<title>ipv6: add new struct ipcm6_cookie</title>

<content type='text'>
In the sendmsg function of UDP, raw, ICMP and l2tp sockets, we use local
variables like hlimits, tclass, opt and dontfrag and pass them to corresponding
functions like ip6_make_skb, ip6_append_data and xxx_push_pending_frames.
This is not a good practice and makes it hard to add new parameters.
This fix introduces a new struct ipcm6_cookie similar to ipcm_cookie in
ipv4 and include the above mentioned variables. And we only pass the
pointer to this structure to corresponding functions. This makes it easier
to add new parameters in the future and makes the function cleaner.

Conflicts were two cases of simple overlapping changes,
nothing serious.

In the UDP case, we need to add a hlist_add_tail_rcu()
to linux/rculist.h, because we've moved UDP socket handling
away from using nulls lists.

<title>ipv6: udp: Do a route lookup and update during release_cb</title>

This patch adds a release_cb for UDPv6.  It does a route lookup
and updates sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache if it is needed.  It picks up the
left-over job from ip6_sk_update_pmtu() if the sk was owned
by user during the pmtu update.

It takes a rcu_read_lock to protect the __sk_dst_get() operations
because another thread may do ip6_dst_store() without taking the
sk lock (e.g. sendmsg).

<title>ipv6: datagram: Update dst cache of a connected datagram sk during pmtu update</title>

<id>33c162a980fe03498fcecb917f618ad7e7c55e61</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a case in connected UDP socket such that
getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) will return a stale MTU value. The reproducible
sequence could be the following:
1. Create a connected UDP socket
2. Send some datagrams out
3. Receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG
4. No new outgoing datagrams to trigger the sk_dst_check()
   logic to update the sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache.
5. getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) returns the mtu from the invalid
   sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache instead of the newly created RTF_CACHE clone.

This patch updates the sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache for a connected datagram sk
during pmtu-update code path.

Note that the sk-&gt;sk_v6_daddr is used to do the route lookup
instead of skb-&gt;data (i.e. iph).  It is because a UDP socket can become
connected after sending out some datagrams in un-connected state.  or
It can be connected multiple times to different destinations.  Hence,
iph may not be related to where sk is currently connected to.

It is done under '!sock_owned_by_user(sk)' condition because
the user may make another ip6_datagram_connect()  (i.e changing
the sk-&gt;sk_v6_daddr) while dst lookup is happening in the pmtu-update
code path.

For the sock_owned_by_user(sk) == true case, the next patch will
introduce a release_cb() which will update the sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache.

Test:

Server (Connected UDP Socket):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Route Details:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep '2fac'
2fac::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
2fac:face::/64 via 2fac::face dev eth0  metric 1024  pref medium

A simple python code to create a connected UDP socket:

import socket
import errno

HOST = '2fac::1'
PORT = 8080

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.connect(('2fac:face::face', 53))
print("connected")
while True:
    try:
	data = s.recv(1024)
    except socket.error as se:
	if se.errno == errno.EMSGSIZE:
		pmtu = s.getsockopt(41, 24)
		print("PMTU:%d" % pmtu)
		break
s.close()

Python program output after getting a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# python2 ~/devshare/kernel/tasks/fib6/udp-connect-53-8080.py
connected
PMTU:1300

Cache routes after recieving TOOBIG:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# ip -6 r show table cache
2fac:face::face via 2fac::face dev eth0  metric 0
    cache  expires 463sec mtu 1300 pref medium

Client (Send the ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scapy is used to generate the TOOBIG message.  Here is the scapy script I have
used:

&gt;&gt;&gt; p=Ether(src='da:75:4d:36:ac:32', dst='52:54:00:12:34:66', type=0x86dd)/IPv6(src='2fac::face', dst='2fac::1')/ICMPv6PacketTooBig(mtu=1300)/IPv6(src='2fac::
1',dst='2fac:face::face', nh='UDP')/UDP(sport=8080,dport=53)
&gt;&gt;&gt; sendp(p, iface='qemubr0')

<title>ipv6: process socket-level control messages in IPv6</title>

<content type='text'>
Process socket-level control messages by invoking
__sock_cmsg_send in ip6_datagram_send_ctl for control messages on
the SOL_SOCKET layer.

This makes sure whenever ip6_datagram_send_ctl is called for
udp and raw, we also process socket-level control messages.

This is a bit uglier than IPv4, since IPv6 does not have
something like ipcm_cookie. Perhaps we can later create
a control message cookie for IPv6?

Note that this commit interprets new control messages that
were ignored before. As such, this commit does not change
the behavior of IPv6 control messages.

udp and raw, we also process socket-level control messages.

This is a bit uglier than IPv4, since IPv6 does not have
something like ipcm_cookie. Perhaps we can later create
a control message cookie for IPv6?

Note that this commit interprets new control messages that
were ignored before. As such, this commit does not change
the behavior of IPv6 control messages.

Currently, the egress interface index specified via IPV6_PKTINFO
is ignored by __ip6_datagram_connect(), so that RFC 3542 section 6.7
can be subverted when the user space application calls connect()
before sendmsg().
Fix it by initializing properly flowi6_oif in connect() before
performing the route lookup.
