2014-01-16neigh: use NEIGH_VAR_INIT in ndo_neigh_setup functions.Jiri Pirko1-2/+2
When ndo_neigh_setup is called, the bitfield used by NEIGH_VAR_SET is not initialized yet. This might cause confusion for the people who use NEIGH_VAR_SET in ndo_neigh_setup. So rather introduce NEIGH_VAR_INIT for usage in ndo_neigh_setup. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-01-16ipv6 addrconf: don't cleanup prefix route for IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTEThomas Haller1-75/+109
Refactor the deletion/update of prefix routes when removing an address. Now also consider IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE and if there is an address present with this flag, to not cleanup the route. Instead, assume that userspace is taking care of this route. Also perform the same cleanup, when userspace changes an existing address to add NOPREFIXROUTE (to an address that didn't have this flag). This is done because when the address was added, a prefix route was created for it. Since the user now wants to handle this route by himself, we cleanup this route. This cleanup of the route is not totally robust. There is no guarantee, that the route we are about to delete was really the one added by the kernel. This behavior does not change by the patch, and in practice it should work just fine. Signed-off-by: Thomas Haller <thaller@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-01-16ipv6 addrconf: add IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag to suppress creation of IP6 routesThomas Haller1-6/+13
When adding/modifying an IPv6 address, the userspace application needs a way to suppress adding a prefix route. This is for example relevant together with IFA_F_MANAGERTEMPADDR, where userspace creates autoconf generated addresses, but depending on on-link, no route for the prefix should be added.

2014-01-16net: rename sysfs symlinks on device name changeVeaceslav Falico1-0/+22
Currently, we don't rename the upper/lower_ifc symlinks in /sys/class/net/*/ , which might result stale/duplicate links/names. Fix this by adding netdev_adjacent_rename_links(dev, oldname) which renames all the upper/lower interface's links to dev from the upper/lower_oldname to the new name. We don't need a rollback because only we control these symlinks and if we fail to rename them - sysfs will anyway complain.

2014-01-14inet_diag: fix inet_diag_dump_icsk() to use correct state for timewait socketsNeal Cardwell1-1/+4
Fix inet_diag_dump_icsk() to reflect the fact that both TCP_TIME_WAIT and TCP_FIN_WAIT2 connections are represented by inet_timewait_sock (not just TIME_WAIT), and for such sockets the tw_substate field holds the real state, which can be either TCP_TIME_WAIT or TCP_FIN_WAIT2. This brings the inet_diag state-matching code in line with the field it uses to populate idiag_state. This is also analogous to the info exported in /proc/net/tcp, where get_tcp4_sock() exports sk->sk_state and get_timewait4_sock() exports tw->tw_substate. Before fixing this, (a) neither "ss -nemoi" nor "ss -nemoi state fin-wait-2" would return a socket in TCP_FIN_WAIT2; and (b) "ss -nemoi state time-wait" would also return sockets in state TCP_FIN_WAIT2.

2014-01-13net: gro: change GRO overflow strategyEric Dumazet1-2/+15
GRO layer has a limit of 8 flows being held in GRO list, for performance reason. When a packet comes for a flow not yet in the list, and list is full, we immediately give it to upper stacks, lowering aggregation performance. With TSO auto sizing and FQ packet scheduler, this situation happens more often. This patch changes strategy to simply evict the oldest flow of the list. This works better because of the nature of packet trains for which GRO is efficient. This also has the effect of lowering the GRO latency if many flows are competing. Tested : Used a 40Gbps NIC, with 4 RX queues, and 200 concurrent TCP_STREAM netperf. Before patch, aggregate rate is 11Gbps (while a single flow can reach 30Gbps) After patch, line rate is reached.

This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information. Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.

2014-01-13ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_forward and protect forwarding path with itHannes Frederic Sowa1-1/+22
In the IPv6 forwarding path we are only concerend about the outgoing interface MTU, but also respect locked MTUs on routes. Tunnel provider or IPSEC already have to recheck and if needed send PtB notifications to the sending host in case the data does not fit into the packet with added headers (we only know the final header sizes there, while also using path MTU information). The reason for this change is, that path MTU information can be injected into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv6 forwarding path to wrongfully emit Packet-too-Big errors and drop IPv6 packets.

2014-01-13ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against ↵Hannes Frederic Sowa4-8/+17
pmtu spoofing While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu. We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse. I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED. Because someone might have written a software which does probe destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a route for forwarding. The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment packets along a path. Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.
