ipv6: drop fragmented ndisc packets by default (RFC 6980)

2013-08-29T19:32:08Z

This patch implements RFC6980: Drop fragmented ndisc packets by default. If a fragmented ndisc packet is received the user is informed that it is possible to disable the check. Cc: Fernando Gont Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c include/linux/inetdevice.h The inetdevice.h conflict involves moving the IPV4_DEVCONF values into a UAPI header, overlapping additions of some new entries. The iwlwifi conflict is a context overlap. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: drop packets with multiple fragmentation headers

2013-08-20T07:11:24Z

It is not allowed for an ipv6 packet to contain multiple fragmentation headers. So discard packets which were already reassembled by fragmentation logic and send back a parameter problem icmp. The updates for RFC 6980 will come in later, I have to do a bit more research here. Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: make unsolicited report intervals configurable for mld

2013-08-14T00:05:04Z

Commit cab70040dfd95ee32144f02fade64f0cb94f31a0 ("net: igmp: Reduce Unsolicited report interval to 1s when using IGMPv3") and 2690048c01f32bf45d1c1e1ab3079bc10ad2aea7 ("net: igmp: Allow user-space configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval") by William Manley made igmp unsolicited report intervals configurable per interface and corrected the interval of unsolicited igmpv3 report messages resendings to 1s. Same needs to be done for IPv6: MLDv1 (RFC2710 7.10.): 10 seconds MLDv2 (RFC3810 9.11.): 1 second Both intervals are configurable via new procfs knobs mldv1_unsolicited_report_interval and mldv2_unsolicited_report_interval. (also added .force_mld_version to ipv6_devconf_dflt to bring structs in line without semantic changes) v2: a) Joined documentation update for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD/IGMP unsolicited_report_interval procfs knobs. b) incorporate stylistic feedback from William Manley v3: a) add new DEVCONF_* values to the end of the enum (thanks to David Miller) Cc: Cong Wang Cc: William Manley Cc: Benjamin LaHaise Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: Store Router Alert option in IP6CB directly.

2013-01-14T01:17:14Z

Router Alert option is very small and we can store the value itself in the skb. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Use ipv6_get_dsfield() instead of ipv6_tclass().

2013-01-14T01:17:14Z

Commit 7a3198a8 ("ipv6: helper function to get tclass") introduced ipv6_tclass(), but similar function is already available as ipv6_get_dsfield(). We might be able to call ipv6_tclass() from ipv6_get_dsfield(), but it is confusing to have two versions. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulation

2012-12-09T05:20:28Z

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE). For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware. For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

net: move inet_dport/inet_num in sock_common

2012-11-30T20:02:56Z

commit 68835aba4d9b (net: optimize INET input path further) moved some fields used for tcp/udp sockets lookup in the first cache line of struct sock_common. This patch moves inet_dport/inet_num as well, filling a 32bit hole on 64 bit arches and reducing number of cache line misses in lookups. Also change INET_MATCH()/INET_TW_MATCH() to perform the ports match before addresses match, as this check is more discriminant. Remove the hash check from MATCH() macros because we dont need to re validate the hash value after taking a refcount on socket, and use likely/unlikely compiler hints, as the sk_hash/hash check makes the following conditional tests 100% predicted by cpu. Introduce skc_addrpair/skc_portpair pair values to better document the alignment requirements of the port/addr pairs used in the various MATCH() macros, and remove some casts. The namespace check can also be done at last. This slightly improves TCP/UDP lookup times. IP/TCP early demux needs inet->rx_dst_ifindex and TCP needs inet->min_ttl, lets group them together in same cache line. With help from Ben Hutchings & Joe Perches. Idea of this patch came after Ling Ma proposal to move skc_hash to the beginning of struct sock_common, and should allow him to submit a final version of his patch. My tests show an improvement doing so. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ben Hutchings Cc: Joe Perches Cc: Ling Ma Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: add knob to send unsolicited ND on link-layer address change

2012-11-13T19:27:45Z

This patch introduces a new knob ndisc_notify. If enabled, the kernel will transmit an unsolicited neighbour advertisement on link-layer address change to update the neighbour tables of the corresponding hosts more quickly. This is the equivalent to arp_notify in ipv4 world. Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
