net/ipv4: Add support for specifying metric of connected routes

2018-05-29T14:12:45+00:00

Add support for IFA_RT_PRIORITY to ipv4 addresses.

If the metric is changed on an existing address then the new route
is inserted before removing the old one. Since the metric is one
of the route keys, the prefix route can not be replaced.

ipv4: Get the address of interface correctly.

2018-01-29T19:32:31+00:00

When using ioctl to get address of interface, we can't
get it anymore. For example, the command is show as below.

	# ifconfig eth0

In the patch ("03aef17bb79b3"), the devinet_ioctl does not
return a suitable value, even though we can find it in
the kernel. Then fix it now.

net: separate SIOCGIFCONF handling from dev_ioctl()

2018-01-25T00:13:45+00:00

Only two of dev_ioctl() callers may pass SIOCGIFCONF to it.
Separating that codepath from the rest of dev_ioctl() allows both
to simplify dev_ioctl() itself (all other cases work with struct ifreq *)
*and* seriously simplify the compat side of that beast: all it takes
is passing to inet_gifconf() an extra argument - the size of individual
records (sizeof(struct ifreq) or sizeof(struct compat_ifreq)).  With
dev_ifconf() called directly from sock_do_ioctl()/compat_dev_ifconf()
that's easy to arrange.

As the result, compat side of SIOCGIFCONF doesn't need any
allocations, copy_in_user() back and forth, etc.

ipv4: igmp: guard against silly MTU values

2017-12-13T18:13:58+00:00

IPv4 stack reacts to changes to small MTU, by disabling itself under
RTNL.

But there is a window where threads not using RTNL can see a wrong
device mtu. This can lead to surprises, in igmp code where it is
assumed the mtu is suitable.

Fix this by reading device mtu once and checking IPv4 minimal MTU.

This patch adds missing IPV4_MIN_MTU define, to not abuse
ETH_MIN_MTU anymore.

net: Add extack to validator_info structs used for address notifier

2017-10-20T12:15:07+00:00

Add extack to in_validator_info and in6_validator_info. Update the one
user of each, ipvlan, to return an error message for failures.

Only manual configuration of an address is plumbed in the IPv6 code path.

ipv4: mark expected switch fall-throughs

2017-10-18T13:10:29+00:00

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases
where we are expecting to fall through.

Notice that in some cases I placed the "fall through" comment
on its own line, which is what GCC is expecting to find.

net: core: rcu-ify rtnl af_ops

2017-10-16T20:26:40+00:00

rtnl af_ops currently rely on rtnl mutex: unregister (called from module
exit functions) takes the rtnl mutex and all users that do af_ops lookup
also take the rtnl mutex. IOW, parallel rmmod will block until doit()
callback is done.

As none of the af_ops implementation sleep we can use rcu instead.

doit functions that need the af_ops can now use rcu instead of the
rtnl mutex provided the mutex isn't needed for other reasons.

net: avoid a full fib lookup when rp_filter is disabled.

2017-09-21T22:15:22+00:00

Since commit 1dced6a85482 ("ipv4: Restore accept_local behaviour
in fib_validate_source()") a full fib lookup is needed even if
the rp_filter is disabled, if accept_local is false - which is
the default.

What we really need in the above scenario is just checking
that the source IP address is not local, and in most case we
can do that is a cheaper way looking up the ifaddr hash table.

This commit adds a helper for such lookup, and uses it to
validate the src address when rp_filter is disabled and no
'local' routes are created by the user space in the relevant
namespace.

A new ipv4 netns flag is added to account for such routes.
We need that to preserve the same behavior we had before this
patch.

It also drops the checks to bail early from __fib_validate_source,
added by the commit 1dced6a85482 ("ipv4: Restore accept_local
behaviour in fib_validate_source()") they do not give any
measurable performance improvement: if we do the lookup with are
on a slower path.

This improves UDP performances for unconnected sockets
when rp_filter is disabled by 5% and also gives small but
measurable performance improvement for TCP flood scenarios.

v1 -> v2:
 - use the ifaddr lookup helper in __ip_dev_find(), as suggested
   by Eric
 - fall-back to full lookup if custom local routes are present

rtnetlink: make rtnl_register accept a flags parameter

2017-08-09T23:57:38+00:00

This change allows us to later indicate to rtnetlink core that certain
doit functions should be called without acquiring rtnl_mutex.

This change should have no effect, we simply replace the last (now
unused) calcit argument with the new flag.
