fou: fix IPv6 Kconfig options

2016-05-31T21:07:49+00:00

The Kconfig options I added to work around broken compilation ended
up screwing up things more, as I used the wrong symbol to control
compilation of the file, resulting in IPv6 fou support to never be built
into the kernel.

Changing CONFIG_NET_FOU_IPV6_TUNNELS to CONFIG_IPV6_FOU fixes that
problem, I had renamed the symbol in one location but not the other,
and as the file is never being used by other kernel code, this did not
lead to a build failure that I would have caught.

After that fix, another issue with the same patch becomes obvious, as we
'select INET6_TUNNEL', which is related to IPV6_TUNNEL, but not the same,
and this can still cause the original build failure when IPV6_TUNNEL is
not built-in but IPV6_FOU is. The fix is equally trivial, we just need
to select the right symbol.

I have successfully build 350 randconfig kernels with this patch
and verified that the driver is now being built.

fou: add Kconfig options for IPv6 support

2016-05-30T05:24:21+00:00

A previous patch added the fou6.ko module, but that failed to link
in a couple of configurations:

net/built-in.o: In function `ip6_tnl_encap_add_fou_ops':
net/ipv6/fou6.c:88: undefined reference to `ip6_tnl_encap_add_ops'
net/ipv6/fou6.c:94: undefined reference to `ip6_tnl_encap_add_ops'
net/ipv6/fou6.c:97: undefined reference to `ip6_tnl_encap_del_ops'
net/built-in.o: In function `ip6_tnl_encap_del_fou_ops':
net/ipv6/fou6.c:106: undefined reference to `ip6_tnl_encap_del_ops'
net/ipv6/fou6.c:107: undefined reference to `ip6_tnl_encap_del_ops'

If CONFIG_IPV6=m, ip6_tnl_encap_add_ops/ip6_tnl_encap_del_ops
are in a module, but fou6.c can still be built-in, and that
obviously fails to link.

Also, if CONFIG_IPV6=y, but CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL=m or
CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL=n, the same problem happens for a different
reason.

This adds two new silent Kconfig symbols to work around both
problems:

- CONFIG_IPV6_FOU is now always set to 'm' if either CONFIG_NET_FOU=m
  or CONFIG_IPV6=m
- CONFIG_IPV6_FOU_TUNNEL is set implicitly when IPV6_FOU is enabled
  and NET_FOU_IP_TUNNELS is also turned out, and it will ensure
  that CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL is also available.

The options could be made user-visible as well, to give additional
room for configuration, but it seems easier not to bother users
with more choice here.

gre6: add Kconfig dependency for NET_IPGRE_DEMUX

2016-05-04T18:12:36+00:00

The ipv6 gre implementation was cleaned up to share more code
with the ipv4 version, but it can be enabled even when NET_IPGRE_DEMUX
is disabled, resulting in a link error:

net/built-in.o: In function `gre_rcv':
:(.text+0x17f5d0): undefined reference to `gre_parse_header'
ERROR: "gre_parse_header" [net/ipv6/ip6_gre.ko] undefined!

This adds a Kconfig dependency to prevent that now invalid
configuration.

net: replace dst_cache ip6_tunnel implementation with the generic one

2016-02-17T01:21:48+00:00

This also fix a potential race into the existing tunnel code, which
could lead to the wrong dst to be permanenty cached:

CPU1:					CPU2:
  
  
  dst = ip6_route_output(...)
					
					dst_cache_reset() // no effect,
							// the cache is empty
  dst_cache_set() // the wrong dst
	// is permanenty stored
	// into the cache

With the new dst implementation the above race is not possible
since the first cache lookup after dst_cache_reset will fail due
to the timestamp check

ipv4+ipv6: Make INET*_ESP select CRYPTO_ECHAINIV

2016-01-25T18:45:41+00:00

The ESP algorithms using CBC mode require echainiv. Hence INET*_ESP have
to select CRYPTO_ECHAINIV in order to work properly. This solves the
issues caused by a misconfiguration as described in [1].
The original approach, patching crypto/Kconfig was turned down by
Herbert Xu [2].

ila: add NETFILTER dependency

2015-12-18T19:19:28+00:00

The recently added generic ILA translation facility fails to
build when CONFIG_NETFILTER is disabled:

net/ipv6/ila/ila_xlat.c:229:20: warning: 'struct nf_hook_state' declared inside parameter list
net/ipv6/ila/ila_xlat.c:235:27: error: array type has incomplete element type 'struct nf_hook_ops'
 static struct nf_hook_ops ila_nf_hook_ops[] __read_mostly = {

This adds an explicit Kconfig dependency to avoid that case.

net: Identifier Locator Addressing module

2015-08-18T04:33:06+00:00

Adding new module name ila. This implements ILA translation. Light
weight tunnel redirection is used to perform the translation in
the data path. This is configured by the "ip -6 route" command
using the "encap ila " option, where  is the
value to set in destination locator of the packet. e.g.

ip -6 route add 3333:0:0:1:5555:0:1:0/128 \
      encap ila 2001:0:0:1 via 2401:db00:20:911a:face:0:25:0

Sets a route where 3333:0:0:1 will be overwritten by
2001:0:0:1 on output.

net: Build IPv6 into kernel by default

2015-07-13T20:10:21+00:00

This patch makes the default to build IPv6 into the kernel. IPv6
now has significant traction and any remaining vestiges of IPv6
not being provided parity with IPv4 should be swept away. IPv6 is now
core to the Internet and kernel.

Points on IPv6 adoption:

- Per Google statistics, IPv6 usage has reached 7% on the Internet
  and continues to exhibit an exponential growth rate
  https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
- Just a few days ago ARIN officially depleted its IPv4 pool
- IPv6 only data centers are being successfully built
  (e.g. at Facebook)

This patch changes the IPv6 Kconfig for IPV6. Default for CONFIG_IPV6
is set to "y" and the text has been updated to reflect the maturity of
IPv6.

Impact:

Under some circumstances building modules in to kernel might have a
performance advantage. In my testing, I did notice a very slight
improvement.

This will obviously increase the size of the kernel image. In my
configuration I see:

IPv6 as module:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
9703666 1899288  933888 12536842         bf4c0a vmlinux

IPv6 built into kernel

  text     data     bss     dec     hex filename
9436490 1879600  913408 12229498         ba9b7a vmlinux

Which increases text size by ~270K (2.8% increase in size for me). If
image size is an issue, presumably for a device which does not do IP
networking (IMO we should be discouraging IPv4-only devices), IPV6 can
be disabled or still built as a module.

ipv6: Remove privacy config option.

2013-10-29T00:07:50+00:00

The code for privacy extentions is very mature, and making it
configurable only gives marginal memory/code savings in exchange
for obfuscation and hard to read code via CPP ifdef'ery.
