net: net_secret should not depend on TCP

2013-10-13T23:08:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9a3bab6b05383f1e4c3716b3615500c51285959e ]

A host might need net_secret[] and never open a single socket.

Problem added in commit aebda156a570782
("net: defer net_secret[] initialization")

Based on prior patch from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

gre: Fix GREv4 TCPv6 segmentation.

2013-05-03T20:08:58+00:00

For ipv6 traffic, GRE can generate packet with strange GSO
bits, e.g. ipv4 packet with SKB_GSO_TCPV6 flag set.  Therefore
following patch relaxes check in inet gso handler to allow
such packet for segmentation.
This patch also fixes wrong skb->protocol set that was done in
gre_gso_segment() handler.

net: defer net_secret[] initialization

2013-04-29T19:14:02+00:00

Instead of feeding net_secret[] at boot time, defer the init
at the point first socket is created.

This permits some platforms to use better entropy sources than
the ones available at boot time.

GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code.

2013-03-26T16:27:18+00:00

Following patch refactors GRE code into ip tunneling code and GRE
specific code. Common tunneling code is moved to ip_tunnel module.
ip_tunnel module is written as generic library which can be used
by different tunneling implementations.

ip_tunnel module contains following components:
 - packet xmit and rcv generic code. xmit flow looks like
   (gre_xmit/ipip_xmit)->ip_tunnel_xmit->ip_local_out.
 - hash table of all devices.
 - lookup for tunnel devices.
 - control plane operations like device create, destroy, ioctl, netlink
   operations code.
 - registration for tunneling modules, like gre, ipip etc.
 - define single pcpu_tstats dev->tstats.
 - struct tnl_ptk_info added to pass parsed tunnel packet parameters.

ipip.h header is renamed to ip_tunnel.h

ipv4: Fix ip-header identification for gso packets.

2013-03-25T16:30:25+00:00

ip-header id needs to be incremented even if IP_DF flag is set.
This behaviour was changed in commit 490ab08127cebc25e3a26
(IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification).

Following patch fixes it so that identification is always
incremented.

tunneling: Add generic Tunnel segmentation.

2013-03-09T21:09:17+00:00

Adds generic tunneling offloading support for IPv4-UDP based
tunnels.
GSO type is added to request this offload for a skb.
netdev feature NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL is added for hardware offloaded
udp-tunnel support. Currently no device supports this feature,
software offload is used.

This can be used by tunneling protocols like VXLAN.

net: Kill link between CSUM and SG features.

2013-03-09T21:08:57+00:00

Earlier SG was unset if CSUM was not available for given device to
force skb copy to avoid sending inconsistent csum.
Commit c9af6db4c11c (net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation)
added explicit flag to force copy to fix this issue.  Therefore
there is no need to link SG and CSUM, following patch kills this
link between there two features.

This patch is also required following patch in series.

IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification.

2013-02-25T20:47:41+00:00

GRE-GSO generates ip fragments with id 0,2,3,4... for every
GSO packet, which is not correct. Following patch fixes it
by setting ip-header id unique id of fragments are allowed.
As Eric Dumazet suggested it is optimized by using inner ip-header
whenever inner packet is ipv4.

ipv4: fix error handling in icmp_protocol.

2013-02-22T20:10:18+00:00

Now we handle icmp errors in each transport protocol's err_handler,
for icmp protocols, that is ping_err. Since this handler only care
of those icmp errors triggered by echo request, errors triggered
by echo reply(which sent by kernel) are sliently ignored.

So wrap ping_err() with icmp_err() to deal with those icmp errors.

ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp

2013-02-21T23:15:58+00:00

It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6
sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash
table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very
long list.

We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using
a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR.

inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead
of xoring them.
