ndisc.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:39+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is ready

2013-09-11T21:04:09+00:00

When loading the ipv6 module, ndisc_init() is called before
ip6_route_init(). As the former registers a handler calling
fib6_run_gc(), this opens a window to run the garbage collector
before necessary data structures are initialized. If a network
device is initialized in this window, adding MAC address to it
triggers a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event, leading to a crash in
fib6_clean_all().

Take the event handler registration out of ndisc_init() into a
separate function ndisc_late_init() and move it after
ip6_route_init().

ndisc: Convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-20T06:18:07+00:00

This typedef is unnecessary and should just be removed.

ndisc: Move ndisc_opt_addr_space() to include/net/ndisc.h.

2013-01-21T18:33:14+00:00

This also makes ndisc_opt_addr_data() and ndisc_fill_addr_option()
use ndisc_opt_addr_space().

ndisc: Introduce __ipv6_neigh_lookup_noref().

2013-01-17T23:38:18+00:00

This function, which looks up neighbour entry for an IPv6 address
without touching refcnt, will be used for patches to remove
dependency on rt->n (neighbour entry in rt6_info).

ndisc: Remove tbl argument for __ipv6_neigh_lookup().

2013-01-17T23:38:18+00:00

We can refer to nd_tbl directly.

ipv6: Change skb->data before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect

2012-12-14T18:14:07+00:00

In function ndisc_redirect_rcv(), the skb->data points to the transport
header, but function icmpv6_notify() need the skb->data points to the
inner IP packet. So before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect,
change skb->data to point the inner IP packet that triggered the sending
of the Redirect, and introduce struct rd_msg to make it easy.
