2008-01-25IPoIB: improve IPv4/IPv6 to IB mcast mapping functionsRolf Manderscheid
An IPoIB subnet on an IB fabric that spans multiple IB subnets can't use link-local scope in multicast GIDs. The existing routines that map IP/IPv6 multicast addresses into IB link-level addresses hard-code the scope to link-local, and they also leave the partition key field uninitialised. This patch adds a parameter (the link-level broadcast address) to the mapping routines, allowing them to initialise both the scope and the P_Key appropriately, and fixes up the call sites. The next step will be to add a way to configure the scope for an IPoIB interface. Signed-off-by: Rolf Manderscheid <rvm@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

2007-10-10[IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support)Pierre Ynard
As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but support to control which options are exported could be easily added. A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by new use cases.

2007-10-10[IPV6]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293) [rev 2]David L Stevens
Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type. These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6. It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from radvd, etc). Changes: 1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib 2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib 3) modify existing counters to use these 4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types listed by number for easy SNMP parsing 5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data from new counters. [new to 2nd revision] 6) support per-interface ICMP stats 7) use common macro for per-device stat macros Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-08[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast addressBrian Haley
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in ndisc_redirect_rcv(): if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 8.1: - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's implied. This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore. The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux passes all 245 tests now.

Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address Detection process.

2007-01-30[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()Li Yewang
When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication. But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as following: Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination Address field. Otherwise the target is a better first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the router's link-local address so that hosts can uniquely identify routers. According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target address correctly. There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461: 8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does not satisfy all of the following validity checks: ...... - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). ...... And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented this definition, checks the target address correctly. if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address also.
