2013-07-04ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information ↵Hannes Frederic Sowa1-0/+2
are available After the removal of rt->n we do not create a neighbour entry at route insertion time (rt6_bind_neighbour is gone). As long as no neighbour is created because of "useful traffic" we skip this routing entry because rt6_check_neigh cannot pick up a valid neighbour (neigh == NULL) and thus returns false. This change was introduced by commit 887c95cc1da53f66a5890fdeab13414613010097 ("ipv6: Complete neighbour entry removal from dst_entry.") To quote RFC4191: "If the host has no information about the router's reachability, then the host assumes the router is reachable." and also: "A host MUST NOT probe a router's reachability in the absence of useful traffic that the host would have sent to the router if it were reachable." So, just assume the router is reachable and let's rt6_probe do the rest. We don't need to create a neighbour on route insertion time. If we don't compile with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF (RFC4191 support) a neighbour is only valid if its nud_state is NUD_VALID. I did not find any references that we should probe the router on route insertion time via the other RFCs. So skip this route in that case. v2: a) use IS_ENABLED instead of #ifdefs (thanks to Sergei Shtylyov) Reported-by: Pierre Emeriaud <petrus.lt@gmail.com> Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The FEC conflict was two sets of changes adding ethtool support code in an "!CONFIG_M5272" CPP protected block.

There is no reason to skip ECMP lookup when oif is specified, but this implies to check oif given by user when selecting another route. When the new route does not match oif requirement, we simply keep the initial one.

2013-07-02ipv6: only apply anti-spoofing checks to not-pointopoint tunnelsHannes Frederic Sowa1-1/+1
Because of commit 218774dc341f219bfcf940304a081b121a0e8099 ("ipv6: add anti-spoofing checks for 6to4 and 6rd") the sit driver dropped packets for 2002::/16 destinations and sources even when configured to work as a tunnel with fixed endpoint. We may only apply the 6rd/6to4 anti-spoofing checks if the device is not in pointopoint mode. This was an oversight from me in the above commit, sorry. Thanks to Roman Mamedov for reporting this!

2013-06-29ipv6: resend MLD report if a link-local address completes DADHannes Frederic Sowa2-5/+64
RFC3590/RFC3810 specifies we should resend MLD reports as soon as a valid link-local address is available. We now use the valid_ll_addr_cnt to check if it is necessary to resend a new report. Changes since Flavio Leitner's version: a) adapt for valid_ll_addr_cnt b) resend first reports directly in the path and just arm the timer for mc_qrv-1 resends.

2013-06-29ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addressesHannes Frederic Sowa1-8/+31
To reduce the number of unnecessary router solicitations, MLDv2 and IGMPv3 messages we need to track the number of valid (as in non-optimistic, no-dad-failed and non-tentative) link-local addresses. Therefore, this patch implements a valid_ll_addr_cnt in struct inet6_dev. We now only emit router solicitations if the first link-local address finishes duplicate address detection. The changes for MLDv2 and IGMPv3 are in a follow-up patch.

2013-06-26ipv6: split duplicate address detection and router solicitation timerHannes Frederic Sowa1-73/+91
This patch splits the timers for duplicate address detection and router solicitations apart. The router solicitations timer goes into inet6_dev and the dad timer stays in inet6_ifaddr. The reason behind this patch is to reduce the number of unneeded router solicitations send out by the host if additional link-local addresses are created. Currently we send out RS for every link-local address on an interface. If the RS timer fires we pick a source address with ipv6_get_lladdr. This change could hurt people adding additional link-local addresses and specifying these addresses in the radvd clients section because we no longer guarantee that we use every ll address as source address in router solicitations.

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.

2013-05-28MPLS: Add limited GSO supportSimon Horman2-1/+3
In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

2013-05-26net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.Lorenzo Colitti4-6/+243
This adds the ability to send ICMPv6 echo requests without a raw socket. The equivalent ability for ICMPv4 was added in 2011. Instead of having separate code paths for IPv4 and IPv6, make most of the code in net/ipv4/ping.c dual-stack and only add a few IPv6-specific bits (like the protocol definition) to a new net/ipv6/ping.c. Hopefully this will reduce divergence and/or duplication of bugs in the future. Caveats: - Setting options via ancillary data (e.g., using IPV6_PKTINFO to specify the outgoing interface) is not yet supported. - There are no separate security settings for IPv4 and IPv6; everything is controlled by /proc/net/ipv4/ping_group_range. - The proc interface does not yet display IPv6 ping sockets properly. Tested with a patched copy of ping6 and using raw socket calls. Compiles and works with all of CONFIG_IPV6={n,m,y}. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-05-23netfilter: add nf_ipv6_ops hook to fix xt_addrtype with IPv6Florian Westphal2-1/+8
Quoting https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812: [ ip6tables -m addrtype ] When I tried to use in the nat/PREROUTING it messes up the routing cache even if the rule didn't matched at all. [..] If I remove the --limit-iface-in from the non-working scenario, so just use the -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL it works! This happens when LOCAL type matching is requested with --limit-iface-in, and the default ipv6 route is via the interface the packet we test arrived on. Because xt_addrtype uses ip6_route_output, the ipv6 routing implementation creates an unwanted cached entry, and the packet won't make it to the real/expected destination. Silently ignoring --limit-iface-in makes the routing work but it breaks rule matching (--dst-type LOCAL with limit-iface-in is supposed to only match if the dst address is configured on the incoming interface; without --limit-iface-in it will match if the address is reachable via lo). The test should call ipv6_chk_addr() instead. However, this would add a link-time dependency on ipv6. There are two possible solutions: 1) Revert the commit that moved ipt_addrtype to xt_addrtype, and put ipv6 specific code into ip6t_addrtype. 2) add new "nf_ipv6_ops" struct to register pointers to ipv6 functions. While the former might seem preferable, Pablo pointed out that there are more xt modules with link-time dependeny issues regarding ipv6, so lets go for 2).
