net/ipv4: remove left over dead code

2016-03-02T20:00:55+00:00

8cc785f6f429c2a3fb81745dc142cbd72a462c4a ("net: ipv4: make the ping
/proc code AF-independent") removed the code using it, but renamed this
variable instead of removing it.

ipv4: fix memory leaks in ip_cmsg_send() callers

2016-02-13T10:57:39+00:00

Dmitry reported memory leaks of IP options allocated in
ip_cmsg_send() when/if this function returns an error.

Callers are responsible for the freeing.

Many thanks to Dmitry for the report and diagnostic.

sock: struct proto hash function may error

2016-02-11T08:54:14+00:00

In order to support fast reuseport lookups in TCP, the hash function
defined in struct proto must be capable of returning an error code.
This patch changes the function signature of all related hash functions
to return an integer and handles or propagates this return value at
all call sites.

ipv6: Nonlocal bind

2015-07-10T04:09:10+00:00

Add support to allow non-local binds similar to how this was done for IPv4.
Non-local binds are very useful in emulating the Internet in a box, etc.

This add the ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl under ipv6.

Testing:

Set up nonlocal binding and receive routing on a host, e.g.:

ip -6 rule add from ::/0 iif eth0 lookup 200
ip -6 route add local 2001:0:0:1::/64 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 200
sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1

Set up routing to 2001:0:0:1::/64 on peer to go to first host

ping6 -I 2001:0:0:1::1 peer-address -- to verify

ipv4: Missing sk_nulls_node_init() in ping_unhash().

2015-05-02T02:02:47+00:00

If we don't do that, then the poison value is left in the ->pprev
backlink.

This can cause crashes if we do a disconnect, followed by a connect().

ipv4: coding style: comparison for inequality with NULL

2015-04-03T16:11:15+00:00

The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check
for non-NULL pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is
preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code
consistent by adopting the latter form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check
for NULL pointer is done as x == NULL and sometimes as !x. !x is

which objects are not written in a function.
