| * net: delete all instances of special processing for token ringPaul Gortmaker2012-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring support present but inert. The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate commit, so that the history of these files that we still care about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use. we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from. The dst.from is only used in IPV6. rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired. ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort. ip6_dst_destroy release the ort. Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together. and change the code to use these new adding functions. Changes from v5: modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions. Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

* net: race condition in ipv6 forwarding and disable_ipv6 parametersFrancesco Ruggeri2012-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race condition in addrconf_sysctl_forward() and addrconf_sysctl_disable(). These functions change idev->cnf.forwarding (resp. idev->cnf.disable_ipv6) and then try to grab the rtnl lock before performing any actions. If that fails they restore the original value and restart the syscall. This creates race conditions if ipv6 code tries to access these parameters, or if multiple instances try to do the same operation. As an example of the former, if __ipv6_ifa_notify() finds a 0 in idev->cnf.forwarding when invoked by addrconf_ifdown() it may not free anycast addresses, ultimately resulting in the net_device not being freed. This patch reads the user parameters into a temporary location and only writes the actual parameters when the rtnl lock is acquired. Tested in 2.6.38.8.

* ipv6: Check RA for sllao when configuring optimistic ipv6 address (v2)Neil Horman2012-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently Dave noticed that a test we did in ipv6_add_addr to see if we next hop route for the interface we're adding an addres to was wrong (see commit 7ffbcecbeed91e5874e9a1cfc4c0cbb07dac3069). for one, it never triggers, and two, it was completely wrong to begin with. This test was meant to cover this section of RFC 4429: 3.3 Modifications to RFC 2462 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration * (modifies section 5.5) A host MAY choose to configure a new address as an Optimistic Address. A host that does not know the SLLAO of its router SHOULD NOT configure a new address as Optimistic. A router SHOULD NOT configure an Optimistic Address. This patch should bring us into proper compliance with the above clause. Since we only add a SLAAC address after we've received a RA which may or may not contain a source link layer address option, we can pass a pointer to that option to addrconf_prefix_rcv (which may be null if the option is not present), and only set the optimistic flag if the option was found in the RA. Change notes: (v2) modified the new parameter to addrconf_prefix_rcv to be a bool rather than a pointer to make its use more clear as per request from davem.

Suppose there are two interfaces on my computer (lo and eth0), if we initailize 'lo' before 'eth0', the resuting routing table(for multicast) would be # ip -6 route show | grep ff00:: unreachable ff00::/8 dev lo metric 256 error -101 ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256 When sending multicasting packets, routing subsystem will return the first route entry which with a error set to -101(ENETUNREACH). I know the kernel will set the default ipv6 address for 'lo' when it is up and won't set the default multicast route for it, but there is no reason to stop 'init' program from setting address for 'lo', and that is exactly what systemd did. I am sure there is something wrong with kernel or systemd, currently I preferred kernel caused this problem. ==================== Signed-off-by: Li Wei <lw@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

However, that kind of lookup ignores routing tables, the prefix length and route flags, so when there were other matching routes, even in different tables and/or with a different prefix length, the wrong route would be manipulated.

* | ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are acceptedTore Anderson2011-09-16

In other words, the operational setting of the "accept_ra" sysctl is used. The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode ("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore been removed. Rationale for the change: Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent, otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the following cases: * accept_ra=0, forwarding=0 * accept_ra=0, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=1, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=2, forwarding=1 In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.) Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect to be the case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

* Disable router anycast address for /127 prefixesBjørn Mork2011-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | RFC 6164 requires that routers MUST disable Subnet-Router anycast for the prefix when /127 prefixes are used. No need for matching code in addrconf_leave_anycast() as it will silently ignore any attempt to leave an unknown anycast address. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

* rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose2011-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

| * ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizesEric Dumazet2011-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because they use percpu storage. needed size per device is : (512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2 On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool. Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t) Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.
