net: Switch to skb_dstref_steal/skb_dstref_restore for ip_route_input callers

2026-03-04T12:19:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit e97e6a1830ddb5885ba312e56b6fa3aa39b5f47e ] Going forward skb_dst_set will assert that skb dst_entry is empty during skb_dst_set. skb_dstref_steal is added to reset existing entry without doing refcnt. skb_dstref_restore should be used to restore the previous entry. Convert icmp_route_lookup and ip_options_rcv_srr to these helpers. Add extra call to skb_dstref_reset to icmp_route_lookup to clear the ip_route_input entry.

ipv4: Convert ip_route_input() to dscp_t.

2025-03-07T15:45:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7e863e5db6185b1add0df4cb01b31a4ed1c4b738 ] Pass a dscp_t variable to ip_route_input(), instead of a plain u8, to prevent accidental setting of ECN bits in ->flowi4_tos. Callers of ip_route_input() to consider are: * input_action_end_dx4_finish() and input_action_end_dt4() in net/ipv6/seg6_local.c. These functions set the tos parameter to 0, which is already a valid dscp_t value, so they don't need to be adjusted for the new prototype. * icmp_route_lookup(), which already has a dscp_t variable to pass as parameter. We just need to remove the inet_dscp_to_dsfield() conversion. * br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), ip_options_rcv_srr() and ip4ip6_err(), which get the DSCP directly from IPv4 headers. Define a helper to read the .tos field of struct iphdr as dscp_t, so that these function don't have to do the conversion manually. While there, declare *iph as const in br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), declare its local variables in reverse-christmas-tree order and move the "err = ip_route_input()" assignment out of the conditional to avoid checkpatch warning.

vrf: check accept_source_route on the original netdevice

2019-04-01T17:44:58+00:00

Configuration check to accept source route IP options should be made on the incoming netdevice when the skb->dev is an l3mdev master.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ip/options: explicitly provide net ns to __ip_options_echo()

2017-08-07T03:51:12+00:00

__ip_options_echo() uses the current network namespace, and currently retrives it via skb->dst->dev. This commit adds an explicit 'net' argument to __ip_options_echo() and update all the call sites to provide it, usually via a simpler sock_net(). After this change, __ip_options_echo() no more needs to access skb->dst and we can drop a couple of hack to preserve such info in the rx path. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
