net: change accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to affect all RA lifetimes

2023-10-25T09:54:14+00:00

commit 5027d54a9c30bc7ec808360378e2b4753f053f25 upstream. accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route and discarded entire RAs accordingly. This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section is ignored. In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s) with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications). The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing twice.

net: add sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft

2023-10-25T09:54:14+00:00

commit 1671bcfd76fdc0b9e65153cf759153083755fe4c upstream. This change adds a new sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to specify the minimum acceptable router lifetime in an RA. If the received RA router lifetime is less than the configured value (and not 0), the RA is ignored. This is useful for mobile devices, whose battery life can be impacted by networks that configure RAs with a short lifetime. On such networks, the device should never gain IPv6 provisioning and should attempt to drop RAs via hardware offload, if available.

uapi: add missing ip/ipv6 header dependencies for linux/stddef.h

2023-02-15T16:22:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 03702d4d29be4e2510ec80b248dbbde4e57030d9 ] Since commit 58e0be1ef6118 ("net: use struct_group to copy ip/ipv6 header addresses"), ip and ipv6 headers started to use the __struct_group definition, which is defined at include/uapi/linux/stddef.h.

net: ipv6: add support for rpl sr exthdr

2020-03-30T05:30:57+00:00

This patch adds rpl source routing receive handling. Everything works only if sysconf "rpl_seg_enabled" and source routing is enabled. Mostly the same behaviour as IPv6 segmentation routing. To handle compression and uncompression a rpl.c file is created which contains the necessary functionality. The receive handling will also care about IPv6 encapsulated so far it's specified as possible nexthdr in RFC 6554. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ipv6: sysctl to specify IPv6 ND traffic class

2017-11-11T06:13:02+00:00

Add a per-device sysctl to specify the default traffic class to use for kernel originated IPv6 Neighbour Discovery packets. Currently this includes: - Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133) ndisc_send_rs() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Neighbour Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135) ndisc_send_ns() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Neighbour Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136) ndisc_send_na() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Redirect (ICMPv6 type 137) ndisc_send_redirect() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() and if the kernel ever gets around to generating RA's, it would presumably also include: - Router Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 134) (radvd daemon could pick up on the kernel setting and use it) Interface drivers may examine the Traffic Class value and translate the DiffServ Code Point into a link-layer appropriate traffic prioritization scheme. An example of mapping IETF DSCP values to IEEE 802.11 User Priority values can be found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-ieee-802-11 The expected primary use case is to properly prioritize ND over wifi.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

net: ipv6: Add sysctl for minimum prefix len acceptable in RIOs.

2017-03-22T21:20:54+00:00

This commit adds a new sysctl accept_ra_rt_info_min_plen that defines the minimum acceptable prefix length of Route Information Options. The new sysctl is intended to be used together with accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to configure a range of acceptable prefix lengths. It is useful to prevent misconfigurations from unintentionally blackholing too much of the IPv6 address space (e.g., home routers announcing RIOs for fc00::/7, which is incorrect).

net/ipv6: allow sysctl to change link-local address generation mode

2017-01-27T15:25:34+00:00

The address generation mode for IPv6 link-local can only be configured by netlink messages. This patch adds the ability to change the address generation mode via sysctl. v1 -> v2 Removed the rtnl lock and switch to use RCU lock to iterate through the netdev list. v2 -> v3 Removed the addrgenmode variable from the idev structure and use the systcl storage for the flag. Simplifed the logic for sysctl handling by removing the supported for all operation. Added support for more types of tunnel interfaces for link-local address generation. Based the patches from net-next. v3 -> v4 Removed unnecessary whitespace changes. Signed-off-by: Felix Jia Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
