net: vrf: Fix crash when IPv6 is disabled at boot time

The problem above is due to the fact that the fib hash table is not allocated when IPv6 is disabled at boot. As for the VRF driver it should not do any IPv6 initializations if IPv6 is disabled, so it needs to know if IPv6 is disabled at boot. The disable parameter is private to the IPv6 module, so provide an accessor for modules to determine if IPv6 was disabled at boot time.

net: l3mdev: Add hook in ip and ipv6

2016-05-11T23:31:40Z

Currently the VRF driver uses the rx_handler to switch the skb device to the VRF device. Switching the dev prior to the ip / ipv6 layer means the VRF driver has to duplicate IP/IPv6 processing which adds overhead and makes features such as retaining the ingress device index more complicated than necessary. This patch moves the hook to the L3 layer just after the first NF_HOOK for PRE_ROUTING. This location makes exposing the original ingress device trivial (next patch) and allows adding other NF_HOOKs to the VRF driver in the future. dev_queue_xmit_nit is exported so that the VRF driver can cycle the skb with the switched device through the packet taps to maintain current behavior (tcpdump can be used on either the vrf device or the enslaved devices).

net/ipv6/addrconf: simplify sysctl registration

2016-04-20T00:13:19Z

Struct ctl_table_header holds pointer to sysctl table which could be used for freeing it after unregistration. IPv4 sysctls already use that. Remove redundant NULL assignment: ndev allocated using kzalloc. This also saves some bytes: sysctl table could be shorter than DEVCONF_MAX+1 if some options are disable in config.

net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional

2016-02-26T02:45:15Z

Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured down, including global, static addresses: $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000 inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip link set dev eth1 down $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 << nothing; all addresses have been flushed>> Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1 or $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1 Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down. $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000 inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip link set dev eth1 down $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: mtu 1500 state DOWN qlen 1000 inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global tentative valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link tentative valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: add option to drop unsolicited neighbor advertisements

2016-02-11T09:27:36Z

In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be NA proxies that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests. To prevent unsolicitd advertisements on the shared medium from being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them. Enable this by providing an option called "drop_unsolicited_na".

ipv6: add option to drop unicast encapsulated in L2 multicast

2016-02-11T09:27:36Z

In order to solve a problem with 802.11, the so-called hole-196 attack, add an option (sysctl) called "drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast" which, if enabled, causes the stack to drop IPv6 unicast packets encapsulated in link-layer multi- or broadcast frames. Such frames can (as an attack) be created by any member of the same wireless network and transmitted as valid encrypted frames since the symmetric key for broadcast frames is shared between all stations.

ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt

2015-12-03T04:37:16Z

This patch addresses multiple problems : UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np->opt concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) program desmonstrating use-after-free. Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection to dereference np->opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options()) This patch adds full RCU protection to np->opt Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ipv6 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down

2015-08-14T04:27:19Z

Like the ipv4 patch with a similar title, this adds a sysctl to allow the user to change routing behavior based on whether or not the interface associated with the nexthop was an up or down link. The default setting preserves the current behavior, but anyone that enables it will notice that nexthops on down interfaces will no longer be selected: net.ipv6.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv6.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv6.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, not only will link status be reported to userspace, but an indication that a nexthop is dead and will not be used is also reported. 1000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1 metric 1024 dead linkdown pref medium 1000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1 metric 1024 pref medium 7000::/8 dev p7p1 proto kernel metric 256 dead linkdown pref medium 8000::/8 dev p8p1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 9000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1 metric 2048 pref medium 9000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1 metric 1024 dead linkdown pref medium fe80::/64 dev p7p1 proto kernel metric 256 dead linkdown pref medium fe80::/64 dev p8p1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium This also adds devconf support and notification when sysctl values change. v2: drop use of rt6i_nhflags since it is not needed right now Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek Signed-off-by: Dinesh Dutt Signed-off-by: David S.

net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit

2015-07-30T22:56:40Z

Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface") disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition. RFC 4861, 6.3.4. Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards.
