neighbour: switch to standard rcu, instead of rcu_bh

2023-10-10T20:00:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 09eed1192cec1755967f2af8394207acdde579a1 ] rcu_bh is no longer a win, especially for objects freed with standard call_rcu(). Switch neighbour code to no longer disable BH when not necessary.

ipv6: fix skb drops in igmp6_event_query() and igmp6_event_report()

2022-03-03T17:47:06+00:00

While investigating on why a synchronize_net() has been added recently in ipv6_mc_down(), I found that igmp6_event_query() and igmp6_event_report() might drop skbs in some cases. Discussion about removing synchronize_net() from ipv6_mc_down() will happen in a different thread.

ipv6: separate ndisc_ns_create() from ndisc_send_ns()

2022-02-21T12:13:45+00:00

This patch separate NS message allocation steps from ndisc_send_ns(), so it could be used in other places, like bonding, to allocate and send IPv6 NS message. Also export ndisc_send_skb() and ndisc_ns_create() for later bonding usage. Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: ndisc: adjust ndisc_ifinfo_sysctl_change prototype

2020-08-24T13:40:07+00:00

Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") changed ndisc_ifinfo_sysctl_change to take a kernel pointer. Adjust its prototype in net/ndisc.h as well to fix the following sparse warning: net/ipv6/ndisc.c:1838:5: error: symbol 'ndisc_ifinfo_sysctl_change' redeclared with different type (incompatible argument 3 (different address spaces)): net/ipv6/ndisc.c:1838:5: int extern [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] ndisc_ifinfo_sysctl_change( ... ) net/ipv6/ndisc.c: note: in included file (through include/net/ipv6.h): ./include/net/ndisc.h:496:5: note: previously declared as: ./include/net/ndisc.h:496:5: int extern [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] ndisc_ifinfo_sysctl_change( ... ) net/ipv6/ndisc.c: note: in included file (through include/net/ip6_route.h): Fixes: 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: ndisc: add support for 'PREF64' dns64 prefix identifier

2020-03-27T03:05:58+00:00

This is trivial since we already have support for the entirely identical (from the kernel's point of view) RDNSS, DNSSL, etc. that also contain opaque data that needs to be passed down to userspace for further processing. As specified in draft-ietf-6man-ra-pref64-09 (while it is still a draft, it is purely waiting on the RFC Editor for cleanups and publishing): PREF64 option contains lifetime and a (up to) 96-bit IPv6 prefix. The 8-bit identifier of the option type as assigned by the IANA is 38. Since we lack DNS64/NAT64/CLAT support in kernel at the moment, thus this option should also be passed on to userland.

ndisc: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-03-01T05:52:20+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
