ipv6: del unreachable route when an addr is deleted on lo

2012-10-12T20:50:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 64c6d08e6490fb18cea09bb03686c149946bd818 ]

When an address is added on loopback (ip -6 a a 2002::1/128 dev lo), two routes
are added:
 - one in the local table:
    local 2002::1 via :: dev lo  proto none  metric 0
 - one the in main table (for the prefix):
    unreachable 2002::1 dev lo  proto kernel  metric 256  error -101

When the address is deleted, the route inserted in the main table remains
because we use rt6_lookup(), which returns NULL when dst->error is set, which
is the case here! Thus, it is better to use ip6_route_lookup() to avoid this
kind of filter.

ipv6: release reference of ip6_null_entry's dst entry in __ip6_del_rt

2012-10-12T20:50:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6825a26c2dc21eb4f8df9c06d3786ddec97cf53b ]

as we hold dst_entry before we call __ip6_del_rt,
so we should alse call dst_release not only return
-ENOENT when the rt6_info is ip6_null_entry.

and we already hold the dst entry, so I think it's
safe to call dst_release out of the write-read lock.

8021q: fix mac_len recomputation in vlan_untag()

2012-10-12T20:50:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5316cf9a5197eb80b2800e1acadde287924ca975 ]

skb_reset_mac_len() relies on the value of the skb->network_header pointer,
therefore we must wait for such pointer to be recalculated before computing
the new mac_len value.

ipv4: add a fib_type to fib_info

2012-10-12T20:50:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4ef85bbda96324785097356336bc79cdd37db0a ]

commit d2d68ba9fe8 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.)
introduced a regression for forwarding.

This was hard to reproduce but the symptom was that packets were
delivered to local host instead of being forwarded.

David suggested to add fib_type to fib_info so that we dont
inadvertently share same fib_info for different purposes.

With help from Julian Anastasov who provided very helpful
hints, reproduced here :


        Can it be a problem related to fib_info reuse
from different routes. For example, when local IP address
is created for subnet we have:

broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev DEV  proto kernel  scope link  src
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.0/24 dev DEV  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.1
local 192.168.0.1 dev DEV  proto kernel  scope host  src 192.168.0.1

        The "dev DEV  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.1" is
a reused fib_info structure where we put cached routes.
The result can be same fib_info for 192.168.0.255 and
192.168.0.0/24. RTN_BROADCAST is cached only for input
routes. Incoming broadcast to 192.168.0.255 can be cached
and can cause problems for traffic forwarded to 192.168.0.0/24.
So, this patch should solve the problem because it
separates the broadcast from unicast traffic.

        And the ip_route_input_slow caching will work for
local and broadcast input routes (above routes 1 and 3) just
because they differ in scope and use different fib_info.



Many thanks to Chris Clayton for his patience and help.

inetpeer: fix token initialization

2012-09-27T23:27:39+00:00

When jiffies wraps around (for example, 5 minutes after the boot, see
INITIAL_JIFFIES) and peer has just been created, now - peer->rate_last can be
< XRLIM_BURST_FACTOR * timeout, so token is not set to the maximum value, thus
some icmp packets can be unexpectedly dropped.

Fix this case by initializing last_rate to 60 seconds in the past.

l2tp: fix return value check

2012-09-27T17:18:19+00:00

In case of error, the function genlmsg_put() returns NULL pointer
not ERR_PTR(). The IS_ERR() test in the return value check should
be replaced with NULL test.

====================
If time allows, I'd appreciate if you can take the following fix
for the xt_limit match.

As Jan indicates, random things may occur while using the xt_limit
match due to use of uninitialized memory.

netfilter: xt_limit: have r->cost != 0 case work

2012-09-25T23:33:16+00:00

Commit v2.6.19-rc1~1272^2~41 tells us that r->cost != 0 can happen when
a running state is saved to userspace and then reinstated from there.

Make sure that private xt_limit area is initialized with correct values.
Otherwise, random matchings due to use of uninitialized memory.

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of
    bugs.  These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need
    to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not
    expecting this possibility.  The callers have cached pointers to the
    packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to
    continue using pskb_may_pull().

    So they could end up reading garbage.

    It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use
    skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify
    the linear SKB data area.

 2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can
    call down into the TCP keepalive code.  The case basically involves
    creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling
    setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...)

    Fixed by Eric Dumazet.

 3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered
    on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP.  Fix
    from Andrzej Kaczmarek.

 4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in
    place.  From Andrei Emeltchenko.

 5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in
    cfg80211, from Luis R.  Rodriguez.

 6) Fix interrupt double release in iwlwifi, from Emmanuel Grumbach.

 7) Missing module license in bcm87xx driver, from Peter Huewe.

 8) Team driver can lose port changed events when adding devices to a
    team, fix from Jiri Pirko.

 9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie
    state, from Xiaodong Xu.

10) batman-adv layer needs to set MAC address of software device
    earlier, otherwise we call tt_local_add with it uninitialized.

11) Fix handling of KSZ8021 PHYs, it's matched currently by KS8051 but
    that doesn't program the device properly.  From Marek Vasut.

mip6_mh_filter() should not modify its input, or else its caller

Use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull()
