2008-10-15IPV6: Fix default gateway criteria wrt. HIGH/LOW preference radv optionPedro Ribeiro
Problem observed: In IPv6, in the presence of multiple routers candidates to default gateway in one segment, each sending a different value of preference, the Linux hosts connected to the segment weren't selecting the right one in all the combinations possible of LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH preference. This patch changes two files: include/linux/icmpv6.h Get the "router_pref" bitfield in the right place (as RFC4191 says), named the bit left with this fix as "home_agent" (RFC3775 say that's his function) net/ipv6/ndisc.c Corrects the binary logic behind the updating of the router preference in the flags of the routing table Result: With this two fixes applied, the default route used by the system was to consistent with the rules mentioned in RFC4191 in case of changes in the value of preference in router advertisements Signed-off-by: Pedro Ribeiro <pribeiro@net.ipl.pt> Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-03-24[NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).Pavel Emelyanov
Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine) should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER. This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped and the deleting procedure may proceed. One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too big for -rc4. So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check the flags on alive pneigh entry. Changes from v2: As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony. Changes from v1: Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized by gcc.

2008-03-03[NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameterDaniel Lezcano
The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the expired timer. The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer expires. When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner for the fib6_run_gc callers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network ↵Eric W. Biederman
namespaces I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network namespace of their devices. However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default. So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries for devices of other namespaces. I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good enough for now. I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra filtering in the code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

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>

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.

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.

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>
