2011-09-20ip6_tunnel: add optional fwmark inheritEric Dumazet1-7/+16
Add IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_FWMARK to ip6_tunnel, so that ip6_tnl_xmit2() makes a route lookup taking into account skb->fwmark and doesnt cache lookup result. This permits more flexibility in policies and firewall setups. To setup such a tunnel, "fwmark inherit" option should be added to "ip -f inet6 tunnel" command.

2011-09-16ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are acceptedTore Anderson1-4/+4
This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is not accepting RAs. 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.

2011-08-06net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.David S. Miller2-0/+2
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

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.

2011-07-01ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller1-6/+7
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set.

Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags. However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong.

2011-06-21ipv6/udp: Use the correct variable to determine non-blocking conditionXufeng Zhang1-1/+1
udpv6_recvmsg() function is not using the correct variable to determine whether or not the socket is in non-blocking operation, this will lead to unexpected behavior when a UDP checksum error occurs. Consider a non-blocking udp receive scenario: when udpv6_recvmsg() is called by sock_common_recvmsg(), MSG_DONTWAIT bit of flags variable in udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call: err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(iocb, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); i.e. with udpv6_recvmsg() getting these values: int noblock = flags & MSG_DONTWAIT int flags = flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT So, when udp checksum error occurs, the execution will go to csum_copy_err, and then the problem happens: csum_copy_err: ............... if (flags & MSG_DONTWAIT) return -EAGAIN; goto try_again; ............... But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be: if (noblock) return -EAGAIN; This is also consistent with what the ipv4/udp code does.

2011-06-16netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handlingNicolas Cavallari1-1/+2
By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the process. These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue, netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP header instead. This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header if there is none in the packet.

2011-06-08ipv6: generate link local address for GRE tunnelstephen hemminger1-0/+35
Use same logic as SIT tunnel to handle link local address for GRE tunnel. OSPFv3 requires link-local address to function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-06-06net/ipv6: check for mistakenly passed in non-AF_INET6 sockaddrsMarcus Meissner1-0/+4
Same check as for IPv4, also do for IPv6. (If you passed in a IPv4 sockaddr_in here, the sizeof check in the line before would have triggered already though.) Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de> Cc: Reinhard Max <max@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Netlink message lengths can't be negative, so use unsigned variables. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2011-06-06netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ct refcount leak in l4proto->error()Pablo Neira Ayuso1-1/+1
This patch fixes a refcount leak of ct objects that may occur if l4proto->error() assigns one conntrack object to one skbuff. In that case, we have to skip further processing in nf_conntrack_in(). With this patch, we can also fix wrong return values (-NF_ACCEPT) for special cases in ICMP[v6] that should not bump the invalid/error statistic counters.
