ipv[4|6]: correct dropwatch false positive in local_deliver_finish

2013-03-01T20:56:29+00:00

I had a report recently of a user trying to use dropwatch to localise some frame
loss, and they were getting false positives.  Turned out they were using a user
space SCTP stack that used raw sockets to grab frames.  When we don't have a
registered protocol for a given packet, we record it as a drop, even if a raw
socket receieves the frame.  We should only record the drop in the event a raw
socket doesnt exist to receive the frames

Tested by the reported successfully

ipv6: Store Router Alert option in IP6CB directly.

2013-01-14T01:17:14+00:00

Router Alert option is very small and we can store the value
itself in the skb.

net: TCP early demux cleanup

2012-07-30T21:53:21+00:00

early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we
use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context
before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst))

Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around
->early_demux() are confusing and not needed :

Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section.
(__netif_receive_skb() does the rcu_read_lock() )

inet: Sanitize inet{,6} protocol demux.

2012-06-20T01:56:21+00:00

Don't pretend that inet_protos[] and inet6_protos[] are hashes, thay
are just a straight arrays.  Remove all unnecessary hash masking.

Document MAX_INET_PROTOS.

Use RAW_HTABLE_SIZE when appropriate.

ipv6: Add fragment reporting to ipv6_skip_exthdr().

2011-12-03T17:35:10+00:00

While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are
skipped making them invisible to the caller.  This reports the
fragment offset of the last header in order to make it possible to
determine whether the packet is fragmented and, if so whether it is
a first or last fragment.

ipv6: drop packets when source address is multicast

2011-11-08T17:37:06+00:00

RFC 4291 Section 2.7 says Multicast addresses must not be used as source
addresses in IPv6 packets - drop them on input so we don't process the
packet further.
