Same as in Windows, we miss IPV6_HDRINCL for SOL_IPV6 and SOL_RAW.
The SOL_IP/IP_HDRINCL is not available for IPv6 sockets.

Resolve conflicts between glibc definition of IPV6 socket options
and those defined in Linux headers. Looks like earlier efforts to
solve this did not cover all the definitions.

It resolves warnings during iproute2 build.
Please consider for stable as well.

cb1ce2e ("ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit")
accidentally uses socket option 64, which is already used by ip6tables:

 IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE / IP6T_SO_GET_INFO               64
 IP6T_SO_SET_ADD_COUNTERS / IP6T_SO_GET_ENTRIES       65

There is comment include/uapi/linux/in6.h warning about that.

Allocate 70 for this, which seems to be unused instead.

Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit.
The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will
only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label
manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality
of RFC 6438.

Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior
system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this
functionality per socket.

By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts
with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we
may want to enable it by default.

It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic
flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD,
automatic flow labels default to enabled.

Performance impact:

Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for
IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for
every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case
the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

Automatic flow labels disabled:

  TCP_RR:
    86.53% CPU utilization
    127/195/322 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40498e+06 tps

  UDP_RR:
    90.70% CPU utilization
    118/168/243 90/95/99% latencies
    1.50309e+06 tps

Automatic flow labels enabled:

  TCP_RR:
    85.90% CPU utilization
    128/199/337 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40051e+06

  UDP_RR
    92.61% CPU utilization
    115/164/236 90/95/99% latencies
    1.4687e+06

This option has the same semantic as IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT for IPv4 which
got recently introduced. It doesn't honor the path mtu discovered by the
host but in contrary to IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE allows the generation of
fragments if the packet size exceeds the MTU of the outgoing interface
MTU.

define's to an enum (with no explanation why) which introduced a bug
in module mip6 where aliases are generated using the IPPROTO_* defines;
mip6 doesn't load if require_module called with the aliases from
xfrm_get_type().

Reverting this change back to define's to fix the aliases.

This information is already available via IPV6_FLOWINFO

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.

With this option, the socket will reply with the flow label value read
on received packets.

The goal is to have a connection with the same flow label in both
direction of the communication.

IPV6_PMTU_INTERFACE is the same as IPV6_PMTU_PROBE for ipv6. Add it
nontheless for symmetry with IPv4 sockets. Also drop incoming MTU
information if this mode is enabled.

The additional bit in ipv6_pinfo just eats in the padding behind the
bitfield. There are no changes to the layout of the struct at all.

<title>net: sync some IP headers with glibc</title>

<id>cfd280c91253cc28e4919e349fa7a813b63e71e8</id>
<content type='text'>
Solution:
=========

- Synchronize linux's `include/uapi/linux/in6.h'
  with glibc's `inet/netinet/in.h'.
- Synchronize glibc's `inet/netinet/in.h with linux's
  `include/uapi/linux/in6.h'.
- Allow including the headers in either other.
- First header included defines the structures and macros.

Details:
========

The kernel promises not to break the UAPI ABI so I don't
see why we can't just have the two userspace headers
coordinate?

If you include the kernel headers first you get those,
and if you include the glibc headers first you get those,
and the following patch arranges a coordination and
synchronization between the two.

Let's handle `include/uapi/linux/in6.h' from linux,
and `inet/netinet/in.h' from glibc and ensure they compile
in any order and preserve the required ABI.

These two patches pass the following compile tests:

cat &gt;&gt; test1.c &lt;&lt;EOF
int main (void) {
  return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -c test1.c

cat &gt;&gt; test2.c &lt;&lt;EOF
int main (void) {
  return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -c test2.c

One wrinkle is that the kernel has a different name for one of
the members in ipv6_mreq. In the kernel patch we create a macro
to cover the uses of the old name, and while that's not entirely
clean it's one of the best solutions (aside from an anonymous
union which has other issues).

I've reviewed the code and it looks to me like the ABI is
assured and everything matches on both sides.

Notes:
- You want netinet/in.h to include bits/in.h as early as possible,
  but it needs in_addr so define in_addr early.
- You want bits/in.h included as early as possible so you can use
  the linux specific code to define __USE_KERNEL_DEFS based on
  the _UAPI_* macro definition and use those to cull in.h.
- glibc was missing IPPROTO_MH, added here.

Compile tested and inspected.

coordinate?

If you include the kernel headers first you get those,
and if you include the glibc headers first you get those,
and the following patch arranges a coordination and
synchronization between the two.

Let's handle `include/uapi/linux/in6.h' from linux,
and `inet/netinet/in.h' from glibc and ensure they compile
in any order and preserve the required ABI.

These two patches pass the following compile tests:

cat &gt;&gt; test1.c &lt;&lt;EOF
int main (void) {
  return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -c test1.c

cat &gt;&gt; test2.c &lt;&lt;EOF
int main (void) {
  return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -c test2.c

One wrinkle is that the kernel has a different name for one of
the members in ipv6_mreq. In the kernel patch we create a macro
to cover the uses of the old name, and while that's not entirely
clean it's one of the best solutions (aside from an anonymous
union which has other issues).

I've reviewed the code and it looks to me like the ABI is
assured and everything matches on both sides.

Notes:
- You want netinet/in.h to include bits/in.h as early as possible,
  but it needs in_addr so define in_addr early.
- You want bits/in.h included as early as possible so you can use
  the linux specific code to define __USE_KERNEL_DEFS based on
  the _UAPI_* macro definition and use those to cull in.h.
- glibc was missing IPPROTO_MH, added here.

Compile tested and inspected.
