ipv6: move in6_dev_finish_destroy() into core kernel

2013-09-01T02:30:00+00:00

in6_dev_put() will be needed by vxlan module, so is
in6_dev_finish_destroy().

ipv6: export a stub for IPv6 symbols used by vxlan

2013-09-01T02:30:00+00:00

In case IPv6 is compiled as a module, introduce a stub
for ipv6_sock_mc_join and ipv6_sock_mc_drop etc.. It will be used
by vxlan module. Suggested by Ben.

This is an ugly but easy solution for now.

ipv6: add include file to suppress sparse warnings

2013-06-25T09:44:05+00:00

commit f88c91ddba95 ("ipv6: statically link
register_inet6addr_notifier()" added following sparse warnings :

net/ipv6/addrconf_core.c:83:5: warning: symbol
'register_inet6addr_notifier' was not declared. Should it be static?
net/ipv6/addrconf_core.c:89:5: warning: symbol

net/ipv6/addrconf_core.c:95:5: warning: symbol

ipv6: statically link register_inet6addr_notifier()

2013-04-14T19:24:17+00:00

Tomas reported the following build error:

net/built-in.o: In function `ieee80211_unregister_hw':
(.text+0x10f0e1): undefined reference to `unregister_inet6addr_notifier'
net/built-in.o: In function `ieee80211_register_hw':
(.text+0x10f610): undefined reference to `register_inet6addr_notifier'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

when built IPv6 as a module.

So we have to statically link these symbols.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

ipv6: Remove IPV6_ADDR_RESERVED

2010-02-26T11:59:07+00:00

RFC 4291 section 2.4 states that all uncategorized addresses
should be considered as Global Unicast.

This will remove IPV6_ADDR_RESERVED completely
and return IPV6_ADDR_UNICAST in ipv6_addr_type() instead.

[IPV6]: ipv6_addr_type() doesn't know about RFC4193 addresses.

2007-07-31T09:28:21+00:00

ipv6_addr_type() doesn't check for 'Unique Local IPv6 Unicast
Addresses' (RFC4193) and returns IPV6_ADDR_RESERVED for that range.

SCTP uses this function and will fail bind() and connect() calls that
use RFC4193 addresses, SCTP will also ignore inbound connections from
RFC4193 addresses if listening on IPV6_ADDR_ANY.

There may be other users of ipv6_addr_type() that could also have
problems.
