Since commit 299b0767(ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem) In func ip6_append_data,after call skb_put(skb, fraglen + dst_exthdrlen) the skb->len contains dst_exthdrlen,and we don't reduce dst_exthdrlen at last This will make fraggap>0 in next "while cycle",and cause the size of skb incorrent Fix this by reserve headroom for dst_exthdrlen.

2012-03-07netfilter: add cttimeout infrastructure for fine timeout tuningPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+47
This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some specific timeout policy for one flow. The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2012-03-07netfilter: nf_conntrack: pass timeout array to l4->new and l4->packetPablo Neira Ayuso1-3/+10
This patch defines a new interface for l4 protocol trackers: unsigned int *(*get_timeouts)(struct net *net); that is used to return the array of unsigned int that contains the timeouts that will be applied for this flow. This is passed to the l4proto->new(...) and l4proto->packet(...) functions to specify the timeout policy. This interface allows per-net global timeout configuration (although only DCCP supports this by now) and it will allow custom custom timeout configuration by means of follow-up patches.

2012-02-13net: implement IP_RECVTOS for IP_PKTOPTIONSJiri Benc3-0/+9
Currently, it is not easily possible to get TOS/DSCP value of packets from an incoming TCP stream. The mechanism is there, IP_PKTOPTIONS getsockopt with IP_RECVTOS set, the same way as incoming TTL can be queried. This is not actually implemented for TOS, though. This patch adds this functionality, both for IPv4 (IP_PKTOPTIONS) and IPv6 (IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS). For IPv4, like in the IP_RECVTTL case, the value of the TOS field is stored from the other party's ACK. This is needed for proxies which require DSCP transparency.

2012-02-01tcp: md5: RST: getting md5 key from listenerShawn Lu1-2/+41
TCP RST mechanism is broken in TCP md5(RFC2385). When connection is gone, md5 key is lost, sending RST without md5 hash is deem to ignored by peer. This can be a problem since RST help protocal like bgp to fast recove from peer crash. In most case, users of tcp md5, such as bgp and ldp, have listener on both sides to accept connection from peer. md5 keys for peers are saved in listening socket. There are two cases in finding md5 key when connection is lost: 1.Passive receive RST: The message is send to well known port, tcp will associate it with listner. md5 key is gotten from listener. 2.Active receive RST (no sock): The message is send to ative side, there is no socket associated with the message. In this case, finding listener from source port, then find md5 key from listener. we are not loosing sercuriy here: packet is checked with md5 hash. No RST is generated if md5 hash doesn't match or no md5 key can be found. Signed-off-by: Shawn Lu <shawn.lu@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-01-18net: race condition in ipv6 forwarding and disable_ipv6 parametersFrancesco Ruggeri1-21/+40
There is a race condition in addrconf_sysctl_forward() and addrconf_sysctl_disable(). These functions change idev->cnf.forwarding (resp. idev->cnf.disable_ipv6) and then try to grab the rtnl lock before performing any actions. If that fails they restore the original value and restart the syscall. This creates race conditions if ipv6 code tries to access these parameters, or if multiple instances try to do the same operation. As an example of the former, if __ipv6_ifa_notify() finds a 0 in idev->cnf.forwarding when invoked by addrconf_ifdown() it may not free anycast addresses, ultimately resulting in the net_device not being freed. This patch reads the user parameters into a temporary location and only writes the actual parameters when the rtnl lock is acquired. Tested in 2.6.38.8.

2012-01-04ipv6: Check RA for sllao when configuring optimistic ipv6 address (v2)Neil Horman2-3/+5
Recently Dave noticed that a test we did in ipv6_add_addr to see if we next hop route for the interface we're adding an addres to was wrong (see commit 7ffbcecbeed91e5874e9a1cfc4c0cbb07dac3069). for one, it never triggers, and two, it was completely wrong to begin with. This test was meant to cover this section of RFC 4429: 3.3 Modifications to RFC 2462 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration * (modifies section 5.5) A host MAY choose to configure a new address as an Optimistic Address. A host that does not know the SLLAO of its router SHOULD NOT configure a new address as Optimistic. A router SHOULD NOT configure an Optimistic Address. This patch should bring us into proper compliance with the above clause. Since we only add a SLAAC address after we've received a RA which may or may not contain a source link layer address option, we can pass a pointer to that option to addrconf_prefix_rcv (which may be null if the option is not present), and only set the optimistic flag if the option was found in the RA. Change notes: (v2) modified the new parameter to addrconf_prefix_rcv to be a bool rather than a pointer to make its use more clear as per request from davem.

2011-12-30IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_routeJosh Hunt2-1/+21
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses "write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling "read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause network performance issues. To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3 cases: * doing nothing * reading ipv6 route table via proc (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done) * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done) * Load the ipv6 route table up with: * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done * iperf commands: * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr> * server: iperf -V -s * iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec) * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927 * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133 * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927 lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test. Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt <joshhunt00@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It just obscures that the netdevice pointer and the expires value are implemented in the dst_entry sub-object of the ipv6 route. And it makes grepping for dst_entry member uses much harder too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-12-28ipv6: Create fast inline ipv6 neigh lookup just like ipv4.David S. Miller1-19/+22
Also, create and use an rt6_bind_neighbour() in net/ipv6/route.c to consolidate some common logic. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-12-28ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.David S. Miller1-10/+3
In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers, we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element. Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-12-28ipv6: Remove optimistic DAD flag test in ipv6_add_addr()David Miller1-10/+0
The route we have here is for the address being added to the interface, ie. for input packet processing. Therefore using that route to determine whether an output nexthop gateway is known and resolved doesn't make any sense. So, simply remove this test, it never triggered anyways.

2011-12-26ipv6: Kill useless route tracing bits in net/ipv6/route.cDavid S. Miller1-20/+2
RDBG() wasn't even used, and the messages printed by RT6_DEBUG() were far from useful. Just get rid of all this stuff, we can replace it with something more suitable if we want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
