2013-09-21ip*.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches1-149/+119
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

2013-05-25net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.Lorenzo Colitti1-0/+6
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.

2013-02-21ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcpEric Dumazet1-0/+12
It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6 sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very long list. We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR. inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead of xoring them.

2013-01-17net: increase fragment memory usage limitsJesper Dangaard Brouer1-2/+2
Increase the amount of memory usage limits for incomplete IP fragments. Arguing for new thresh high/low values: High threshold = 4 MBytes Low threshold = 3 MBytes The fragmentation memory accounting code, tries to account for the real memory usage, by measuring both the size of frag queue struct (inet_frag_queue (ipv4:ipq/ipv6:frag_queue)) and the SKB's truesize. We want to be able to handle/hold-on-to enough fragments, to ensure good performance, without causing incomplete fragments to hurt scalability, by causing the number of inet_frag_queue to grow too much (resulting longer searches for frag queues). For IPv4, how much memory does the largest frag consume. Maximum size fragment is 64K, which is approx 44 fragments with MTU(1500) sized packets. Sizeof(struct ipq) is 200. A 1500 byte packet results in a truesize of 2944 (not 2048 as I first assumed) (44*2944)+200 = 129736 bytes The current default high thresh of 262144 bytes, is obviously problematic, as only two 64K fragments can fit in the queue at the same time. How many 64K fragment can we fit into 4 MBytes: 4*2^20/((44*2944)+200) = 32.34 fragment in queues An attacker could send a separate/distinct fake fragment packets per queue, causing us to allocate one inet_frag_queue per packet, and thus attacking the hash table and its lists. How many frag queue do we need to store, and given a current hash size of 64, what is the average list length. Using one MTU sized fragment per inet_frag_queue, each consuming (2944+200) 3144 bytes. 4*2^20/(2944+200) = 1334 frag queues -> 21 avg list length An attack could send small fragments, the smallest packet I could send resulted in a truesize of 896 bytes (I'm a little surprised by this). 4*2^20/(896+200) = 3827 frag queues -> 59 avg list length When increasing these number, we also need to followup with improvements, that is going to help scalability. Simply increasing the hash size, is not enough as the current implementation does not have a per hash bucket locking. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-09-19ipv6: unify conntrack reassembly expire code with standard oneAmerigo Wang1-0/+19
Two years ago, Shan Wei tried to fix this: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/43905/ The problem is that RFC2460 requires an ICMP Time Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be sent to the source of that fragment, if the defragmentation times out. " If insufficient fragments are received to complete reassembly of a packet within 60 seconds of the reception of the first-arriving fragment of that packet, reassembly of that packet must be abandoned and all the fragments that have been received for that packet must be discarded. If the first fragment (i.e., the one with a Fragment Offset of zero) has been received, an ICMP Time Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be sent to the source of that fragment. " As Herbert suggested, we could actually use the standard IPv6 reassembly code which follows RFC2460. With this patch applied, I can see ICMP Time Exceeded sent from the receiver when the sender sent out 3/4 fragmented IPv6 UDP packet.

Correct a long standing omission and use struct pid in the owner field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the share type is IPV6_FL_S_PROCESS. This guarantees we don't have issues when pid wraparound occurs. Use a kuid_t in the owner field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the share type is IPV6_FL_S_USER to add user namespace support. In /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel capture the current pid namespace when opening the file and release the pid namespace when the file is closed ensuring we print the pid owner value that is meaning to the reader of the file. Similarly use from_kuid_munged to print uid values that are meaningful to the reader of the file. This requires exporting pid_nr_ns so that ipv6 can continue to built as a module.
