net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit

2016-03-02T15:29:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8013d1d7eafb0589ca766db6b74026f76b7f5cb4 ]

Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.

ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt

2016-01-05T15:11:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 45f6fad84cc305103b28d73482b344d7f5b76f39 ]

This patch addresses multiple problems :

UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions
while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np->opt
concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller
(http://github.com/google/syzkaller) program desmonstrating
use-after-free.

Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection
to dereference np->opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options())

This patch adds full RCU protection to np->opt

ipv6: drop fragmented ndisc packets by default (RFC 6980)

2013-08-29T19:32:08+00:00

This patch implements RFC6980: Drop fragmented ndisc packets by
default. If a fragmented ndisc packet is received the user is informed
that it is possible to disable the check.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c
	include/linux/inetdevice.h

The inetdevice.h conflict involves moving the IPV4_DEVCONF values
into a UAPI header, overlapping additions of some new entries.

The iwlwifi conflict is a context overlap.

ipv6: drop packets with multiple fragmentation headers

2013-08-20T07:11:24+00:00

It is not allowed for an ipv6 packet to contain multiple fragmentation
headers. So discard packets which were already reassembled by
fragmentation logic and send back a parameter problem icmp.

The updates for RFC 6980 will come in later, I have to do a bit more
research here.

ipv6: make unsolicited report intervals configurable for mld

2013-08-14T00:05:04+00:00

Commit cab70040dfd95ee32144f02fade64f0cb94f31a0 ("net: igmp:
Reduce Unsolicited report interval to 1s when using IGMPv3") and
2690048c01f32bf45d1c1e1ab3079bc10ad2aea7 ("net: igmp: Allow user-space
configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval") by William Manley made
igmp unsolicited report intervals configurable per interface and corrected
the interval of unsolicited igmpv3 report messages resendings to 1s.

Same needs to be done for IPv6:

MLDv1 (RFC2710 7.10.): 10 seconds
MLDv2 (RFC3810 9.11.): 1 second

Both intervals are configurable via new procfs knobs
mldv1_unsolicited_report_interval and mldv2_unsolicited_report_interval.

(also added .force_mld_version to ipv6_devconf_dflt to bring structs in
line without semantic changes)

v2:
a) Joined documentation update for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD/IGMP
   unsolicited_report_interval procfs knobs.
b) incorporate stylistic feedback from William Manley

v3:
a) add new DEVCONF_* values to the end of the enum (thanks to David
   Miller)

ipv6: Store Router Alert option in IP6CB directly.

ipv6: Use ipv6_get_dsfield() instead of ipv6_tclass().

2013-01-14T01:17:14+00:00

Commit 7a3198a8 ("ipv6: helper function to get tclass") introduced
ipv6_tclass(), but similar function is already available as
ipv6_get_dsfield().

We might be able to call ipv6_tclass() from ipv6_get_dsfield(),
but it is confusing to have two versions.

net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulation

2012-12-09T05:20:28+00:00

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx
checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE).

For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits
in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the
skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will
use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware.

For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the
skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up
to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol
driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the
protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.
