ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification

2009-03-13T23:02:07+00:00

Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing 
address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927.
Here is quote of important information:

"
An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, 
except    that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set 
to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. 
"

But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227.
"
The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid
polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case
where the address turns out to be already in use by another host.
"

When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because 
it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just 
causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so 
just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip.

net: convert usage of packet_type to read_mostly

2009-03-10T12:22:43+00:00

Protocols that use packet_type can be __read_mostly section for better
locality. Elminate any unnecessary initializations of NULL.

The attached patch makes it work much better for me.  The patch
will cause the code to NOT create a stale neighbor entry if we
are not going to respond to the ARP request.  The old code
*would* create a stale entry even if we are not going to respond.

netfilter: replace old NF_ARP calls with NFPROTO_ARP

2008-10-20T10:34:51+00:00

(Supplements: ee999d8b9573df1b547aacdc6d79f86eb79c25cd)

NFPROTO_ARP actually has a different value from NF_ARP, so ensure all
callers use the new value so that packets _do_ get delivered to the
registered hooks.
