drivers/net, ipv6: Select IPv6 fragment idents for virtio UFO packets

2014-11-14T16:59:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5188cd44c55db3e92cd9e77a40b5baa7ed4340f7 ]

UFO is now disabled on all drivers that work with virtio net headers,
but userland may try to send UFO/IPv6 packets anyway.  Instead of
sending with ID=0, we should select identifiers on their behalf (as we
used to).

inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count

2014-08-14T01:38:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

ipv6: protect protocols not handling ipv4 from v4 connection/bind attempts

2014-01-22T00:59:19+00:00

Some ipv6 protocols cannot handle ipv4 addresses, so we must not allow
connecting and binding to them. sendmsg logic does already check msg->name
for this but must trust already connected sockets which could be set up
for connection to ipv4 address family.

Per-socket flag ipv6only is of no use here, as it is under users control
by setsockopt.

ipv6: add a flag to get the flow label used remotly

2014-01-20T01:12:31+00:00

This information is already available via IPV6_FLOWINFO
of IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS, and them a filtering to get the flow label
information. But it is probably logical and easier for users to add this
here, and to control both sent/received flow label values with the
IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR option.

ipv6: move IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT into ipv6.h and define a helper

2014-01-15T23:53:18+00:00

Two places defined IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT, so we should move it into ipv6.h,
and use this macro as possible. And define ip6_tclass helper to return
tclass

ipv6: namespace cleanups

2014-01-02T04:46:09+00:00

Running 'make namespacecheck' shows:
  net/ipv6/route.o
    ipv6_route_table_template
    rt6_bind_peer
  net/ipv6/icmp.o
    icmpv6_route_lookup
    ipv6_icmp_table_template

This addresses some of those warnings by:
 * make icmpv6_route_lookup static
 * move inline's out of ip6_route.h since only used into route.c
 * move rt6_bind_peer into route.c

pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2013-12-19

1) Use the user supplied policy index instead of a generated one
   if present. From Fan Du.

2) Make xfrm migration namespace aware. From Fan Du.

3) Make the xfrm state and policy locks namespace aware. From Fan Du.

4) Remove ancient sleeping when the SA is in acquire state,
   we now queue packets to the policy instead. This replaces the
   sleeping code.

5) Remove FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP. This was used to notify xfrm about the
   posibility to sleep. The sleeping code is gone, so remove it.

6) Check user specified spi for IPComp. Thr spi for IPcomp is only
   16 bit wide, so check for a valid value. From Fan Du.

7) Export verify_userspi_info to check for valid user supplied spi ranges
   with pfkey and netlink. From Fan Du.

8) RFC3173 states that if the total size of a compressed payload and the IPComp
   header is not smaller than the size of the original payload, the IP datagram
   must be sent in the original non-compressed form. These packets are dropped
   by the inbound policy check because they are not transformed. Document the need
   to set 'level use' for IPcomp to receive such packets anyway. From Fan Du.

Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

net: Remove FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP

FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP was used to notify xfrm about the posibility
to sleep until the needed states are resolved. This code is gone,
so FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP is not needed anymore.
