* ipv6: fix the return interface index when get it while no message is receivedYang Hongyang2008-12-161-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When get receiving interface index while no message is received, the the value seted with setsockopt() should be returned. RFC 3542: Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt(). If no sticky option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following values: - For the IPV6_PKTINFO option, it will return an in6_pktinfo structure with ipi6_addr being in6addr_any and ipi6_ifindex being zero.

* ipv6: Add IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option support to setsockopt()Yang Hongyang2008-12-161-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three reasons for me to add this support: 1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis is used. RFC3542: 6.7. Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the selection of the packet's outgoing interface. This subsection summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic behavior. For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface is determined in the following order: 1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item, the interface is used. 2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option, the interface is used. 2.When no IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data is received,getsockopt() should return the sticky option value which set with setsockopt(). RFC 3542: Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt(). If no sticky option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following values: 3.Make the setsockopt implementation POSIX compliant.

* ipv6: routing header fixesBrian Haley2008-11-121-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes two bugs: 1. setsockopt() of anything but a Type 2 routing header should return EINVAL instead of EPERM. Noticed by Shan Wei (shanwei@cn.fujitsu.com). 2. setsockopt()/sendmsg() of a Type 2 routing header with invalid length or segments should return EINVAL.

First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just like TCP and normal UDP are. We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code with core UDP as possible. All of that work is less valuable if we're just going to slap a config option on udplite support. It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing that the changeset was not tested very well. In fact, this is the second build failure resulting from the udplite change. Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular option. Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed by distribution vendors.

This patch adds support for (index == 0) to reset the value to it's original state, allowing the system to choose the best interface. IPv4 already behaves this way.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBEJohn Heffner2007-04-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_PROBE value for IP(V6)_MTU_DISCOVER. This option forces us not to fragment, but does not make use of the kernel path MTU discovery. That is, it allows for user-mode MTU probing (or, packetization-layer path MTU discovery). This is particularly useful for diagnostic utilities, like traceroute/tracepath.
