route: Remove redirect_genid

2012-03-08T08:30:32+00:00

As we invalidate the inetpeer tree along with the routing cache now,
we don't need a genid to reset the redirect handling when the routing
cache is flushed.

inetpeer: Invalidate the inetpeer tree along with the routing cache

2012-03-08T08:30:24+00:00

We initialize the routing metrics with the values cached on the
inetpeer in rt_init_metrics(). So if we have the metrics cached on the
inetpeer, we ignore the user configured fib_metrics.

To fix this issue, we replace the old tree with a fresh initialized
inet_peer_base. The old tree is removed later with a delayed work queue.

This is caused by bridge netfilter special dst_entry (fake_rtable), a
special shared entry, where attaching an inetpeer makes no sense.

Problem is present since commit 87c48fa3b46 (ipv6: make fragment
identifications less predictable)

Introduce DST_NOPEER dst flag and make sure ipv6_select_ident() and
__ip_select_ident() fallback to the 'no peer attached' handling.

ipv4: reintroduce route cache garbage collector

2011-12-21T20:47:16+00:00

Commit 2c8cec5c10b (ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer)
removed IP route cache garbage collector a bit too soon, as this gc was
responsible for expired routes cleanup, releasing their neighbour
reference.

As pointed out by Robert Gladewitz, recent kernels can fill and exhaust
their neighbour cache.

Reintroduce the garbage collection, since we'll have to wait our
neighbour lookups become refcount-less to not depend on this stuff.

ipv4: Fix peer validation on cached lookup.

2011-12-05T18:21:42+00:00

If ipv4_valdiate_peer() fails during a cached entry lookup,
we'll NULL derer since the loop iterator assumes rth is not
NULL.

Letting this be handled as a failure is just bogus, so just make it
not fail.  If we have trouble getting a non-NULL neighbour for the
redirected gateway, just restore the original gateway and continue.

The very next use of this cached route will try again.

ipv4: make sure RTO_ONLINK is saved in routing cache

2011-12-03T06:32:23+00:00

__mkroute_output fails to work with the original tos
and uses value with stripped RTO_ONLINK bit. Make sure we put
the original TOS bits into rt_key_tos because it used to match
cached route.
