ipv6: do retries on stable privacy addresses

2015-03-24T02:12:09Z

If a DAD conflict is detected, we want to retry privacy stable address generation up to idgen_retries (= 3) times with a delay of idgen_delay (= 1 second). Add the logic to addrconf_dad_failure. By design, we don't clean up dad failed permanent addresses.

ipv6: addrconf: implement address generation modes

2014-07-11T22:05:45Z

This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up, monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it. One more use-case by Dan Williams: WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND. The kernel cannot generate the correct LL address for two reasons: 1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address, or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware. Thus the EUI64 and the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong. The real LL address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary commands. 2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from kernel assignments. Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL address of the PPP interface and its peer. But the kernel has already assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface. So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue

2014-03-28T20:54:50Z

addrconf_join_solict and addrconf_join_anycast may cause actions which need rtnl locked, especially on first address creation. A new DAD state is introduced which defers processing of the initial DAD processing into a workqueue. To get rtnl lock we need to push the code paths which depend on those calls up to workqueues, specifically addrconf_verify and the DAD processing. (v2) addrconf_dad_failure needs to be queued up to the workqueue, too. This patch introduces a new DAD state and stop the DAD processing in the workqueue (this is because of the possible ipv6_del_addr processing which removes the solicited multicast address from the device). addrconf_verify_lock is removed, too. After the transition it is not needed any more. As we are not processing in bottom half anymore we need to be a bit more careful about disabling bottom half out when we lock spin_locks which are also used in bh.

ipv6: simplify detection of first operational link-local address on interface

2014-01-18T02:10:01Z

In commit 1ec047eb4751e3 ("ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addresses") I build the detection of the first operational link-local address much to complex. Additionally this code now has a race condition. Replace it with a much simpler variant, which just scans the address list when duplicate address detection completes, to check if this is the first valid link local address and send RS and MLD reports then.
