ipv6: release dst in ping_v6_sendmsg

2016-09-06T19:54:17+00:00

Neither the failure or success paths of ping_v6_sendmsg release
the dst it acquires.  This leads to a flood of warnings from
"net/core/dst.c:288 dst_release" on older kernels that
don't have 8bf4ada2e21378816b28205427ee6b0e1ca4c5f1 backported.

That patch optimistically hoped this had been fixed post 3.10, but
it seems at least one case wasn't, where I've seen this triggered
a lot from machines doing unprivileged icmp sockets.

net: ipv6: Fix ping to link-local addresses.

2016-08-15T19:19:09+00:00

ping_v6_sendmsg does not set flowi6_oif in response to
sin6_scope_id or sk_bound_dev_if, so it is not possible to use
these APIs to ping an IPv6 address on a different interface.
Instead, it sets flowi6_iif, which is incorrect but harmless.

Stop setting flowi6_iif, and support various ways of setting oif
in the same priority order used by udpv6_sendmsg.

ipv6: use TOS marks from sockets for routing decision

2016-06-11T22:33:26+00:00

In IPv6 the ToS values are part of the flowlabel in flowi6 and get
extracted during fib rule lookup, but we forgot to correctly initialize
the flowlabel before the routing lookup.

ipv6: add new struct ipcm6_cookie

2016-05-03T20:08:14+00:00

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.

sock: enable timestamping using control messages

2016-04-04T19:50:30+00:00

Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt.
This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather
tx timestamps.

Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by
using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous
patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in
a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags
of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg.

Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording
timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g.,
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using
socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_*
using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each
write.

net: ping: make ping_v6_sendmsg static

2016-03-24T02:09:58+00:00

As ping_v6_sendmsg is used only in this file,
making it static

The body of "pingv6_prot" and "pingv6_protosw" were
moved at the middle of the file, to avoid having to
declare some static prototypes.

net: ping: Return EAFNOSUPPORT when appropriate.

2015-03-04T20:46:51+00:00

1. For an IPv4 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr does not check
   the family of the socket address that's passed in. Instead,
   make it behave like inet_bind, which enforces either that the
   address family is AF_INET, or that the family is AF_UNSPEC and
   the address is 0.0.0.0.
2. For an IPv6 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr returns EINVAL
   if the socket family is not AF_INET6. Return EAFNOSUPPORT
   instead, for consistency with inet6_bind.
3. Make ping_v4_sendmsg and ping_v6_sendmsg return EAFNOSUPPORT
   instead of EINVAL if an incorrect socket address structure is
   passed in.
4. Make IPv6 ping sockets be IPv6-only. The code does not support
   IPv4, and it cannot easily be made to support IPv4 because
   the protocol numbers for ICMP and ICMPv6 are different. This
   makes connect(::ffff:192.0.2.1) fail with EAFNOSUPPORT instead
   of making the socket unusable.

Among other things, this fixes an oops that can be triggered by:

    int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMP);
    struct sockaddr_in6 sin6 = {
        .sin6_family = AF_INET6,
        .sin6_addr = in6addr_any,
    };
    bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &sin6, sizeof(sin6));

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.
