ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragment

2012-06-09T15:33:02Z

[ Upstream commit 0c1833797a5a6ec23ea9261d979aa18078720b74 ] Since commit ad0081e43a "ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed" the fragment of packets is incorrect. because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments, while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the first fragment and the trailer to the last. so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first or last. with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu) and does not trigger slow fragment path. Changes from v1: though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete. replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL. add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()

2012-02-13T19:06:13Z

[ Upstream commit d3aaeb38c40e5a6c08dd31a1b64da65c4352be36, along with dependent backports of commits: 69cce1d1404968f78b177a0314f5822d5afdbbfb 9de79c127cccecb11ae6a21ab1499e87aa222880 218fa90f072e4aeff9003d57e390857f4f35513e 580da35a31f91a594f3090b7a2c39b85cb051a12 f7e57044eeb1841847c24aa06766c8290c202583 e049f28883126c689cf95859480d9ee4ab23b7fa ] 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.

ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.

2011-07-02T00:30:43Z

IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dst: catch uninitialized metrics

Catch cases where dst_metric_set() and other functions are called but _metrics is NULL. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Kill RT_CACHE_DEBUG

2011-05-18T22:23:21Z

It's way past it's usefulness. And this gets rid of a bunch of stray ->rt_{dst,src} references. Even the comment documenting the macro was inaccurate (stated default was 1 when it's 0). If reintroduced, it should be done properly, with dynamic debug facilities. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Make dst_alloc() take more explicit initializations.

2011-04-29T05:25:59Z

Now the dst->dev, dev->obsolete, and dst->flags values can be specified as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Remove KERNEL cpp checks from include/net

2011-04-24T17:54:56Z

These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any __KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous. Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility sources and try to use them there. If they insist on doing so, the onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.

dst: Clone child entry in skb_dst_pop

2011-03-28T00:55:01Z

We clone the child entry in skb_dst_pop before we call skb_dst_drop(). Otherwise we might kill the child right before we return it to the caller. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

xfrm: Handle blackhole route creation via afinfo.

That way we don't have to potentially do this in every xfrm_lookup() caller. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
