net: avoid reference counter overflows on fib_rules in multicast forwarding

2014-01-15T01:37:25+00:00

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

2013-09-19T18:11:15+00:00

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.

tunnels: harmonize cleanup done on skb on rx path

2013-09-04T04:27:26+00:00

The goal of this patch is to harmonize cleanup done on a skbuff on rx path.
Before this patch, behaviors were different depending of the tunnel type.

ipmr: change the prototype of ip_mr_forward().

2013-07-24T00:01:05+00:00

This patch changes the prototpye of the ip_mr_forward() method to return void
instead of int.

The ip_mr_forward() method always returns 0; moreover, the return value of this
method is not checked anywhere.

net: remove last caller of skb_tail_offset() and itself

2013-06-11T05:22:23+00:00

Similar to the following commits:

commit 00f97da17a0c8d656d0c9 (netpoll: fix position of network header)
commit 525cebedb32a87fa48584 (pktgen: Fix position of ip and udp header)

using skb_tail_offset() seems not correct since the offset
is based on head pointer.

With the last caller removed, skb_tail_offset() can be killed
finally.

net, ipv4, ipv6: Correct assignment of skb->network_header to skb->tail

2013-05-29T06:49:07+00:00

This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers
fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In
that case skb->tail will be a pointer however skb->network_header is now
an offset.

This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as
an offset regardless of the value of NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET. It seems
that skb->tail that this offset may be more than 64k and some care has been
taken to treat such cases as an error.

net: pass info struct via netdevice notifier

2013-05-28T20:11:01+00:00

So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier
event. This patch provides a possibility to pass custom structure
able to provide info that event listener needs to know.

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.
