[INET]: Small possible memory leak in FIB rules

2007-11-11T06:12:03+00:00

This patch fixes a small memory leak. Default fib rules can be deleted by
the user if the rule does not carry FIB_RULE_PERMANENT flag, f.e. by
	ip rule flush

Such a rule will not be freed as the ref-counter has 2 on start and becomes
clearly unreachable after removal.

[IPV4/IPV6/DECNET]: Small cleanup for fib rules.

2007-10-10T23:51:22+00:00

This patch slightly cleanups FIB rules framework. rules_list as a pointer
on struct fib_rules_ops is useless. It is always assigned with a static
per/subsystem list in IPv4, IPv6 and DecNet.

[NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modifications

2007-04-26T05:28:18+00:00

The results of FIB rules lookups are cached in the routing cache
except for IPv6 as no such cache exists. So far, it was the
responsibility of the user to flush the cache after modifying any
rules. This lead to many false bug reports due to misunderstanding
of this concept.

This patch automatically flushes the route cache after inserting
or deleting a rule.

Thanks to Muli Ben-Yehuda  for catching a bug
in the previous patch.

[NET] rules: Unified rules dumping

2007-04-26T05:27:17+00:00

Implements a unified, protocol independant rules dumping function
which is capable of both, dumping a specific protocol family or
all of them. This speeds up dumping as less lookups are required.

[NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage

2007-03-26T01:48:00+00:00

Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.

The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
validation error.

Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
availability of attribute.
