<title>ipv6/addrconf: only check invalid header values when NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK is set</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 4b1373de73a3 ("net: ipv6: addr: perform strict checks also for
doit handlers") we add strict check for inet6_rtm_getaddr(). But we did
the invalid header values check before checking if NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK
is set. This may break backwards compatibility if user already set the
ifm-&gt;ifa_prefixlen, ifm-&gt;ifa_flags, ifm-&gt;ifa_scope in their netlink code.

I didn't move the nlmsg_len check because I thought it's a valid check.

Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except
at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused
definition of FIELD_SIZEOF().

This patch is generated using following script:

EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h"

git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file;
do

	if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then

<title>net: ipv6_stub: use ip6_dst_lookup_flow instead of ip6_dst_lookup</title>

ipv6_stub uses the ip6_dst_lookup function to allow other modules to
perform IPv6 lookups. However, this function skips the XFRM layer
entirely.

All users of ipv6_stub-&gt;ip6_dst_lookup use ip_route_output_flow (via the
ip_route_output_key and ip_route_output helpers) for their IPv4 lookups,
which calls xfrm_lookup_route(). This patch fixes this inconsistent
behavior by switching the stub to ip6_dst_lookup_flow, which also calls
xfrm_lookup_route().

This requires some changes in all the callers, as these two functions
take different arguments and have different return types.

This will be used in the conversion of ipv6_stub to ip6_dst_lookup_flow,
as some modules currently pass a net argument without a socket to
ip6_dst_lookup. This is equivalent to commit 343d60aada5a ("ipv6: change
ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup to take net argument").

Note that the sysctl write accessor functions guarantee that:
  net-&gt;ipv4.sysctl_ip_prot_sock &lt;= net-&gt;ipv4.ip_local_ports.range[0]
invariant is maintained, and as such the max() in selinux hooks is actually spurious.

ie. even though
  if (snum &lt; max(inet_prot_sock(sock_net(sk)), low) || snum &gt; high) {
per logic is the same as
  if ((snum &lt; inet_prot_sock(sock_net(sk)) &amp;&amp; snum &lt; low) || snum &gt; high) {
it is actually functionally equivalent to:
  if (snum &lt; low || snum &gt; high) {
which is equivalent to:
  if (snum &lt; inet_prot_sock(sock_net(sk)) || snum &lt; low || snum &gt; high) {
even though the first clause is spurious.

But we want to hold on to it in case we ever want to change what what
inet_port_requires_bind_service() means (for example by changing
it from a, by default, [0..1024) range to some sort of set).

<title>seg6: allow local packet processing for SRv6 End.DT6 behavior</title>

End.DT6 behavior makes use of seg6_lookup_nexthop() function which drops
all packets that are destined to be locally processed. However, DT* should
be able to deliver decapsulated packets that are destined to local
addresses. Function seg6_lookup_nexthop() is also used by DX6, so in order
to maintain compatibility I created another routing helper function which
is called seg6_lookup_any_nexthop(). This function is able to take into
account both packets that have to be processed locally and the ones that
are destined to be forwarded directly to another machine. Hence,
seg6_lookup_any_nexthop() is used in DT6 rather than seg6_lookup_nexthop()
to allow local delivery.

NET_RAW is less dangerous, so more likely to be available to a process,
so check it first to prevent some spurious logging.

This matches IP_TRANSPARENT which checks NET_RAW first.

When doing RX batch packet processing, we currently always repeat
the route lookup for each ingress packet. When no custom rules are
in place, and there aren't routes depending on source addresses,
we know that packets with the same destination address will use
the same dst.

This change tries to avoid per packet route lookup caching
the destination address of the latest successful lookup, and
reusing it for the next packet when the above conditions are
in place. Ingress traffic for most servers should fit.

The measured performance delta under UDP flood vs a recvmmsg
receiver is as follow:

vanilla		patched		delta
Kpps		Kpps		%
1431		1674		+17

In the worst-case scenario - each packet has a different
destination address - the performance delta is within noise
range.

v3 -&gt; v4:
 - support hints for SUBFLOW build, too (David A.)
 - several style fixes (Eric)

v2 -&gt; v3:
 - add fib6_has_custom_rules() helpers (David A.)
 - add ip6_extract_route_hint() helper (Edward C.)
 - use hint directly in ip6_list_rcv_finish() (Willem)

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - fix build issue with !CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
 - fix potential race when fib6_has_custom_rules is set
   while processing a packet batch
