2013-12-02ipv6: judge the accept_ra_defrtr before calling rt6_route_rcvDuan Jiong
when dealing with a RA message, if accept_ra_defrtr is false, the kernel will not add the default route, and then deal with the following route information options. Unfortunately, those options maybe contain default route, so let's judge the accept_ra_defrtr before calling rt6_route_rcv.

2013-09-11ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is readyMichal Kubeček
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(). Take the event handler registration out of ndisc_init() into a separate function ndisc_late_init() and move it after ip6_route_init().

2013-09-05ipv6:introduce function to find route for redirectDuan Jiong
RFC 4861 says that the IP source address of the Redirect is the same as the current first-hop router for the specified ICMP Destination Address, so the gateway should be taken into consideration when we find the route for redirect. There was once a check in commit a6279458c534d01ccc39498aba61c93083ee0372 ("NDISC: Search over all possible rules on receipt of redirect.") and the check went away in commit b94f1c0904da9b8bf031667afc48080ba7c3e8c9 ("ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of rt6_redirect()"). The bug is only "exploitable" on layer-2 because the source address of the redirect is checked to be a valid link-local address but it makes spoofing a lot easier in the same L2 domain nonetheless.

2013-09-04ipv6: Don't depend on per socket memory for neighbour discovery messagesThomas Graf
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.

2013-09-03net: neighbour: Remove CONFIG_ARPDTim Gardner
This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify() for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e., the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.

2013-08-01ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contentionMichal Kubeček
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.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). 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. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-01-04ndisc: Remove unused space at tail of skb for ndisc messages. (TAKE 3)YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
Currently, the size of skb allocated for NDISC is MAX_HEADER + LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) + packet length + dev->needed_tailroom, but only LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) bytes is "reserved" for headers. As a result, the skb looks like this (after construction of the message): head data tail end +--------------------------------------------------------------+ + | | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ |<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|<--MAX_HEADER-->| =LL_ = dev RESERVED_ ->needed_ SPACE(dev) tailroom As the name implies, "MAX_HEADER" is used for headers, and should be "reserved" in prior to packet construction. Or, if some space is really required at the tail of ther skb, it should be explicitly documented. We have several option after construction of NDISC message: Option 1: head data tail end +---------------------------------------------+ + | | | +---------------------------------------------+ |<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->| =LL_ = dev RESERVED_ ->needed_ SPACE(dev) tailroom Option 2: head data tail end +--------------------------------------------------+ + | | | +--------------------------------------------------+ |<--MAX_HEADER-->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->| = dev ->needed_ tailroom Option 3: head data tail end +--------------------------------------------------------------+ + | | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ |<--MAX_HEADER-->|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->| =LL_ = dev RESERVED_ ->needed_ SPACE(dev) tailroom Our tunnel drivers try expanding headroom and the space for tunnel encapsulation was not a mandatory space -- so we are not seeing bugs here --, but just for optimization for performance critial situations. Since NDISC messages are not performance critical unlike TCP, and as we know outgoing device, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) should be just enough for the device in most (if not all) cases: LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) <= LL_MAX_HEADER <= MAX_HEADER Note that LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) is also enough for NDISC over SIT (e.g., ISATAP). So, I think Option 1 is just fine here. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
