net: ignore sysctl_devconf_inherit_init_net without SYSCTL

2019-03-04T21:14:34Z

When CONFIG_SYSCTL is turned off, we get a link failure for the newly introduced tuning knob. net/ipv6/addrconf.o: In function `addrconf_init_net': addrconf.c:(.text+0x31dc): undefined reference to `sysctl_devconf_inherit_init_net' Add an IS_ENABLED() check to fall back to the default behavior (sysctl_devconf_inherit_init_net=0) here.

The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping changes. However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex. On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory leaks. Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding the rtnl-ness support. What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to implement the race fix slightly differently. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fix IPv6 prefix route residue

2019-02-12T04:36:50Z

Follow those steps: # ip addr add 2001:123::1/32 dev eth0 # ip addr add 2001:123:456::2/64 dev eth0 # ip addr del 2001:123::1/32 dev eth0 # ip addr del 2001:123:456::2/64 dev eth0 and then prefix route of 2001:123::1/32 will still exist. This is because ipv6_prefix_equal in check_cleanup_prefix_route func does not check whether two IPv6 addresses have the same prefix length. If the prefix of one address starts with another shorter address prefix, even though their prefix lengths are different, the return value of ipv6_prefix_equal is true. Here I add a check of whether two addresses have the same prefix to decide whether their prefixes are equal.

net/ipv6: lower the level of "link is not ready" messages

2019-01-23T04:42:39Z

This message gets logged far too often for how interesting is it. Most distributions nowadays configure NetworkManager to use randomly generated MAC addresses for Wi-Fi network scans. The interfaces end up being periodically brought down for the address change. When they're subsequently brought back up, the message is logged, eventually flooding the log. Perhaps the message is not all that helpful: it seems to be more interesting to hear when the addrconf actually start, not when it does not. Let's lower its level.

net/ipv6: don't return positive numbers when nothing was dumped

2019-01-23T01:24:18Z

in6_dump_addrs() returns a positive 1 if there was nothing to dump. This return value can not be passed as return from inet6_dump_addr() as is, because it will confuse rtnetlink, resulting in NLMSG_DONE never getting set: $ ip addr list dev lo EOF on netlink Dump terminated v2: flip condition to avoid a new goto (DaveA) Fixes: 7c1e8a3817c5 ("netlink: fixup regression in RTM_GETADDR") Reported-by: Brendan Galloway Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: David Ahern Tested-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.

net: introduce a knob to control whether to inherit devconf config

2019-01-22T19:07:21Z

There have been many people complaining about the inconsistent behaviors of IPv4 and IPv6 devconf when creating new network namespaces. Currently, for IPv4, we inherit all current settings from init_net, but for IPv6 we reset all setting to default. This patch introduces a new /proc file /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net to control the behavior of whether to inhert sysctl current settings from init_net. This file itself is only available in init_net. As demonstrated below: Initial setup in init_net: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 2 # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 1 Default value 0 (current behavior): # ip netns del test # ip netns add test # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 2 # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 0 Set to 1 (inherit from init_net): # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net # ip netns del test # ip netns add test # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 2 # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 1 Set to 2 (reset to default): # echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net # ip netns del test # ip netns add test # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 0 # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 0 Set to a value out of range (invalid): # echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo -1 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Reported-by: Zhu Yanjun Reported-by: Tonghao Zhang Cc: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel Acked-by: Tonghao Zhang Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: fixup regression in RTM_GETADDR

2019-01-04T20:47:06Z

This commit fixes a regression in AF_INET/RTM_GETADDR and AF_INET6/RTM_GETADDR. Before this commit, the kernel would stop dumping addresses once the first skb was full and end the stream with NLMSG_DONE(-EMSGSIZE). The error shouldn't be sent back to netlink_dump so the callback is kept alive. The userspace is expected to call back with a new empty skb. Changes from V1: - The error is not handled in netlink_dump anymore but rather in inet_dump_ifaddr and inet6_dump_addr directly as suggested by David Ahern.
