ipv6: reset dst.expires value when clearing expire flag

2013-11-20T20:31:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 01ba16d6ec85a1ec4669c75513a76b61ec53ee50 ] On receiving a packet too big icmp error we update the expire value by calling rt6_update_expires. This function uses dst_set_expires which is implemented that it can only reduce the expiration value of the dst entry. If we insert new routing non-expiry information into the ipv6 fib where we already have a matching rt6_info we only clear the RTF_EXPIRES flag in rt6i_flags and leave the dst.expires value as is. When new mtu information arrives for that cached dst_entry we again call dst_set_expires. This time it won't update the dst.expire value because we left the dst.expire value intact from the last update. So dst_set_expires won't touch dst.expires. Fix this by resetting dst.expires when clearing the RTF_EXPIRE flag. dst_set_expires checks for a zero expiration and updates the dst.expires. In the past this (not updating dst.expires) was necessary because dst.expire was placed in a union with the dst_entry *from reference and rt6_clean_expires did assign NULL to it. This split happend in ecd9883724b78cc72ed92c98bcb1a46c764fff21 ("ipv6: fix race condition regarding dst->expires and dst->from"). Reported-by: Steinar H.

ipv6: fill rt6i_gateway with nexthop address

2013-11-04T12:35:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 550bab42f83308c9d6ab04a980cc4333cef1c8fa ] Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly attached to skb for generated ICMP packets. The effect of this patch should be a faster version of rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as nexthop.

ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present

2013-11-04T12:35:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 96dc809514fb2328605198a0602b67554d8cce7b ] In v3.9 6fd6ce2056de2709 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2() such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used instead of an assigned neighbor. As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing compared to the destination address. Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway in rt6_nexthop(). Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is not wrongly diverted to the destination address.

net: fix cipso packet validation when !NETLABEL

[ Upstream commit f2e5ddcc0d12f9c4c7b254358ad245c9dddce13b ] When CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, the cipso_v4_validate() function could loop forever in the main loop if opt[opt_iter +1] == 0, this will causing a kernel crash in an SMP system, since the CPU executing this function will stall /not respond to IPIs.

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

2013-11-04T12:35:11+00:00

[ Upstream commits 6d36824e730f247b602c90e8715a792003e3c5a7, 02cf4ebd82ff0ac7254b88e466820a290ed8289a, and parts of 7eec4174ff29cd42f2acfae8112f51c228545d40 ] After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Neal Cardwell Cc: Yuchung Cheng Cc: Van Jacobson Cc: Tom Herbert Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S.

IPv6 NAT: Do not drop DNATed 6to4/6rd packets

2013-10-14T01:14:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7df37ff33dc122f7bd0614d707939fe84322d264 ] When a router is doing DNAT for 6to4/6rd packets the latest anti-spoofing commit 218774dc ("ipv6: add anti-spoofing checks for 6to4 and 6rd") will drop them because the IPv6 address embedded does not match the IPv4 destination. This patch will allow them to pass by testing if we have an address that matches on 6to4/6rd interface. I have been hit by this problem using Fedora and IPV6TO4_IPV4ADDR.

ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed

2013-10-14T01:14:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 703133de331a7a7df47f31fb9de51dc6f68a9de8 ] If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure correct defragmentation on the peer. For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator. If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss or data corruption. Signed-off-by: Ansis Atteka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
