2015-09-01ipv6: send NEWLINK on RA managed/otherconf changesMarius Tomaschewski1-0/+5
The kernel is applying the RA managed/otherconf flags silently and forgets to send ifinfo notify to inform about their change when the router provides a zero reachable_time and retrans_timer as dnsmasq and many routers send it, which just means unspecified by this router and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. Userspace may monitor the ifinfo notifications to activate dhcpv6. Signed-off-by: Marius Tomaschewski <mt@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-07-31net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limitHangbin Liu1-9/+7
Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface") disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition. RFC 4861, 6.3.4. Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards.

2015-04-07netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().David Miller1-2/+3
On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that generated the frame. And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP. We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting. The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4 socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-03-04neigh: Factor out ___neigh_lookup_norefEric W. Biederman1-0/+7
While looking at the mpls code I found myself writing yet another version of neigh_lookup_noref. We currently have __ipv4_lookup_noref and __ipv6_lookup_noref. So to make my work a little easier and to make it a smidge easier to verify/maintain the mpls code in the future I stopped and wrote ___neigh_lookup_noref. Then I rewote __ipv4_lookup_noref and __ipv6_lookup_noref in terms of this new function. I tested my new version by verifying that the same code is generated in ip_finish_output2 and ip6_finish_output2 where these functions are inlined. To get to ___neigh_lookup_noref I added a new neighbour cache table function key_eq. So that the static size of the key would be available. I also added __neigh_lookup_noref for people who want to to lookup a neighbour table entry quickly but don't know which neibhgour table they are going to look up. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2015-02-06net: ipv6: allow explicitly choosing optimistic addressesErik Kline1-1/+3
RFC 4429 ("Optimistic DAD") states that optimistic addresses should be treated as deprecated addresses. From section 2.1: Unless noted otherwise, components of the IPv6 protocol stack should treat addresses in the Optimistic state equivalently to those in the Deprecated state, indicating that the address is available for use but should not be used if another suitable address is available. Optimistic addresses are indeed avoided when other addresses are available (i.e. at source address selection time), but they have not heretofore been available for things like explicit bind() and sendmsg() with struct in6_pktinfo, etc. This change makes optimistic addresses treated more like deprecated addresses than tentative ones.

Instead a sysctl flag 'accept_ra_mtu' is introduced such that the user space can control whether or not RA provided MTU updates should be applied.

2014-07-01ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.Ben Greear1-8/+13
This can be used in virtual networking applications, and may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by default. A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables, veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces, and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses, it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems, with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-05-16ipv6: update Destination Cache entries when gateway turn into hostDuan Jiong1-5/+2
RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5: The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the Router flag in the received advertisement. In those cases where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as specified in Section 7.3.3. This is needed to detect when a node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to being configured as a host. Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List, and don't update the Destination Cache entries. Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce function rt6_clean_tohost().

2013-09-12ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is readyMichal Kubeček1-7/+11
When loading the ipv6 module, ndisc_init() is called before ip6_route_init(). As the former registers a handler calling fib6_run_gc(), this opens a window to run the garbage collector before necessary data structures are initialized. If a network device is initialized in this window, adding MAC address to it triggers a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event, leading to a crash in fib6_clean_all().

2013-09-04ipv6: Don't depend on per socket memory for neighbour discovery messagesThomas Graf1-6/+8
Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space. If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets. The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited, use of alloc_skb() bypasses the socket wmem buffer size enforcement while the manual call to skb_set_owner_w() maintains the socket reference needed for the IPv6 output path.

2013-08-02ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contentionMichal Kubeček1-2/+2
On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of entries reaches gc_thresh. This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc() doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc() returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after another which blocks them for quite long. Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so.

2013-05-29ipv6: Correct comparisons and calculations using skb->tail and ↵Simon Horman1-4/+5
skb-transport_header This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In that case skb->tail will be a pointer whereas skb->transport_header will be an offset from head. This is corrected by using wrappers that ensure that comparisons and calculations are always made using pointers. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
