2011-12-13ipv6: Check dest prefix length on original route not copied one in ↵David S. Miller
rt6_alloc_cow(). After commit 8e2ec639173f325977818c45011ee176ef2b11f6 ("ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.") the test in rt6_alloc_cow() for setting the ANYCAST flag is now wrong. 'rt' will always now have a plen of 128, because it is set explicitly to 128 by ip6_rt_copy. So to restore the semantics of the test, check the destination prefix length of 'ort'.

2011-12-13ipv6: If neigh lookup fails during icmp6 dst allocation, propagate error.David S. Miller
Don't just succeed with a route that has a NULL neighbour attached. This follows the behavior of addrconf_dst_alloc(). Allowing this kind of route to end up with a NULL neigh attached will result in packet drops on output until the route is somehow invalidated, since nothing will meanwhile try to lookup the neigh again. A statistic is bumped for the case where we see a neigh-less route on output, but the resulting packet drop is otherwise silent in nature, and frankly it's a hard error for this to happen and ipv6 should do what ipv4 does which is say something in the kernel logs.

2011-12-12foundations of per-cgroup memory pressure controlling.Glauber Costa
This patch replaces all uses of struct sock fields' memory_pressure, memory_allocated, sockets_allocated, and sysctl_mem to acessor macros. Those macros can either receive a socket argument, or a mem_cgroup argument, depending on the context they live in. Since we're only doing a macro wrapping here, no performance impact at all is expected in the case where we don't have cgroups disabled.

2011-12-12ipip, sit: copy parms.name after register_netdeviceTed Feng
Same fix as 731abb9cb2 for ipip and sit tunnel. Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in ipip_tunnel_locate and ipip6_tunnel_locate, because register_netdevice will now create a valid name, however the tunnel keeps a copy of the name in the private parms structure. Fix this by copying the name back after register_netdevice has successfully returned. This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show: $ sudo ip tunnel add mode ipip remote 10.2.20.211 $ ip tunnel tunl0: ip/ip remote any local any ttl inherit nopmtudisc tunl%d: ip/ip remote 10.2.20.211 local any ttl inherit $ sudo ip tunnel add mode sit remote 10.2.20.212 $ ip tunnel sit0: ipv6/ip remote any local any ttl 64 nopmtudisc 6rd-prefix 2002::/16 sit%d: ioctl 89f8 failed: No such device sit%d: ipv6/ip remote 10.2.20.212 local any ttl inherit Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ted Feng <artisdom@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-12-12ipv6: Fix for adding multicast route for loopback device automatically.Li Wei
There is no obvious reason to add a default multicast route for loopback devices, otherwise there would be a route entry whose dst.error set to -ENETUNREACH that would blocking all multicast packets. ==================== [ more detailed explanation ] The problem is that the resulting routing table depends on the sequence of interface's initialization and in some situation, that would block all muticast packets. 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.

ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived. It applies the alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom. As the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

about missing CREATE flag The support for NLM_F_* flags at IPv6 routing requests. If NLM_F_CREATE flag is not defined for RTM_NEWROUTE request, warning is printed, but no error is returned. Instead new route is added. Later NLM_F_CREATE may be required for new route creation. Exception is when NLM_F_REPLACE flag is given without NLM_F_CREATE, and no matching route is found. In this case it should be safe to assume that the request issuer is familiar with NLM_F_* flags, and does really not want route to be created. Specifying NLM_F_REPLACE flag will now make the kernel to search for matching route, and replace it with new one.

2011-11-14ip6_tunnel: copy parms.name after register_netdeviceJosh Boyer
Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in ip6_tnl_create because register_netdevice will now create a valid name. This works for the net_device itself. However the tunnel keeps a copy of the name in the parms structure for the ip6_tnl associated with the tunnel. parms.name is set by copying the net_device name in ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen. That function is called from ip6_tnl_dev_init in ip6_tnl_create, but it is done before register_netdevice is called so the name is set to a bogus value in the parms.name structure. This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show: [root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel add remote fec0::100 local fec0::200 [root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel show ip6tnl0: ipv6/ipv6 remote :: local :: encaplimit 0 hoplimit 0 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000) ip6tnl%d: ipv6/ipv6 remote fec0::100 local fec0::200 encaplimit 4 hoplimit 64 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000) [root@localhost ~]# Fix this by moving the strcpy out of ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen, and calling it after register_netdevice has successfully returned.

2011-11-14ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibsEric Dumazet
Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very expensive (can be ~88000 us). This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on non x86 arches) ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic operation instead of using percpu data. This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference. We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load. We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios. This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as well. On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg() calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.

The AH4/6 ahash input callbacks read out the nexthdr field from the AH header *after* they overwrite that header. This is obviously not going to end well. Fix it up. Signed-off-by: Nick Bowler <nbowler@elliptictech.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-11-09ah: Correctly pass error codes in ahash output callback.Nick Bowler
The AH4/6 ahash output callbacks pass nexthdr to xfrm_output_resume instead of the error code. This appears to be a copy+paste error from the input case, where nexthdr is expected. This causes the driver to continuously add AH headers to the datagram until either an allocation fails and the packet is dropped or the ahash driver hits a synchronous fallback and the resulting monstrosity is transmitted. Correct this issue by simply passing the error code unadulterated. Signed-off-by: Nick Bowler <nbowler@elliptictech.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-11-08net: make ipv6 PKTINFO honour freebindMaciej Żenczykowski
This just makes it possible to spoof source IPv6 address on a socket without having to create and bind a new socket for every source IP we wish to spoof. Signed-off-by: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-11-08net: make ipv6 bind honour freebindMaciej Żenczykowski
This makes native ipv6 bind follow the precedent set by: - native ipv4 bind behaviour - dual stack ipv4-mapped ipv6 bind behaviour. This does allow an unpriviledged process to spoof its source IPv6 address, just like it currently can spoof its source IPv4 address (for example when using UDP).

2011-11-08net: better pcpu data alignmentEric Dumazet
Tunnels can force an alignment of their percpu data to reduce number of cache lines used in fast path, or read in .ndo_get_stats() percpu_alloc() is a very fine grained allocator, so any small hole will be used anyway.
