Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains fixes for your net tree, two of them
are due to relatively recent changes, one has been a longstanding bug,
they are:

* Fix incorrect usage of rt_gateway in the H.323 helper, from
  Julian Anastasov.

* Skip re-route in nf_nat code for ICMP traffic. If CONFIG_XFRM is
  enabled, we waste cycles to look up for the route again. This problem
  seems to be there since really long time. From Ulrich Weber.

* Fix mismatching section in nf_conntrack_reasm, from Hein Tibosch.

netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv6: solve section mismatch in nf_conntrack_reasm

2012-10-28T21:44:15+00:00

WARNING: net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_defrag_ipv6.o(.text+0xe0): Section mismatch in
reference from the function nf_ct_net_init() to the function
.init.text:nf_ct_frag6_sysctl_register()
The function nf_ct_net_init() references the function
__init nf_ct_frag6_sysctl_register().

In case nf_conntrack_ipv6 is compiled as a module, nf_ct_net_init could be
called after the init code and data are unloaded. Therefore remove the
"__net_init" annotation from nf_ct_frag6_sysctl_register().

netfilter: nf_nat: don't check for port change on ICMP tuples

2012-10-28T21:43:34+00:00

ICMP tuples have id in src and type/code in dst.
So comparing src.u.all with dst.u.all will always fail here
and ip_xfrm_me_harder() is called for every ICMP packet,
even if there was no NAT.

ipv6: Set default hoplimit as zero.

2012-10-25T03:14:17+00:00

Commit a02e4b7dae4551(Demark default hoplimit as zero) only changes the
hoplimit checking condition and default value in ip6_dst_hoplimit, not
zeros all hoplimit default value.

Keep the zeroing ip6_template_metrics[RTAX_HOPLIMIT - 1] to force it as
const, cause as a37e6e344910(net: force dst_default_metrics to const
section)

ipv6: addrconf: fix /proc/net/if_inet6

2012-10-16T18:41:47+00:00

Commit 1d5783030a1 (ipv6/addrconf: speedup /proc/net/if_inet6 filling)
added bugs hiding some devices from if_inet6 and breaking applications.

"ip -6 addr" could still display all IPv6 addresses, while "ifconfig -a"
couldnt.

One way to reproduce the bug is by starting in a shell :

unshare -n /bin/bash
ifconfig lo up

And in original net namespace, lo device disappeared from if_inet6

tcp: resets are misrouted

2012-10-12T17:52:40+00:00

After commit e2446eaa ("tcp_v4_send_reset: binding oif to iif in no
sock case").. tcp resets are always lost, when routing is asymmetric.
Yes, backing out that patch will result in misrouting of resets for
dead connections which used interface binding when were alive, but we
actually cannot do anything here.  What's died that's died and correct
handling normal unbound connections is obviously a priority.

Comment to comment:
> This has few benefits:
>   1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that.

It was done to route resets for IPv6 link local addresses. It was a
mistake to do so for global addresses. The patch fixes this as well.

Actually, the problem appears to be even more serious than guaranteed
loss of resets.  As reported by Sergey Soloviev , those
misrouted resets create a lot of arp traffic and huge amount of
unresolved arp entires putting down to knees NAT firewalls which use
asymmetric routing.

ipv6: gro: fix PV6_GRO_CB(skb)->proto problem

2012-10-08T19:40:43+00:00

It seems IPV6_GRO_CB(skb)->proto can be destroyed in skb_gro_receive()
if a new skb is allocated (to serve as an anchor for frag_list)

We copy NAPI_GRO_CB() only (not the IPV6 specific part) in :

*NAPI_GRO_CB(nskb) = *NAPI_GRO_CB(p);

So we leave IPV6_GRO_CB(nskb)->proto to 0 (fresh skb allocation) instead
of IPPROTO_TCP (6)

ipv6_gro_complete() isnt able to call ops->gro_complete()
[ tcp6_gro_complete() ]

Fix this by moving proto in NAPI_GRO_CB() and getting rid of
IPV6_GRO_CB

ipv6: GRO should be ECN friendly

2012-10-07T18:44:36+00:00

IPv4 side of the problem was addressed in commit a9e050f4e7f9d
(net: tcp: GRO should be ECN friendly)

This patch does the same, but for IPv6 : A Traffic Class mismatch
doesnt mean flows are different, but instead should force a flush
of previous packets.

This patch removes artificial packet reordering problem.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "The most important bit in here is the fix for input route caching from
  Eric Dumazet, it's a shame we couldn't fully analyze this in time for
  3.6 as it's a 3.6 regression introduced by the routing cache removal.

  Anyways, will send quickly to -stable after you pull this in.

  Other changes of note:

   1) Fix lockdep splats in team and bonding, from Eric Dumazet.

   2) IPV6 adds link local route even when there is no link local
      address, from Nicolas Dichtel.

   3) Fix ixgbe PTP implementation, from Jacob Keller.

   4) Fix excessive stack usage in cxgb4 driver, from Vipul Pandya.

   5) MAC length computed improperly in VLAN demux, from Antonio
      Quartulli."
