ipv6: Ensure natural alignment of const ipv6 loopback and router addresses

2024-01-30T11:43:18+00:00

On a parisc64 kernel I sometimes notice this kernel warning: Kernel unaligned access to 0x40ff8814 at ndisc_send_skb+0xc0/0x4d8 The address 0x40ff8814 points to the in6addr_linklocal_allrouters variable and the warning simply means that some ipv6 function tries to read a 64-bit word directly from the not-64-bit aligned in6addr_linklocal_allrouters variable. Unaligned accesses are non-critical as the architecture or exception handlers usually will fix it up at runtime. Nevertheless it may trigger a performance penality for some architectures. For details read the "unaligned-memory-access" kernel documentation. The patch below ensures that the ipv6 loopback and router addresses will always be naturally aligned. This prevents the unaligned accesses for all architectures.

net: rename reference+tracking helpers

2022-06-10T04:52:55+00:00

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively recent and should be the default for new code. Rename: dev_hold_track() -> netdev_hold() dev_put_track() -> netdev_put() dev_replace_track() -> netdev_ref_replace() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220608043955.919359-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU

2021-03-26T22:14:56+00:00

The ifmcaddr6 has been protected by inet6_dev->lock(rwlock) so that the critical section is atomic context. In order to switch this context, changing locking is needed. The ifmcaddr6 actually already protected by RTNL So if it's converted to use RCU, its control path context can be switched to sleepable.

net: ipv6_stub: use ip6_dst_lookup_flow instead of ip6_dst_lookup

2019-12-04T20:27:13+00:00

ipv6_stub uses the ip6_dst_lookup function to allow other modules to perform IPv6 lookups. However, this function skips the XFRM layer entirely. All users of ipv6_stub->ip6_dst_lookup use ip_route_output_flow (via the ip_route_output_key and ip_route_output helpers) for their IPv4 lookups, which calls xfrm_lookup_route(). This patch fixes this inconsistent behavior by switching the stub to ip6_dst_lookup_flow, which also calls xfrm_lookup_route(). This requires some changes in all the callers, as these two functions take different arguments and have different return types.
