<title>ipv4: Use newinet-&gt;inet_opt in inet_csk_route_child_sock()</title>

<id>1a7b27c97ce675b42eeb7bfaf6e15c34f35c8f95</id>
<content type='text'>
Since 0e734419923bd ("ipv4: Use inet_csk_route_child_sock() in DCCP and
TCP."), inet_csk_route_child_sock() is called instead of
inet_csk_route_req().

However, after creating the child-sock in tcp/dccp_v4_syn_recv_sock(),
ireq-&gt;opt is set to NULL, before calling inet_csk_route_child_sock().
Thus, inside inet_csk_route_child_sock() opt is always NULL and the
SRR-options are not respected anymore.
Packets sent by the server won't have the correct destination-IP.

This patch fixes it by accessing newinet-&gt;inet_opt instead of ireq-&gt;opt
inside inet_csk_route_child_sock().

In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway
is set and interpreted.

The new interpretation is:

1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph-&gt;daddr

2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway

Abstract the fetching of the proper nexthop value using a new
inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.

Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

This abstracts away the call to dst_ops-&gt;update_pmtu() so that we can
transparently handle the fact that, in the future, the dst itself can
be invalidated by the PMTU update (when we have non-host routes cached
in sockets).

So we try to rebuild the socket cached route after the method
invocation if necessary.

This isn't used by SCTP because it needs to cache dsts per-transport,
and thus will need it's own local version of this helper.

No longer needed.  TCP writes metrics, but now in it's own special
cache that does not dirty the route metrics.  Therefore there is no
longer any reason to pre-cow metrics in this way.

Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting
larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time.

tcp_v4_send_synack()
-&gt;inet_csk_route_req()
 -&gt;ip_route_output_flow()
  -&gt;rt_set_nexthop()

    -&gt;inet_getpeer( create = true)

This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09230 (net: Pre-COW metrics for
TCP) added in 2.6.39

Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS
