2007-02-08[NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocationsPatrick McHardy
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).

2007-01-23[IPV6] MCAST: Fix joining all-node multicast group on device initialization.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
Join all-node multicast group after assignment of dev->ip6_ptr because it must be assigned when ipv6_dev_mc_inc() is called. This fixes Bug#7817, reported by <gernoth@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>.

2007-01-04[IPV4/IPV6]: Fix inet{,6} device initialization order.David L Stevens
It is important that we only assign dev->ip{,6}_ptr only after all portions of the inet{,6} are setup. Otherwise we can receive packets before the multicast spinlocks et al. are initialized. Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-12-02[IPv6] iflink: Convert IPv6's RTM_GETLINK to use the new netlink apiThomas Graf
By replacing the current method of exporting the device configuration which included allocating a temporary buffer, copying ipv6_devconf into it and copying that buffer into the message with a method that uses nla_reserve() allowing to copy the device configuration directly into the skb data buffer, a GFP_ATOMIC allocation could be removed.

IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS is introduced for Mobile IPv6 Home Addresses on Mobile Node. The IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS flag should be set for Mobile IPv6 Home Addresses for 2 purposes. 1) We need to check this on receipt of Type 2 Routing Header (RFC3775 Secion 6.4), 2) We prefer Home Address(es) in source address selection (RFC3484 Section 5 Rule 4).

2006-09-22[IPV6] address: Support NLM_F_EXCL when adding addressesThomas Graf
iproute2 doesn't provide the NLM_F_CREATE flag when adding addresses, it is assumed to be implied. The existing code issues a check on said flag when the modify operation fails (likely due to ENOENT) before continueing to create it, this leads to a hard to predict result, therefore the NLM_F_CREATE check is removed.

2006-08-29[IPV6]: ipv6_add_addr should install dstentry earlierKeir Fraser
ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet. One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the assignment.

2006-07-12[IPV6]: Use ipv6_addr_src_scope for link address sorting.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
In the source address selection, the address must be sorted from global to node-local. But, ifp->scope is different from the scope for source address selection. 2001::1 fe80::1 ::1 ifp->scope 0 0x02 0x01 ipv6_addr_src_scope(&ifp->addr) 0x0e 0x02 0x01 So, we need to use ipv6_addr_src_scope(&ifp->addr) for sorting. And, for backward compatibility, addresses should be sorted from new one to old one.
