ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictable

2011-08-16T01:31:37+00:00

[ Backport of upstream commit 87c48fa3b4630905f98268dde838ee43626a060c ]

Fernando Gont reported current IPv6 fragment identification generation
was not secure, because using a very predictable system-wide generator,
allowing various attacks.

IPv4 uses inetpeer cache to address this problem and to get good
performance. We'll use this mechanism when IPv6 inetpeer is stable
enough in linux-3.1

For the time being, we use jhash on destination address to provide less
predictable identifications. Also remove a spinlock and use cmpxchg() to
get better SMP performance.

net: bind() fix error return on wrong address family

2011-07-05T04:37:41+00:00

Hi,

Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according
to POSIX.

The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use
EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN.

Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far
as a brief look shows:
	EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc
	EINVAL: ax25, bluetooth, decnet, econet, ieee802154, iucv, netlink, netrom, packet, rds, rose, unix, x25,
	No check?: can/raw, ipv6/raw, irda, l2tp/l2tp_ip

Ciao, Marcus

net/ipv6: check for mistakenly passed in non-AF_INET6 sockaddrs

2011-06-06T21:48:16+00:00

Same check as for IPv4, also do for IPv6.

(If you passed in a IPv4 sockaddr_in here, the sizeof check
 in the line before would have triggered already though.)

inet: constify ip headers and in6_addr

2011-04-22T18:04:14+00:00

Add const qualifiers to structs iphdr, ipv6hdr and in6_addr pointers
where possible, to make code intention more obvious.

net: Make flowi ports AF dependent.

2011-03-12T23:08:46+00:00

Create two sets of port member accessors, one set prefixed by fl4_*
and the other prefixed by fl6_*

This will let us to create AF optimal flow instances.

It will work because every context in which we access the ports,
we have to be fully aware of which AF the flowi is anyways.

net: Put flowi_* prefix on AF independent members of struct flowi

2011-03-12T23:08:44+00:00

I intend to turn struct flowi into a union of AF specific flowi
structs.  There will be a common structure that each variant includes
first, much like struct sock_common.

This is the first step to move in that direction.

ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences.

2011-03-01T21:19:07+00:00

Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
__xfrm_lookup().

__xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
-EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).

Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.

All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow.  The latter of which
handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.
