ipv6/ip6_gre: set transport header correctly

2012-12-26T23:19:56+00:00

ip6gre_xmit2() incorrectly sets transport header to inner payload
instead of GRE header. It seems copy-and-pasted from ipip.c.
Set transport header to gre header.
(In ipip case the transport header is the inner ip header, so that's
correct.)

Found by inspection. In practice the incorrect transport header
doesn't matter because the skb usually is sent to another net_device
or socket, so the transport header isn't referenced.

ipv6: Fix Makefile offload objects

2012-12-16T17:15:53+00:00

The following commit breaks IPv6 TCP transmission for me:
	Commit 75fe83c32248d99e6d5fe64155e519b78bb90481
	Author: Vlad Yasevich 
	Date:   Fri Nov 16 09:41:21 2012 +0000
	ipv6: Preserve ipv6 functionality needed by NET

This patch fixes the typo "ipv6_offload" which should be
"ipv6-offload".

I don't know why not including the offload modules should
break TCP. Disabling all offload options on the NIC didn't
help. Outgoing pulseaudio traffic kept stalling.

inet: Fix kmemleak in tcp_v4/6_syn_recv_sock and dccp_v4/6_request_recv_sock

2012-12-14T18:14:07+00:00

If in either of the above functions inet_csk_route_child_sock() or
__inet_inherit_port() fails, the newsk will not be freed:

This happens, because sk_clone_lock initializes sk_refcnt to 2, and thus
a single sock_put() is not enough to free the memory. Additionally, things
like xfrm, memcg, cookie_values,... may have been initialized.
We have to free them properly.

This is fixed by forcing a call to tcp_done(), ending up in
inet_csk_destroy_sock, doing the final sock_put(). tcp_done() is necessary,
because it ends up doing all the cleanup on xfrm, memcg, cookie_values,
xfrm,...

Before calling tcp_done, we have to set the socket to SOCK_DEAD, to
force it entering inet_csk_destroy_sock. To avoid the warning in
inet_csk_destroy_sock, inet_num has to be set to 0.
As inet_csk_destroy_sock does a dec on orphan_count, we first have to
increase it.

Calling tcp_done() allows us to remove the calls to
tcp_clear_xmit_timer() and tcp_cleanup_congestion_control().

A similar approach is taken for dccp by calling dccp_done().

This is in the kernel since 093d282321 (tproxy: fix hash locking issue
when using port redirection in __inet_inherit_port()), thus since
version >= 2.6.37.

ipv6: Change skb->data before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect

2012-12-14T18:14:07+00:00

In function ndisc_redirect_rcv(), the skb->data points to the transport
header, but function icmpv6_notify() need the skb->data points to the
inner IP packet. So before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect,
change skb->data to point the inner IP packet that triggered the sending
of the Redirect, and introduce struct rd_msg to make it easy.

ndisc: Fix padding error in link-layer address option.

2012-12-13T17:58:11+00:00

If a natural number n exists where 2 + data_len <= 8n < 2 + data_len + pad,
post padding is not initialized correctly.

(Un)fortunately, the only type that requires pad is Infiniband,
whose pad is 2 and data_len is 20, and this logical error has not
become obvious, but it is better to fix.

Note that ndisc_opt_addr_space() handles the situation described
above correctly.

ipv6: avoid taking locks at socket dismantle

2012-12-05T21:01:28+00:00

ipv6_sock_mc_close() is called for ipv6 sockets at close time, and most
of them don't use multicast.

Add a test to avoid contention on a shared spinlock.

Same heuristic applies for ipv6_sock_ac_close(), to avoid contention
on a shared rwlock.

We talk about IPv6, hence the family is RTNL_FAMILY_IP6MR!
rtnl_register() is already called with RTNL_FAMILY_IP6MR.
