2011-01-18ipv6: Silence privacy extensions initializationRomain Francoise1-3/+0
When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set. This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg. It's easy enough to check the status of privacy extensions via the use_tempaddr sysctl, so just removing the printk seems like the most sensible solution.

2010-11-27rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomicThomas Graf1-6/+0
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already leaving the link behind in a undefined state. This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to commit the changes later. This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the validation function method will not be able to detect all error scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex and thus may change between validation and setting. Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and config blocks for address families which did not register a set function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without notifying the user.

2010-11-12ipv6: addrconf: don't remove address state on ifdown if the address is being keptLorenzo Colitti1-16/+8
Currently, addrconf_ifdown does not delete statically configured IPv6 addresses when the interface is brought down. The intent is that when the interface comes back up the address will be usable again. However, this doesn't actually work, because the system stops listening on the corresponding solicited-node multicast address, so the address cannot respond to neighbor solicitations and thus receive traffic. Also, the code notifies the rest of the system that the address is being deleted (e.g, RTM_DELADDR), even though it is not. Fix it so that none of this state is updated if the address is being kept on the interface. Tested: Added a statically configured IPv6 address to an interface, started ping, brought link down, brought link up again. When link came up ping kept on going and "ip -6 maddr" showed that the host was still subscribed to there Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-26IPv6: Temp addresses are immediately deleted.Glenn Wurster1-3/+4
There is a bug in the interaction between ipv6_create_tempaddr and addrconf_verify. Because ipv6_create_tempaddr uses the cstamp and tstamp from the public address in creating a private address, if we have not received a router advertisement in a while, tstamp + temp_valid_lft might be < now. If this happens, the new address is created inside ipv6_create_tempaddr, then the loop within addrconf_verify starts again and the address is immediately deleted. We are left with no temporary addresses on the interface, and no more will be created until the public IP address is updated. To avoid this, set the expiry time to be the minimum of the time left on the public address or the config option PLUS the current age of the public interface.

2010-09-26ipv6: add a missing unregister_pernet_subsys callNeil Horman1-3/+8
Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines. In addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure. But if module loading fails, or if the ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call, which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in subsequent registrations. This patch cleans up both the failed load path and the unload path. Tested by myself with good results.

This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-26net: fix netlink address dumping in IPv4/IPv6Patrick McHardy1-1/+1
When a dump is interrupted at the last device in a hash chain and then continued, "idx" won't get incremented past s_idx, so s_ip_idx is not reset when moving on to the next device. This means of all following devices only the last n - s_ip_idx addresses are dumped. Tested-by: Pawel Staszewski <pstaszewski@itcare.pl> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2010-03-25ipv6: Fix result generation in ipv6_get_ifaddr().David S. Miller1-3/+4
Finishing naturally from hlist_for_each_entry(x, ...) does not result in 'x' being NULL. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-25ipv6: Preserve pervious behavior in ipv6_link_dev_addr().David S. Miller1-1/+1
Use list_add_tail() to get the behavior we had before the list_head conversion for ipv6 address lists. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-20ipv6: Fix bug in ipv6_chk_same_addr().David S. Miller1-8/+7
hlist_for_each_entry(p...) will not necessarily initialize 'p' to anything if the hlist is empty. GCC notices this and emits a warning. Just return true explicitly when we hit a match, and return false is we fall out of the loop without one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-20ipv6: Reduce timer events for addrconf_verify().YOSHIFUJI Hideaki1-4/+23
This patch reduces timer events while keeping accuracy by rounding our timer and/or batching several address validations in addrconf_verify(). addrconf_verify() is called at earliest timeout among interface addresses' timeouts, but at maximum ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY (120 secs). In most cases, all of timeouts of interface addresses are long enough (e.g. several hours or days vs 2 minutes), this timer is usually called every ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY, and it is okay to be lazy. (Note this timer could be eliminated if all code paths which modifies variables related to timeouts call us manually, but it is another story.) However, in other least but important cases, we try keeping accuracy. When the real interface address timeout is coming, and the timeout is just before the rounded timeout, we accept some error. When a timeout has been reached, we also try batching other several events in very near future. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
