ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is ready

2016-10-26T15:15:43Z

commit 2c861cc65ef4604011a0082e4dcdba2819aa191a upstream. When loading the ipv6 module, ndisc_init() is called before ip6_route_init(). As the former registers a handler calling fib6_run_gc(), this opens a window to run the garbage collector before necessary data structures are initialized. If a network device is initialized in this window, adding MAC address to it triggers a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event, leading to a crash in fib6_clean_all(). Take the event handler registration out of ndisc_init() into a separate function ndisc_late_init() and move it after ip6_route_init(). Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: Remove neigh argument from ndisc_send_redirect()

2012-01-28T02:00:08Z

Instead, compute it as-needed inside of that function using dst_neigh_lookup(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Create fast inline ipv6 neigh lookup just like ipv4.

2011-12-28T20:41:23Z

Also, create and use an rt6_bind_neighbour() in net/ipv6/route.c to consolidate some common logic. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.

2011-12-28T20:06:58Z

In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers, we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element. Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Kill ndisc_get_neigh() inline helper.

2011-12-03T23:29:30Z

It's only used in net/ipv6/route.c and the NULL device check is superfluous for all of the existing call sites. Just expand the __ndisc_lookup_errno() call at each location. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Remove KERNEL cpp checks from include/net

2011-04-24T17:54:56Z

These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any __KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous. Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility sources and try to use them there. If they insist on doing so, the onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.

inet: constify ip headers and in6_addr

2011-04-22T18:04:14Z

Add const qualifiers to structs iphdr, ipv6hdr and in6_addr pointers where possible, to make code intention more obvious. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: kill unused macros from head file

2010-12-02T21:27:33Z

These macros have been defined for several years since v2.6.12-rc2（tracing by git）, but never be used. So remove them. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use __packed annotation

2010-06-03T10:21:52Z

cleanup patch. Use new __packed annotation in net/ and include/ (except netfilter) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04Z

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.
