ipv4: fix wildcard search with inet_confirm_addr()

2013-12-11T19:47:40Z

Help of this function says: "in_dev: only on this interface, 0=any interface", but since commit 39a6d0630012 ("[NETNS]: Process inet_confirm_addr in the correct namespace."), the code supposes that it will never be NULL. This function is never called with in_dev == NULL, but it's exported and may be used by an external module. Because this patch restore the ability to call inet_confirm_addr() with in_dev == NULL, I partially revert the above commit, as suggested by Julian.

neigh: restore old behaviour of default parms values

2013-12-10T01:56:12Z

Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added. Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

[networking]device.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-26T22:06:58Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

ipv4: expose IPV4_DEVCONF

2013-08-23T03:30:15Z

IP sends device configuration (see inet_fill_link_af) as an array in the netlink information, but the indices in that array are not exposed to userspace through any current santized header file. It was available back in 2.6.32 (in /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h) but was broken by: commit 02291680ffba92e5b5865bc0c5e7d1f3056b80ec Author: Eric W.

igmp: hash a hash table to speedup ip_check_mc_rcu()

2013-06-12T07:25:23Z

After IP route cache removal, multicast applications using a lot of multicast addresses hit a O(N) behavior in ip_check_mc_rcu() Add a per in_device hash table to get faster lookup. This hash table is created only if the number of items in mc_list is above 4.

ipv4: introduce address lifetime

2013-01-29T18:59:57Z

There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful. For example: 1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network configuration parameters 2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration 3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop 4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient 5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131. This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism for ipv4 addresses. Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective. Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users. Reported-by: Pavel Šimerda Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Introduce IN_DEV_NET_ROUTE_LOCALNET

2012-08-04T08:27:57Z

performance profiles show a high cost in the IN_DEV_ROUTE_LOCALNET() call done in ip_route_input_slow(), because of multiple dereferences, even if cache lines are clean and available in cpu caches. Since we already have the 'net' pointer, introduce IN_DEV_NET_ROUTE_LOCALNET() macro avoiding two dereferences (dev_net(in_dev->dev)) Also change the tests to use IN_DEV_NET_ROUTE_LOCALNET() only if saddr or/and daddr are loopback addresse.

ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8

2012-06-12T22:25:46Z

Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider packets from that address block martian when routing and do not process corresponding ARP requests. This is a sane default but renders a huge address space practically unuseable. The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests behind a load balancer. This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet' enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing of ARP requests on a specific interface. Note that for the feature to work, the default local route covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed. Example: $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1 $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0 $ ip route flush cache V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Acked-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.
