net: ipv6: Allow shorthand delete of all nexthops in multipath route

2017-02-05T00:58:14Z

IPv4 allows multipath routes to be deleted using just the prefix and length. For example: $ ip ro ls vrf red unreachable default metric 8192 1.1.1.0/24 nexthop via 10.100.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1 nexthop via 10.11.200.2 dev eth11.200 weight 1 10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3 10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3 $ ip ro del 1.1.1.0/24 vrf red $ ip ro ls vrf red unreachable default metric 8192 10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3 10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3 The same notation does not work with IPv6 because of how multipath routes are implemented for IPv6. For IPv6 only the first nexthop of a multipath route is deleted if the request contains only a prefix and length. This leads to unnecessary complexity in userspace dealing with IPv6 multipath routes. This patch allows all nexthops to be deleted without specifying each one in the delete request. Internally, this is done by walking the sibling list of the route matching the specifications given (prefix, length, metric, protocol, etc). $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:200::/120 via 2001:db8:1::2 dev eth1 metric 1024 pref medium 2001:db8:200::/120 via 2001:db8:2::2 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium ... $ ip -6 ro del vrf red 2001:db8:200::/120 $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium ... Because IPv6 allows individual nexthops to be deleted without deleting the entire route, the ip6_route_multipath_del and non-multipath code path (ip6_route_del) have to be discriminated so that all nexthops are only deleted for the latter case. This is done by making the existing fc_type in fib6_config a u16 and then adding a new u16 field with fc_delete_all_nh as the first bit.

net: ipv6: Fix processing of RAs in presence of VRF

2016-10-27T20:30:52Z

rt6_add_route_info and rt6_add_dflt_router were updated to pull the FIB table from the device index, but the corresponding rt6_get_route_info and rt6_get_dflt_router functions were not leading to the failure to process RA's: ICMPv6: RA: ndisc_router_discovery failed to add default route Fix the 'get' functions by using the table id associated with the device when applicable. Also, now that default routes can be added to tables other than the default table, rt6_purge_dflt_routers needs to be updated as well to look at all tables. To handle that efficiently, add a flag to the table denoting if it is has a default route via RA.

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

2015-11-15T22:12:37Z

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. Miller

ipv6: include NLM_F_REPLACE in route replace notifications

route: move lwtunnel state to dst_entry

2015-08-20T22:42:36Z

Currently, the lwtunnel state resides in per-protocol data. This is a problem if we encapsulate ipv6 traffic in an ipv4 tunnel (or vice versa). The xmit function of the tunnel does not know whether the packet has been routed to it by ipv4 or ipv6, yet it needs the lwtstate data. Moving the lwtstate data to dst_entry makes such inter-protocol tunneling possible. As a bonus, this brings a nice diffstat.

ipv6: Create percpu rt6_info

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: 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.
