2025-10-17ipv6: Move ipv6_fl_list from ipv6_pinfo to inet_sock.Kuniyuki Iwashima1-1/+0
In {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock, struct ipv6_pinfo is always placed at the beginning of a new cache line because 1. __alignof__(struct tcp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned of __cacheline_group_begin(tcp_sock_write_tx) 2. __alignof__(struct udp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned of struct numa_drop_counters 3. in raw6_sock, struct numa_drop_counters is placed before struct ipv6_pinfo . struct ipv6_pinfo is 136 bytes, but the last cache line is only used by ipv6_fl_list: $ pahole -C ipv6_pinfo vmlinux struct ipv6_pinfo { ... /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 128 8 */ /* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 23 */ Let's move ipv6_fl_list from struct ipv6_pinfo to struct inet_sock to save a full cache line for {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock. Now, struct ipv6_pinfo is 128 bytes, and {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock have 64 bytes less, while {tcp,udp,raw}_sock retain the same size. Before: # grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}' RAWv6 1408 UDPv6 1472 TCPv6 2560 RAW 1152 UDP 1280 TCP 2368 After: # grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}' RAWv6 1344 UDPv6 1408 TCPv6 2496 RAW 1152 UDP 1280 TCP 2368 Also, ipv6_fl_list and inet_flags (SNDFLOW bit) are placed in the same cache line. $ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux ... /* --- cacheline 11 boundary (704 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */ struct ipv6_pinfo * pinet6; /* 760 8 */ /* --- cacheline 12 boundary (768 bytes) --- */ struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 768 8 */ unsigned long inet_flags; /* 776 8 */ Doc churn is due to the insufficient Type column (only 1 space short).

2025-09-14net: use NUMA drop counters for softnet_data.droppedEric Dumazet1-1/+1
Hosts under DOS attack can suffer from false sharing in enqueue_to_backlog() : atomic_inc(&sd->dropped). This is because sd->dropped can be touched from many cpus, possibly residing on different NUMA nodes. Generalize the sk_drop_counters infrastucture added in commit c51613fa276f ("net: add sk->sk_drop_counters") and use it to replace softnet_data.dropped with NUMA friendly softnet_data.drop_counters. This adds 64 bytes per cpu, maybe more in the future if we increase the number of counters (currently 2) per 'struct numa_drop_counters'.

2025-07-25ipv6: add `force_forwarding` sysctl to enable per-interface forwardingGabriel Goller1-0/+1
It is currently impossible to enable ipv6 forwarding on a per-interface basis like in ipv4. To enable forwarding on an ipv6 interface we need to enable it on all interfaces and disable it on the other interfaces using a netfilter rule. This is especially cumbersome if you have lots of interfaces and only want to enable forwarding on a few. According to the sysctl docs [0] the `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding` enables forwarding for all interfaces, while the interface-specific `net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.forwarding` configures the interface Host/Router configuration. Introduce a new sysctl flag `force_forwarding`, which can be set on every interface. The ip6_forwarding function will then check if the global forwarding flag OR the force_forwarding flag is active and forward the packet. To preserve backwards-compatibility reset the flag (on all interfaces) to 0 if the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding flag is set to 0. Add a short selftest that checks if a packet gets forwarded with and without `force_forwarding`.

2025-06-17net: ipv6: Add ip6_mr_output()Petr Machata1-0/+1
Multicast routing is today handled in the input path. Locally generated MC packets don't hit the IPMR code today. Thus if a VXLAN remote address is multicast, the driver needs to set an OIF during route lookup. Thus MC routing configuration needs to be kept in sync with the VXLAN FDB and MDB. Ideally, the VXLAN packets would be routed by the MC routing code instead. To that end, this patch adds support to route locally generated multicast packets. The newly-added routines do largely what ip6_mr_input() and ip6_mr_forward() do: make an MR cache lookup to find where to send the packets, and use ip6_output() to send each of them. When no cache entry is found, the packet is punted to the daemon for resolution. Similarly to the IPv4 case in a previous patch, the new logic is contingent on a newly-added IP6CB flag being set.

2025-03-10ipv6: save dontfrag in corkWillem de Bruijn1-0/+1
When spanning datagram construction over multiple send calls using MSG_MORE, per datagram settings are configured on the first send. That is when ip(6)_setup_cork stores these settings for subsequent use in __ip(6)_append_data and others. The only flag that escaped this was dontfrag. As a result, a datagram could be constructed with df=0 on the first sendmsg, but df=1 on a next. Which is what cmsg_ip.sh does in an upcoming MSG_MORE test in the "diff" scenario. Changing datagram conditions in the middle of constructing an skb makes this already complex code path even more convoluted. It is here unintentional. Bring this flag in line with expected sockopt/cmsg behavior. And stop passing ipc6 to __ip6_append_data, to avoid such issues in the future. This is already the case for __ip_append_data. inet6_cork had a 6 byte hole, so the 1B flag has no impact.

draft-ietf-6man-pio-pflag is adding a new flag to the Prefix Information Option to signal that the network can allocate a unique IPv6 prefix per client via DHCPv6-PD (see draft-ietf-v6ops-dhcp-pd-per-device). When ra_honor_pio_pflag is enabled, the presence of a P-flag causes SLAAC autoconfiguration to be disabled for that particular PIO. An automated test has been added in Android (r.android.com/3195335) to go along with this change.

This change adds a sysctl to opt-out of RFC4862 section 5.5.3e's valid lifetime derivation mechanism. RFC4862 section 5.5.3e prescribes that the valid lifetime in a Router Advertisement PIO shall be ignored if it less than 2 hours and to reset the lifetime of the corresponding address to 2 hours. An in-progress 6man draft (see draft-ietf-6man-slaac-renum-07 section 4.2) is currently looking to remove this mechanism. While this draft has not been moving particularly quickly for other reasons, there is widespread consensus on section 4.2 which updates RFC4862 section 5.5.3e.

2023-07-28net: change accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to affect all RA lifetimesPatrick Rohr1-1/+1
accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route and discarded entire RAs accordingly. This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section is ignored. In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s) with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications). The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing twice.

2023-07-24ipv6: remove hard coded limitation on ipv6_pinfoEric Dumazet1-11/+4
IPv6 inet sockets are supposed to have a "struct ipv6_pinfo" field at the end of their definition, so that inet6_sk_generic() can derive from socket size the offset of the "struct ipv6_pinfo". This is very fragile, and prevents adding bigger alignment in sockets, because inet6_sk_generic() does not work if the compiler adds padding after the ipv6_pinfo component. We are currently working on a patch series to reorganize TCP structures for better data locality and found issues similar to the one fixed in commit f5d547676ca0 ("tcp: fix tcp_inet6_sk() for 32bit kernels") Alternative would be to force an alignment on "struct ipv6_pinfo", greater or equal to __alignof__(any ipv6 sock) to ensure there is no padding.

2022-01-04icmp: ICMPV6: Examine invoking packet for Segment Route Headers.Andrew Lunn1-0/+2
RFC8754 says: ICMP error packets generated within the SR domain are sent to source nodes within the SR domain. The invoking packet in the ICMP error message may contain an SRH. Since the destination address of a packet with an SRH changes as each segment is processed, it may not be the destination used by the socket or application that generated the invoking packet. For the source of an invoking packet to process the ICMP error message, the ultimate destination address of the IPv6 header may be required. The following logic is used to determine the destination address for use by protocol-error handlers. * Walk all extension headers of the invoking IPv6 packet to the routing extension header preceding the upper-layer header. - If routing header is type 4 Segment Routing Header (SRH) o The SID at Segment List[0] may be used as the destination address of the invoking packet. Mangle the skb so the network header points to the invoking packet inside the ICMP packet. The seg6 helpers can then be used on the skb to find any segment routing headers. If found, mark this fact in the IPv6 control block of the skb, and store the offset into the packet of the SRH. Then restore the skb back to its old state.

2021-11-01net: ndisc: introduce ndisc_evict_nocarrier sysctl parameterJames Prestwood1-0/+1
In most situations the neighbor discovery cache should be cleared on a NOCARRIER event which is currently done unconditionally. But for wireless roams the neighbor discovery cache can and should remain intact since the underlying network has not changed. This patch introduces a sysctl option ndisc_evict_nocarrier which can be disabled by a wireless supplicant during a roam. This allows packets to be sent after a roam immediately without having to wait for neighbor discovery. A user reported roughly a 1 second delay after a roam before packets could be sent out (note, on IPv4). This delay was due to the ARP cache being cleared. During testing of this same scenario using IPv6 no delay was noticed, but regardless there is no reason to clear the ndisc cache for wireless roams.

2021-07-21ipv6: ioam: Data plane support for Pre-allocated TraceJustin Iurman1-0/+3
Implement support for processing the IOAM Pre-allocated Trace with IPv6, see [1] and [2]. Introduce a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop TLV option, see IANA [3]. A new per-interface sysctl is introduced. The value is a boolean to accept (=1) or ignore (=0, by default) IPv6 IOAM options on ingress for an interface: - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_enabled Two other sysctls are introduced to define IOAM IDs, represented by an integer. They are respectively per-namespace and per-interface: - net.ipv6.ioam6_id - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id The value of the first one represents the IOAM ID of the node itself (u32; max and default value = U32_MAX>>8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the other represents the IOAM ID of an interface (u16; max and default value = U16_MAX). Each "ioam6_id" sysctl has a "_wide" equivalent: - net.ipv6.ioam6_id_wide - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide The value of the first one represents the wide IOAM ID of the node itself (u64; max and default value = U64_MAX>>8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the other represents the wide IOAM ID of an interface (u32; max and default value = U32_MAX). The use of short and wide equivalents is not exclusive, a deployment could choose to leverage both. For example, net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id (short format) could be an identifier for a physical interface, whereas net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide (wide format) could be an identifier for a logical sub-interface. Documentation about new sysctls is provided at the end of this patchset. Two relativistic hash tables are used: one for IOAM namespaces, the other for IOAM schemas. A namespace can only have a single active schema and a schema can only be attached to a single namespace (1:1 relationship).

2021-02-23net: icmp: pass zeroed opts from icmp{,v6}_ndo_send before sendingJason A. Donenfeld1-1/+0
The icmp{,v6}_send functions make all sorts of use of skb->cb, casting it with IPCB or IP6CB, assuming the skb to have come directly from the inet layer. But when the packet comes from the ndo layer, especially when forwarded, there's no telling what might be in skb->cb at that point. As a result, the icmp sending code risks reading bogus memory contents, which can result in nasty stack overflows such as this one reported by a user: panic+0x108/0x2ea __stack_chk_fail+0x14/0x20 __icmp_send+0x5bd/0x5c0 icmp_ndo_send+0x148/0x160 In icmp_send, skb->cb is cast with IPCB and an ip_options struct is read from it. The optlen parameter there is of particular note, as it can induce writes beyond bounds. There are quite a few ways that can happen in __ip_options_echo. For example: // sptr/skb are attacker-controlled skb bytes sptr = skb_network_header(skb); // dptr/dopt points to stack memory allocated by __icmp_send dptr = dopt->__data; // sopt is the corrupt skb->cb in question if (sopt->rr) { optlen = sptr[sopt->rr+1]; // corrupt skb->cb + skb->data soffset = sptr[sopt->rr+2]; // corrupt skb->cb + skb->data // this now writes potentially attacker-controlled data, over // flowing the stack: memcpy(dptr, sptr+sopt->rr, optlen); } In the icmpv6_send case, the story is similar, but not as dire, as only IP6CB(skb)->iif and IP6CB(skb)->dsthao are used. The dsthao case is worse than the iif case, but it is passed to ipv6_find_tlv, which does a bit of bounds checking on the value. This is easy to simulate by doing a `memset(skb->cb, 0x41, sizeof(skb->cb));` before calling icmp{,v6}_ndo_send, and it's only by good fortune and the rarity of icmp sending from that context that we've avoided reports like this until now. For example, in KASAN: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo+0xa0e/0x12b0 Write of size 38 at addr ffff888006f1f80e by task ping/89 CPU: 2 PID: 89 Comm: ping Not tainted 5.10.0-rc7-debug+ #5 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x9a/0xcc print_address_description.constprop.0+0x1a/0x160 __kasan_report.cold+0x20/0x38 kasan_report+0x32/0x40 check_memory_region+0x145/0x1a0 memcpy+0x39/0x60 __ip_options_echo+0xa0e/0x12b0 __icmp_send+0x744/0x1700 Actually, out of the 4 drivers that do this, only gtp zeroed the cb for the v4 case, while the rest did not. So this commit actually removes the gtp-specific zeroing, while putting the code where it belongs in the shared infrastructure of icmp{,v6}_ndo_send. This commit fixes the issue by passing an empty IPCB or IP6CB along to the functions that actually do the work. For the icmp_send, this was already trivial, thanks to __icmp_send providing the plumbing function. For icmpv6_send, this required a tiny bit of refactoring to make it behave like the v4 case, after which it was straight forward.

2021-01-26net: allow user to set metric on default route learned via Router AdvertisementPraveen Chaudhary1-0/+1
For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used. Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6 similar to IPv4.

2019-01-22bridge: simplify ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() callsLinus Lüssing1-0/+6
This patch refactors ip_mc_check_igmp(), ipv6_mc_check_mld() and their callers (more precisely, the Linux bridge) to not rely on the skb_trimmed parameter anymore. An skb with its tail trimmed to the IP packet length was initially introduced for the following three reasons: 1) To be able to verify the ICMPv6 checksum. 2) To be able to distinguish the version of an IGMP or MLD query. They are distinguishable only by their size. 3) To avoid parsing data for an IGMPv3 or MLDv2 report that is beyond the IP packet but still within the skb. The first case still uses a cloned and potentially trimmed skb to verfiy. However, there is no need to propagate it to the caller. For the second and third case explicit IP packet length checks were added. This hopefully makes ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() easier to read and verfiy, as well as easier to use.
