ipv6: fill rt6i_gateway with nexthop address

2013-11-04T12:35:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 550bab42f83308c9d6ab04a980cc4333cef1c8fa ]

Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in
all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly
attached to skb for generated ICMP packets.

The effect of this patch should be a faster version of
rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as
nexthop.

ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present

2013-11-04T12:35:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 96dc809514fb2328605198a0602b67554d8cce7b ]

In v3.9 6fd6ce2056de2709 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in
ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2()
such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used
instead of an assigned neighbor.

As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed
routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and
RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing
compared to the destination address.

Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC
route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway
in rt6_nexthop().

Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if
present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is
not wrongly diverted to the destination address.

Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the
problematic commit.

Thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa for his review and help in testing.

net: fix cipso packet validation when !NETLABEL

2013-11-04T12:35:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit f2e5ddcc0d12f9c4c7b254358ad245c9dddce13b ]

When CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, the cipso_v4_validate() function could loop
forever in the main loop if opt[opt_iter +1] == 0, this will causing a kernel
crash in an SMP system, since the CPU executing this function will
stall /not respond to IPIs.

This problem can be reproduced by running the IP Stack Integrity Checker
(http://isic.sourceforge.net) using the following command on a Linux machine
connected to DUT:

"icmpsic -s rand -d  -r 123456"
wait (1-2 min)

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

2013-11-04T12:35:11+00:00

[ Upstream commits 6d36824e730f247b602c90e8715a792003e3c5a7,
  02cf4ebd82ff0ac7254b88e466820a290ed8289a, and parts of
  7eec4174ff29cd42f2acfae8112f51c228545d40 ]

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs

Bluetooth: Introduce a new HCI_RFKILLED flag

commit 5e130367d43ff22836bbae380d197d600fe8ddbb upstream.

This makes it more convenient to check for rfkill (no need to check for
dev->rfkill before calling rfkill_blocked()) and also avoids potential
races if the RFKILL state needs to be checked from within the rfkill
callback.

IPv6 NAT: Do not drop DNATed 6to4/6rd packets

2013-10-14T01:14:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7df37ff33dc122f7bd0614d707939fe84322d264 ]

When a router is doing DNAT for 6to4/6rd packets the latest
anti-spoofing commit 218774dc ("ipv6: add anti-spoofing checks for
6to4 and 6rd") will drop them because the IPv6 address embedded does
not match the IPv4 destination. This patch will allow them to pass by
testing if we have an address that matches on 6to4/6rd interface.  I
have been hit by this problem using Fedora and IPV6TO4_IPV4ADDR.
Also, log the dropped packets (with rate limit).

ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed

2013-10-14T01:14:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 703133de331a7a7df47f31fb9de51dc6f68a9de8 ]

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.

For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.

Steffen Klassert says:

====================
This pull request fixes some issues that arise when 6in4 or 4in6 tunnels
are used in combination with IPsec, all from Hannes Frederic Sowa and a
null pointer dereference when queueing packets to the policy hold queue.

1) We might access the local error handler of the wrong address family if
   6in4 or 4in6 tunnel is protected by ipsec. Fix this by addind a pointer
   to the correct local_error to xfrm_state_afinet.

2) Add a helper function to always refer to the correct interpretation
   of skb->sk.

3) Call skb_reset_inner_headers to record the position of the inner headers
   when adding a new one in various ipv6 tunnels. This is needed to identify
   the addresses where to send back errors in the xfrm layer.

4) Dereference inner ipv6 header if encapsulated to always call the
   right error handler.

5) Choose protocol family by skb protocol to not call the wrong
   xfrm{4,6}_local_error handler in case an ipv6 sockets is used
   in ipv4 mode.

6) Partly revert "xfrm: introduce helper for safe determination of mtu"
   because this introduced pmtu discovery problems.

7) Set skb->protocol on tcp, raw and ip6_append_data genereated skbs.
   We need this to get the correct mtu informations in xfrm.

8) Fix null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output.
