* [IPV6]: Update MSS even if MTU is unchanged.Jim Paris2008-01-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed because in ndisc.c, we have: static void ndisc_router_discovery(struct sk_buff *skb) { // ... if (ndopts.nd_opts_mtu) { // ... if (rt) rt->u.dst.metrics[RTAX_MTU-1] = mtu; rt6_mtu_change(skb->dev, mtu); // ... } Since the mtu is set directly here, rt6_mtu_change_route thinks that it is unchanged, and so it fails to update the MSS accordingly. This patch lets rt6_mtu_change_route still update MSS if old_mtu == new_mtu. Signed-off-by: Jim Paris <jim@jtan.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NETNS][DST] dst: pass the dst_ops as parameter to the gc functionsDaniel Lezcano2008-01-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The garbage collection function receive the dst_ops structure as parameter. This is useful for the next incoming patchset because it will need the dst_ops (there will be several instances) and the network namespace pointer (contained in the dst_ops). The protocols which do not take care of the namespaces will not be impacted by this change (expect for the function signature), they do just ignore the parameter.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the kmem_cache_creation fails, the kernel will panic. It is acceptable if the system is booting, but if the ipv6 protocol is compiled as a module and it is loaded after the system has booted, do we want to panic instead of just failing to initialize the protocol ?

This patch checks all calls made for the initilization in order to return a value for the caller.

* [NET]: Eliminate duplicate copies of dst_discardHerbert Xu2008-01-281-17/+4

This patch deletes all of them except dst_discard and points all the users to it. The only non-trivial bit is decnet where it returns an error. However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors. So they should either all return errors or all return zero. For now I've stuck with the majority and picked zero as the return value. It doesn't really matter in practice since few if any driver would react differently depending on a zero return value or NET_RX_DROP.

* [IPV6] ROUTE: Make sending algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki2008-01-201-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We omit (or delay) sending NSes for known-to-unreachable routers (in NUD_FAILED state) according to RFC 4191 (Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes). But this is not fully compatible with RFC 4861 (Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6), which does not remember unreachability of neighbors. So, let's avoid mixing sending algorithm of RFC 4191 and that of RFC 4861, and make the algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861 if RFC 4191 is disabled.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman2007-10-101-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

* [XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.David S. Miller2007-05-241-0/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.David S. Miller2007-03-251-38/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes reachable faster. Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked list of routes at each leaf. The round robin code executes during lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader. A small local spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all for two reasons: 1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with read lock held): walk routes finding head and tail spin_lock(); rotate list using head and tail spin_unlock(); While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed to corrupt the list when it gets the lock. This ends up causing the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting. 2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the lock in that way. So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking semantics. Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer. This way we don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer itself. We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when the entry it is pointing to is removed. The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocationsPatrick McHardy2007-02-081-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug, its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present. This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).
