commit 66b13d99d96a (ipv4: tcp: fix TOS value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT) fixed IPv4 only. This part is for the IPv6 side, adding a tclass param to ip6_xmit() We alias tw_tclass and tw_tos, if socket family is INET6.

2011-10-19ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problemSteffen Klassert
ip6_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path). On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr handling to this.

2011-08-03net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

2011-07-22ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictableEric Dumazet
IPv6 fragment identification generation is way beyond what we use for IPv4 : It uses a single generator. Its not scalable and allows DOS attacks. Now inetpeer is IPv6 aware, we can use it to provide a more secure and scalable frag ident generator (per destination, instead of system wide) This patch : 1) defines a new secure_ipv6_id() helper 2) extends inet_getid() to provide 32bit results 3) extends ipv6_select_ident() with a new dest parameter Reported-by: Fernando Gont <fernando@gont.com.ar> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour and hh_cache entries, we no longer need: 1) dynamic allocation 2) attachment to dst->hh 3) refcounting Initialization of the hh_cache entry is indicated by hh_len being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

2011-05-06inet: Decrease overhead of on-stack inet_cork.David S. Miller
When we fast path datagram sends to avoid locking by putting the inet_cork on the stack we use up lots of space that isn't necessary. This is because inet_cork contains a "struct flowi" which isn't used in these code paths. Split inet_cork to two parts, "inet_cork" and "inet_cork_full". Only the latter of which has the "struct flowi" and is what is stored in inet_sock. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

2011-03-01ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences.David S. Miller
Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or __xfrm_lookup(). __xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case -EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged). Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely. All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines, ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow. The latter of which handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-09-21ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentationEric Dumazet
Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() : When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected. Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and test program. Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2 While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e911 (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older (2.6.12-rc5) A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c3a893e (ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socket) to ipv6 as well.

2010-08-23net: Rename skb_has_frags to skb_has_frag_listDavid S. Miller
SKBs can be "fragmented" in two ways, via a page array (called skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]) and via a list of SKBs (called skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list).

2010-05-28ipv6: Add GSO support on forwarding pathHerbert Xu
Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path. This patch fixes this. Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g., IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether, when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead. I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message. Someone should add that to be 100% correct.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-04-22ipv6: allow to send packet after receiving ICMPv6 Too Big message with MTU ↵Shan Wei
field less than IPV6_MIN_MTU According to RFC2460, PMTU is set to the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU (1280) and a fragment header should always be included after a node receiving Too Big message reporting PMTU is less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU. After receiving a ICMPv6 Too Big message reporting PMTU is less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU, sctp *can't* send any data/control chunk that total length including IPv6 head and IPv6 extend head is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU(1280 bytes).
