ipmr: fix mfc notification flags

2014-04-14T13:42:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 65886f439ab0fdc2dff20d1fa87afb98c6717472 ]

Commit 8cd3ac9f9b7b ("ipmr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl") reuses the
function ipmr_fill_mroute() to notify mfc events.
But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the
flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification.

Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

net: avoid reference counter overflows on fib_rules in multicast forwarding

2014-02-06T19:08:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 95f4a45de1a0f172b35451fc52283290adb21f6e ]

Bob Falken reported that after 4G packets, multicast forwarding stopped
working. This was because of a rule reference counter overflow which
freed the rule as soon as the overflow happend.

This patch solves this by adding the FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF flag to
fib_rules_lookup calls. This is safe even from non-rcu locked sections
as in this case the flag only implies not taking a reference to the rule,
which we don't need at all.

Rules only hold references to the namespace, which are guaranteed to be
available during the call of the non-rcu protected function reg_vif_xmit
because of the interface reference which itself holds a reference to
the net namespace.

Fixes: d1db275dd3f6e4 ("ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables")

ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed

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

[ Upstream commit 703133de331a7a7df47f31fb9de51dc6f68a9de8 ]

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.

For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.

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

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

ipmr: fix sparse warning when testing origin or group

2013-01-22T19:24:29+00:00

mfc_mcastgrp and mfc_origin are __be32, thus we need to convert INADDR_ANY.
Because INADDR_ANY is 0, this patch just fix sparse warnings.

mcast: add multicast proxy support (IPv4 and IPv6)

2013-01-21T18:55:14+00:00

This patch add the support of proxy multicast, ie being able to build a static
multicast tree. It adds the support of (*,*) and (*,G) entries.

The user should define an (*,*) entry which is not used for real forwarding.
This entry defines the upstream in iif and contains all interfaces from the
static tree in its oifs. It will be used to forward packet upstream when they
come from an interface belonging to the static tree.
Hence, the user should define (*,G) entries to build its static tree. Note that
upstream interface must be part of oifs: packets are sent to all oifs
interfaces except the input interface. This ensures to always join the whole
static tree, even if the packet is not coming from the upstream interface.

ipmr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl

2012-12-04T18:08:11+00:00

This patch allows to monitor mfc activities via rtnetlink.
To avoid parsing two times the mfc oifs, we use maxvif to allocate the rtnl
msg, thus we may allocate some superfluous space.
