net: vrf: Fix dst reference counting

2016-04-11T19:56:20+00:00

Vivek reported a kernel exception deleting a VRF with an active
connection through it. The root cause is that the socket has a cached
reference to a dst that is destroyed. Converting the dst_destroy to
dst_release and letting proper reference counting kick in does not
work as the dst has a reference to the device which needs to be released
as well.

I talked to Hannes about this at netdev and he pointed out the ipv4 and
ipv6 dst handling has dst_ifdown for just this scenario. Rather than
continuing with the reinvented dst wheel in VRF just remove it and
leverage the ipv4 and ipv6 versions.

Several cases of overlapping changes, as well as one instance
(vxlan) of a bug fix in 'net' overlapping with code movement
in 'net-next'.

net: vrf: Remove direct access to skb->data

2016-02-25T20:34:26+00:00

Nik pointed that the VRF driver should be using skb_header_pointer
instead of accessing skb->data and bits beyond directly which can
be garbage.

net: Add support for fill_slave_info to VRF device

2016-02-07T19:02:22+00:00

Allows userspace to have direct access to VRF table association
versus looking up master device and its table.

net: Propagate lookup failure in l3mdev_get_saddr to caller

2016-01-05T03:58:30+00:00

Commands run in a vrf context are not failing as expected on a route lookup:
    root@kenny:~# ip ro ls table vrf-red
    unreachable default

    root@kenny:~# ping -I vrf-red -c1 -w1 10.100.1.254
    ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf-red.
    PING 10.100.1.254 (10.100.1.254) from 0.0.0.0 vrf-red: 56(84) bytes of data.

    --- 10.100.1.254 ping statistics ---
    2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

Since the vrf table does not have a route for 10.100.1.254 the ping
should have failed. The saddr lookup causes a full VRF table lookup.
Propogating a lookup failure to the user allows the command to fail as
expected:

    root@kenny:~# ping -I vrf-red -c1 -w1 10.100.1.254
    connect: No route to host

net: add possibility to pass information about upper device via notifier

2015-12-03T16:49:25+00:00

Sometimes the drivers and other code would find it handy to know some
internal information about upper device being changed. So allow upper-code
to pass information down to notifier listeners during linking.

a parameter of netdev_master_upper_dev_link.
