net/ipv6: Add helper to return path MTU based on fib result

2018-05-22T08:51:09Z

Determine path MTU from a FIB lookup result. Logic is based on ip6_dst_mtu_forward plus lookup of nexthop exception. Add ip6_dst_mtu_forward to ipv6_stubs to handle access by core bpf code. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

net/ipv6: Add fib lookup stubs for use in bpf helper

2018-05-10T22:10:57Z

Add stubs to retrieve a handle to an IPv6 FIB table, fib6_get_table, a stub to do a lookup in a specific table, fib6_table_lookup, and a stub for a full route lookup. The stubs are needed for core bpf code to handle the case when the IPv6 module is not builtin. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

net: ipv6: Make inet6addr_validator a blocking notifier

2017-10-20T12:15:07Z

inet6addr_validator chain was added by commit 3ad7d2468f79f ("Ipvlan should return an error when an address is already in use") to allow address validation before changes are committed and to be able to fail the address change with an error back to the user. The address validation is not done for addresses received from router advertisements. Handling RAs in softirq context is the only reason for the notifier chain to be atomic versus blocking. Since the only current user, ipvlan, of the validator chain ignores softirq context, the notifier can be made blocking and simply not invoked for softirq path. The blocking option is needed by spectrum for example to validate resources for an adding an address to an interface. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S.

Ipvlan should return an error when an address is already in use.

2017-06-09T16:26:07Z

The ipvlan code already knows how to detect when a duplicate address is about to be assigned to an ipvlan device. However, that failure is not propogated outward and leads to a silent failure. Introduce a validation step at ip address creation time and allow device drivers to register to validate the incoming ip addresses. The ipvlan code is the first consumer. If it detects an address in use, we can return an error to the user before beginning to commit the new ifa in the networking code. This can be especially useful if it is necessary to provision many ipvlans in containers. The provisioning software (or operator) can use this to detect situations where an ip address is unexpectedly in use. Signed-off-by: Krister Johansen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: change ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup to take net argument

2015-07-31T22:21:30Z

This patch adds net argument to ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup for use cases where sk is not available (like mpls). sk appears to be needed to get the namespace 'net' and is optional otherwise. This patch series changes ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup to take net argument. sk remains optional. All callers of ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup have been modified to pass net. I have modified them to use already available 'net' in the scope of the call. I can change them to sock_net(sk) to avoid any unintended change in behaviour if sock namespace is different. They dont seem to be from code inspection. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: fix possible use after free of dev stats

2015-06-08T19:12:45Z

The memory pointed to by idev->stats.icmpv6msgdev, idev->stats.icmpv6dev and idev->stats.ipv6 can each be used in an RCU read context without taking a reference on idev. For example, through IP6_*_STATS_* calls in ip6_rcv. These memory blocks are freed without waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse. This could lead to the memory being written to after it has been freed. Fix this by using call_rcu to free the memory used for stats, as well as idev after an RCU grace period has elapsed.

ipv6: coding style: comparison for inequality with NULL

2015-03-31T17:51:54Z

The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter form. No changes detected by objdiff. Signed-off-by: Ian Morris Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: remove rt6i_genid

2014-09-30T18:00:48Z

Eric Dumazet noticed that all no-nonexthop or no-gateway routes which are already marked DST_HOST (e.g. input routes routes) will always be invalidated during sk_dst_check. Thus per-socket dst caching absolutely had no effect and early demuxing had no effect. Thus this patch removes rt6i_genid: fn_sernum already gets modified during add operations, so we only must ensure we mutate fn_sernum during ipv6 address remove operations. This is a fairly cost extensive operations, but address removal should not happen that often. Also our mtu update functions do the same and we heard no complains so far. xfrm policy changes also cause a call into fib6_flush_trees. Also plug a hole in rt6_info (no cacheline changes). I verified via tracing that this change has effect.

net: clean up snmp stats code

2014-05-07T20:06:05Z

commit 8f0ea0fe3a036a47767f9c80e (snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%) reduced snmp array size to 1, so technically it doesn't have to be an array any more. What's more, after the following commit: commit 933393f58fef9963eac61db8093689544e29a600 Date: Thu Dec 22 11:58:51 2011 -0600 percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86 and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption. probably no arch wants to have SNMP_ARRAY_SZ == 2. At least after almost 3 years, no one complains. So, just convert the array to a single pointer and remove snmp_mib_init() and snmp_mib_free() as well.
