route: add support for directed broadcast forwarding

2018-07-29T19:37:06+00:00

This patch implements the feature described in rfc1812#section-5.3.5.2 and rfc2644. It allows the router to forward directed broadcast when sysctl bc_forwarding is enabled. Note that this feature could be done by iptables -j TEE, but it would cause some problems: - target TEE's gateway param has to be set with a specific address, and it's not flexible especially when the route wants forward all directed broadcasts. - this duplicates the directed broadcasts so this may cause side effects to applications. Besides, to keep consistent with other os router like BSD, it's also necessary to implement it in the route rx path. Note that route cache needs to be flushed when bc_forwarding is changed.

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.
