ipv6: Fix traffic triggered IPsec connections.

2017-10-09T16:39:26+00:00

A recent patch removed the dst_free() on the allocated
dst_entry in ipv6_blackhole_route(). The dst_free() marked
the dst_entry as dead and added it to the gc list. I.e. it
was setup for a one time usage. As a result we may now have
a blackhole route cached at a socket on some IPsec scenarios.
This makes the connection unusable.

Fix this by marking the dst_entry directly at allocation time
as 'dead', so it is used only once.

ipv6: set dst.obsolete when a cached route has expired

2017-08-28T22:45:04+00:00

Now it doesn't check for the cached route expiration in ipv6's
dst_ops->check(), because it trusts dst_gc that would clean the
cached route up when it's expired.

The problem is in dst_gc, it would clean the cached route only
when it's refcount is 1. If some other module (like xfrm) keeps
holding it and the module only release it when dst_ops->check()
fails.

But without checking for the cached route expiration, .check()
may always return true. Meanwhile, without releasing the cached
route, dst_gc couldn't del it. It will cause this cached route
never to expire.

This patch is to set dst.obsolete with DST_OBSOLETE_KILL in .gc
when it's expired, and check obsolete != DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK
in .check.

Note that this is even needed when ipv6 dst_gc timer is removed
one day. It would set dst.obsolete in .redirect and .update_pmtu
instead, and check for cached route expiration when getting it,
just like what ipv4 route does.

ipv6: fix sparse warning on rt6i_node

2017-08-28T22:34:40+00:00

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt->rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

ipv6: Use multipath hash from flow info if available

2017-08-25T01:21:17+00:00

Allow our callers to influence the choice of ECMP link by honoring the
hash passed together with the flow info. This allows for special
treatment of ICMP errors which we would like to route over the same path
as the IPv6 datagram that triggered the error.

Also go through rt6_multipath_hash(), in the usual case when we aren't
dealing with an ICMP error, so that there is one central place where
multipath hash is computed.

ipv6: Fold rt6_info_hash_nhsfn() into its only caller

2017-08-25T01:21:17+00:00

Commit 644d0e656958 ("ipv6 Use get_hash_from_flowi6 for rt6 hash") has
turned rt6_info_hash_nhsfn() into a one-liner, so it no longer makes
sense to keep it around. Also remove the accompanying comment that has
become outdated.

ipv6: Compute multipath hash for ICMP errors from offending packet

2017-08-25T01:21:17+00:00

When forwarding or sending out an ICMPv6 error, look at the embedded
packet that triggered the error and compute a flow hash over its
headers.

This let's us route the ICMP error together with the flow it belongs to
when multipath (ECMP) routing is in use, which in turn makes Path MTU
Discovery work in ECMP load-balanced or anycast setups (RFC 7690).

Granted, end-hosts behind the ECMP router (aka servers) need to reflect
the IPv6 Flow Label for PMTUD to work.

The code is organized to be in parallel with ipv4 stack:

  ip_multipath_l3_keys -> ip6_multipath_l3_keys
  fib_multipath_hash   -> rt6_multipath_hash

ipv6: add rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node

2017-08-22T18:03:19+00:00

We currently keep rt->rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt->rt6i_node, it could
potentially cause crashes as rt->rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
CPUs when doing a route deletion.
This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().

Note: there is no "Fixes" tag because this bug was there in a very
early stage.

net: ipv6: put host and anycast routes on device with address

2017-08-21T17:40:17+00:00

One nagging difference between ipv4 and ipv6 is host routes for ipv6
addresses are installed using the loopback device or VRF / L3 Master
device. e.g.,

    2001:db8:1::/120 dev veth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
    local 2001:db8:1::1 dev lo table local proto kernel metric 0 pref medium

Using the loopback device is convenient -- necessary for local tx, but
has some nasty side effects, most notably setting the 'lo' device down
causes all host routes for all local IPv6 address to be removed from the
FIB and completely breaks IPv6 networking across all interfaces.

This patch puts FIB entries for IPv6 routes against the device. This
simplifies the routes in the FIB, for example by making dst->dev and
rt6i_idev->dev the same (a future patch can look at removing the device
reference taken for rt6i_idev for FIB entries).

When copies are made on FIB lookups, the cloned route has dst->dev
set to loopback (or the L3 master device). This is needed for the
local Tx of packets to local addresses.

With fib entries allocated against the real network device, the addrconf
code that reinserts host routes on admin up of 'lo' is no longer needed.
