ip6_tunnel: use the right netns in ioctl handler

2014-04-16T19:16:02+00:00

Because the netdevice may be in another netns than the i/o netns, we should
use the i/o netns instead of dev_net(dev).

Because the netdevice may be in another netns than the i/o netns, we should
use the i/o netns instead of dev_net(dev).

Note that netdev_priv(dev) cannot bu NULL, hence we can remove these useless
checks.

ipv4, fib: pass LOOPBACK_IFINDEX instead of 0 to flowi4_iif

2014-04-16T19:05:11+00:00

As suggested by Julian:

	Simply, flowi4_iif must not contain 0, it does not
	look logical to ignore all ip rules with specified iif.

because in fib_rule_match() we do:

        if (rule->iifindex && (rule->iifindex != fl->flowi_iif))
                goto out;

flowi4_iif should be LOOPBACK_IFINDEX by default.

We need to move LOOPBACK_IFINDEX to include/net/flow.h:

1) It is mostly used by flowi_iif

2) Fix the following compile error if we use it in flow.h
by the patches latter:

ip6_gre: don't allow to remove the fb_tunnel_dev

2014-04-15T18:56:19+00:00

It's possible to remove the FB tunnel with the command 'ip link del ip6gre0' but
this is unsafe, the module always supposes that this device exists. For example,
ip6gre_tunnel_lookup() may use it unconditionally.

Let's add a rtnl handler for dellink, which will never remove the FB tunnel (we
let ip6gre_destroy_tunnels() do the job).

Introduced by commit c12b395a4664 ("gre: Support GRE over IPv6").

ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path.

2014-04-15T17:47:15+00:00

In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.

The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

ipv4: add a sock pointer to ip_queue_xmit()

2014-04-15T16:58:34+00:00

ip_queue_xmit() assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an
inet socket. Commit 31c70d5956fc ("l2tp: keep original skb ownership")
changed l2tp to not change skb ownership and thus broke this assumption.

One fix is to add a new 'struct sock *sk' parameter to ip_queue_xmit(),
so that we do not assume skb->sk points to the socket used by l2tp
tunnel.

ipv6: Limit mtu to 65575 bytes

2014-04-14T16:39:59+00:00

Francois reported that setting big mtu on loopback device could prevent
tcp sessions making progress.

We do not support (yet ?) IPv6 Jumbograms and cook corrupted packets.

We must limit the IPv6 MTU to (65535 + 40) bytes in theory.

Tested:

ifconfig lo mtu 70000
netperf -H ::1

Before patch : Throughput :   0.05 Mbits

After patch : Throughput : 35484 Mbits

net: ipv6: Fix oif in TCP SYN+ACK route lookup.

2014-04-11T20:43:47+00:00

net-next commit 9c76a11, ipv6: tcp_ipv6 policy route issue, had
a boolean logic error that caused incorrect behaviour for TCP
SYN+ACK when oif-based rules are in use. Specifically:

1. If a SYN comes in from a global address, and sk_bound_dev_if
   is not set, the routing lookup has oif set to the interface
   the SYN came in on. Instead, it should have oif unset,
   because for global addresses, the incoming interface doesn't
   necessarily have any bearing on the interface the SYN+ACK is
   sent out on.
2. If a SYN comes in from a link-local address, and
   sk_bound_dev_if is set, the routing lookup has oif set to the
   interface the SYN came in on. Instead, it should have oif set
   to sk_bound_dev_if, because that's what the application
   requested.

netfilter: Can't fail and free after table replacement

2014-04-05T15:46:22+00:00

All xtables variants suffer from the defect that the copy_to_user()
to copy the counters to user memory may fail after the table has
already been exchanged and thus exposed. Return an error at this
point will result in freeing the already exposed table. Any
subsequent packet processing will result in a kernel panic.

We can't copy the counters before exposing the new tables as we
want provide the counter state after the old table has been
unhooked. Therefore convert this into a silent error.

ipv6: some ipv6 statistic counters failed to disable bh

2014-03-31T20:38:12+00:00

After commit c15b1ccadb323ea ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify
processing to workqueue") some counters are now updated in process context
and thus need to disable bh before doing so, otherwise deadlocks can
happen on 32-bit archs. Fabio Estevam noticed this while while mounting
a NFS volume on an ARM board.

As a compensation for missing this I looked after the other *_STATS_BH
and found three other calls which need updating:

1) icmp6_send: ip6_fragment -> icmpv6_send -> icmp6_send (error handling)
2) ip6_push_pending_frames: rawv6_sendmsg -> rawv6_push_pending_frames -> ...
   (only in case of icmp protocol with raw sockets in error handling)
3) ping6_v6_sendmsg (error handling)
