ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()

2017-06-13T13:29:21Z

[ Upstream commit 2f460933f58eee3393aba64f0f6d14acb08d1724 ] Andrey reported a crash on init_net.ipv6.ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev since it is always NULL. This is clearly wrong, we have code to initialize it to loopback_dev, unfortunately the order is still not correct. loopback_dev is registered very early during boot, we lose a chance to re-initialize it in notifier. addrconf_init() is called after ip6_route_init(), which means we have no chance to correct it. Fix it by moving this initialization explicitly after ipv6_add_dev(init_net.loopback_dev) in addrconf_init().

ipv6: enforce flowi6_oif usage in ip6_dst_lookup_tail()

2016-03-04T15:25:47Z

[ Upstream commit 6f21c96a78b835259546d8f3fb4edff0f651d478 ] The current implementation of ip6_dst_lookup_tail basically ignore the egress ifindex match: if the saddr is set, ip6_route_output() purposefully ignores flowi6_oif, due to the commit d46a9d678e4c ("net: ipv6: Dont add RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag if saddr set"), if the saddr is 'any' the first route lookup in ip6_dst_lookup_tail fails, but upon failure a second lookup will be performed with saddr set, thus ignoring the ifindex constraint. This commit adds an output route lookup function variant, which allows the caller to specify lookup flags, and modify ip6_dst_lookup_tail() to enforce the ifindex match on the second lookup via said helper. ip6_route_output() becames now a static inline function build on top of ip6_route_output_flags(); as a side effect, out-of-tree modules need now a GPL license to access the output route lookup functionality.

netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().

2015-04-07T19:25:55Z

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that generated the frame. And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP. We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting. The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4 socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack

2015-04-06T20:12:49Z

We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process. ipv6 does not conform with this in three places: 1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size 2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should loop the packet back to the local socket 3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and force a wrong MTU Furthermore: In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device. Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting tunnel devices. Cc: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The xfrm6_output.c has a bug fix which overlaps the renaming of skb->local_df to skb->ignore_df. In the Altera TSE driver cases, the register access cleanups in net-next overlapped with bug fixes done in net. Similarly a bug fix to send ALB packets in the bonding driver using the right source address overlaps with cleanups in net-next. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: update Destination Cache entries when gateway turn into host

2014-05-16T03:26:27Z

RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5: The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the Router flag in the received advertisement. In those cases where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as specified in Section 7.3.3. This is needed to detect when a node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to being configured as a host. Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List, and don't update the Destination Cache entries. Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce function rt6_clean_tohost(). Signed-off-by: Duan Jiong Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rename local_df to ignore_df

As suggested by several people, rename local_df to ignore_df, since it means "ignore df bit if it is set". Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski Cc: Florian Westphal Cc: David S. Miller Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Acked-by: Maciej Żenczykowski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Limit mtu to 65575 bytes

2014-04-14T16:39:59Z

Francois reported that setting big mtu on loopback device could prevent tcp sessions making progress. We do not support (yet ?) IPv6 Jumbograms and cook corrupted packets. We must limit the IPv6 MTU to (65535 + 40) bytes in theory.

ipv6: yet another new IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER option IPV6_PMTUDISC_OMIT

2014-02-26T20:51:01Z

This option has the same semantic as IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT for IPv4 which got recently introduced. It doesn't honor the path mtu discovered by the host but in contrary to IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE allows the generation of fragments if the packet size exceeds the MTU of the outgoing interface MTU.
