2013-07-11ipv6: fix route selection if kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREFHannes Frederic Sowa
This is a follow-up patch to 3630d40067a21d4dfbadc6002bb469ce26ac5d52 ("ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available"). Since the removal of rt->n in rt6_info we can end up with a dst == NULL in rt6_check_neigh. In case the kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF we should also select a route with unkown NUD state but we must not avoid doing round robin selection on routes with the same target. So introduce and pass down a boolean ``do_rr'' to indicate when we should update rt->rr_ptr. As soon as no route is valid we do backtracking and do a lookup on a higher level in the fib trie. v2: a) Improved rt6_check_neigh logic (no need to create neighbour there) and documented return values. v3: a) Introduce enum rt6_nud_state to get rid of the magic numbers (thanks to David Miller). b) Update and shorten commit message a bit to actualy reflect the source.

2013-07-11ipv6: in case of link failure remove route directly instead of letting it expireHannes Frederic Sowa
We could end up expiring a route which is part of an ecmp route set. Doing so would invalidate the rt->rt6i_nsiblings calculations and could provoke the following panic: [ 80.144667] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 80.145172] kernel BUG at net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c:733!

2013-07-04ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information ↵Hannes Frederic Sowa
are available After the removal of rt->n we do not create a neighbour entry at route insertion time (rt6_bind_neighbour is gone). As long as no neighbour is created because of "useful traffic" we skip this routing entry because rt6_check_neigh cannot pick up a valid neighbour (neigh == NULL) and thus returns false. This change was introduced by commit 887c95cc1da53f66a5890fdeab13414613010097 ("ipv6: Complete neighbour entry removal from dst_entry.") To quote RFC4191: "If the host has no information about the router's reachability, then the host assumes the router is reachable." and also: "A host MUST NOT probe a router's reachability in the absence of useful traffic that the host would have sent to the router if it were reachable." So, just assume the router is reachable and let's rt6_probe do the rest. We don't need to create a neighbour on route insertion time. If we don't compile with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF (RFC4191 support) a neighbour is only valid if its nud_state is NUD_VALID. I did not find any references that we should probe the router on route insertion time via the other RFCs. So skip this route in that case. v2: a) use IS_ENABLED instead of #ifdefs (thanks to Sergei Shtylyov) Reported-by: Pierre Emeriaud <petrus.lt@gmail.com> Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor, keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of the object. Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple just for fresh entries.

2012-12-03ipv6: Fix default route failover when CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF=nPaul Marks
I believe this commit from 2008 was incorrect: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=398bcbebb6f721ac308df1e3d658c0029bb74503 When CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is disabled, the kernel should follow RFC4861 section 6.3.6: if no route is NUD_VALID, then traffic should be sprayed across all routers (indirectly triggering NUD) until one of them becomes NUD_VALID. However, the following experiment demonstrates that this does not work: 1) Connect to an IPv6 network. 2) Change the router's MAC (and link-local) address. The kernel will lock onto the first router and never try the new one, even if the first becomes unreachable. This patch fixes the problem by allowing rt6_check_neigh() to return 0; if all routers return 0, then rt6_select() will fall back to round-robin behavior. This patch should have no effect when CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF=y. Note that rt6_check_neigh() is only used in a boolean context, so I've changed its return type accordingly.

2012-11-19net: Don't export sysctls to unprivileged usersEric W. Biederman
In preparation for supporting the creation of network namespaces by unprivileged users, modify all of the per net sysctl exports and refuse to allow them to unprivileged users. This makes it safe for unprivileged users in general to access per net sysctls, and allows sysctls to be exported to unprivileged users on an individual basis as they are deemed safe.

6431cbc25f(Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes) introduces these codes, but this mechanism is never enabled since rt6i_peer_genid always is zero whether it is not assigned or assigned by rt6_peer_genid(). After 5943634fc5 (ipv4: Maintain redirect and PMTU info in struct rtable again), the ipv4 related codes of this mechanism has been removed, I think we maybe able to remove them now.

2012-10-23ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath (ECMP)Nicolas Dichtel
Each nexthop is added like a single route in the routing table. All routes that have the same metric/weight and destination but not the same gateway are considering as ECMP routes. They are linked together, through a list called rt6i_siblings. ECMP routes can be added in one shot, with RTA_MULTIPATH attribute or one after the other (in both case, the flag NLM_F_EXCL should not be set).

2012-10-04ipv6: release reference of ip6_null_entry's dst entry in __ip6_del_rtGao feng
as we hold dst_entry before we call __ip6_del_rt, so we should alse call dst_release not only return -ENOENT when the rt6_info is ip6_null_entry. and we already hold the dst entry, so I think it's safe to call dst_release out of the write-read lock.

IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or deleted, all dst should be invalidated. To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy(). As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
