ipv6: flush nd cache on IFF_NOARP change

2015-07-30T06:01:39+00:00

This patch is the IPv6 equivalent of commit
6c8b4e3ff81b ("arp: flush arp cache on IFF_NOARP change")

Without it, we keep buggy neighbours in the cache, with destination
MAC address equal to our own MAC address.

Tested:
 tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 ip6 -n -e &
 ip link set dev eth0 arp off
 ping6 remote   // sends buggy frames
 ip link set dev eth0 arp on
 ping6 remote   // should work once kernel is patched

inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the test

2015-07-27T04:00:15+00:00

We can simply remove the INET_FRAG_EVICTED flag to avoid all the flags
race conditions with the evictor and use a participation test for the
evictor list, when we're at that point (after inet_frag_kill) in the
timer there're 2 possible cases:

1. The evictor added the entry to its evictor list while the timer was
waiting for the chainlock
or
2. The timer unchained the entry and the evictor won't see it

In both cases we should be able to see list_evictor correctly due
to the sync on the chainlock.

Joint work with Florian Westphal.

inet: frag: change *_frag_mem_limit functions to take netns_frags as argument

2015-07-27T04:00:14+00:00

Followup patch will call it after inet_frag_queue was freed, so q->net
doesn't work anymore (but netf = q->net; free(q); mem_limit(netf) would).

Revert "sit: Add gro callbacks to sit_offload"

2015-07-20T23:52:28+00:00

This patch reverts 19424e052fb44da2f00d1a868cbb51f3e9f4bbb5 ("sit:
Add gro callbacks to sit_offload") because it generates packets
that cannot be handled even by our own GSO.

ipv6: lock socket in ip6_datagram_connect()

2015-07-16T00:25:51+00:00

ip6_datagram_connect() is doing a lot of socket changes without
socket being locked.

This looks wrong, at least for udp_lib_rehash() which could corrupt
lists because of concurrent udp_sk(sk)->udp_portaddr_hash accesses.

ipv6: Make MLD packets to only be processed locally

2015-07-03T16:52:38+00:00

Before commit daad151263cf ("ipv6: Make ipv6_is_mld() inline and use it
from ip6_mc_input().") MLD packets were only processed locally. After the
change, a copy of MLD packet goes through ip6_mr_input, causing
MRT6MSG_NOCACHE message to be generated to user space.

Make MLD packet only processed locally.

net-ipv6: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "free_percpu"

2015-07-03T16:27:42+00:00

The free_percpu() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

ip: report the original address of ICMP messages

2015-06-24T07:48:08+00:00

ICMP messages can trigger ICMP and local errors. In this case
serr->port is 0 and starting from Linux 4.0 we do not return
the original target address to the error queue readers.
Add function to define which errors provide addr_offset.
With this fix my ping command is not silent anymore.
