ipv6: Check rt->dst.from for the DST_NOCACHE route

2015-12-15T05:25:35Z

[ Upstrem commit 02bcf4e082e4dc634409a6a6cb7def8806d6e5e6 ] All DST_NOCACHE rt6_info used to have rt->dst.from set to its parent. After commit 8e3d5be73681 ("ipv6: Avoid double dst_free"), DST_NOCACHE is also set to rt6_info which does not have a parent (i.e. rt->dst.from is NULL). This patch catches the rt->dst.from == NULL case. Fixes: 8e3d5be73681 ("ipv6: Avoid double dst_free") Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Cc: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: Create percpu rt6_info

2015-05-25T17:25:35Z

After the patch 'ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception', we need to compensate the performance hit (bouncing dst->__refcnt). Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Cc: Hannes Frederic Sowa Cc: Steffen Klassert Cc: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Keep track of DST_NOCACHE routes in case of iface down/unregister

2015-05-25T17:25:34Z

This patch keeps track of the DST_NOCACHE routes in a list and replaces its dev with loopback during the iface down/unregister event. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Cc: Hannes Frederic Sowa Cc: Steffen Klassert Cc: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Create RTF_CACHE clone when FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH is set

2015-05-25T17:25:34Z

This patch always creates RTF_CACHE clone with DST_NOCACHE when FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH is set so that the rt6i_dst is set to the fl6->daddr.

ipv6: Add rt6_get_cookie() function

2015-05-25T17:25:34Z

Instead of doing the rt6->rt6i_node check whenever we need to get the route's cookie. Refactor it into rt6_get_cookie(). It is a prep work to handle FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH and also percpu rt6_info later.

ipv6: Remove DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE and _rt6i_peer

2015-05-02T00:57:06Z

_rt6i_peer is no longer needed after the last patch, 'ipv6: Stop rt6_info from using inet_peer's metrics'. DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE is added by commit e5fd387ad5b3 ("ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurely"). Since inetpeer is no longer used for metrics, this bit is also not needed.

ipv6: Stop rt6_info from using inet_peer's metrics

2015-05-02T00:57:06Z

inet_peer is indexed by the dst address alone. However, the fib6 tree could have multiple routing entries (rt6_info) for the same dst. For example, 1. A /128 dst via multiple gateways. 2. A RTF_CACHE route cloned from a /128 route. In the above cases, all of them will share the same metrics and step on each other. This patch will steer away from inet_peer's metrics and use dst_cow_metrics_generic() for everything. Change Highlights: 1. Remove rt6_cow_metrics() which currently acquires metrics from inet_peer for DST_HOST route (i.e. /128 route). 2. Add rt6i_pmtu to take care of the pmtu update to avoid creating a full size metrics just to override the RTAX_MTU. 3. After (2), the RTF_CACHE route can also share the metrics with its dst.from route, by: dst_init_metrics(&cache_rt->dst, dst_metrics_ptr(cache_rt->dst.from), true); 4. Stop creating RTF_CACHE route by cloning another RTF_CACHE route. Instead, directly clone from rt->dst. [ Currently, cloning from another RTF_CACHE is only possible during rt6_do_redirect(). Also, the old clone is removed from the tree immediately after the new clone is added. ] In case of cloning from an older redirect RTF_CACHE, it should work as before. In case of cloning from an older pmtu RTF_CACHE, this patch will forget the pmtu and re-learn it (if there is any) from the redirected route. The _rt6i_peer and DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE will be removed in the next cleanup patch.

net: fib6: convert cfg metric to u32 outside of table write lock

2015-01-06T03:55:24Z

Do the nla validation earlier, outside the write lock. This is needed by followup patch which needs to be able to call request_module (which can sleep) if needed. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
