ipv6: fix the incorrect return value of throw route

2015-10-23T09:38:18+00:00

The error condition -EAGAIN, which is signaled by throw routes, tells
the rules framework to walk on searching for next matches. If the walk
ends and we stop walking the rules with the result of a throw route we
have to translate the error conditions to -ENETUNREACH.

net: ipv6: use common fib_default_rule_pref

2015-09-09T21:19:50+00:00

This switches IPv6 policy routing to use the shared
fib_default_rule_pref() function of IPv4 and DECnet. It is also used in
multicast routing for IPv4 as well as IPv6.

The motivation for this patch is a complaint about iproute2 behaving
inconsistent between IPv4 and IPv6 when adding policy rules: Formerly,
IPv6 rules were assigned a fixed priority of 0x3FFF whereas for IPv4 the
assigned priority value was decreased with each rule added.

Since then all users of the default_pref field have been converted to
assign the generic function fib_default_rule_pref(), fib_nl_newrule()
may just use it directly instead. Therefore get rid of the function
pointer altogether and make fib_default_rule_pref() static, as it's not
used outside fib_rules.c anymore.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/cmd.c
	net/core/fib_rules.c
	net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c

The fib_rules.c and fib_frontend.c conflicts were locking adjustments
in 'net' overlapping addition and removal of code in 'net-next'.

The mlx4 conflict was a bug fix in 'net' happening in the same
place a constant was being replaced with a more suitable macro.

net: move fib_rules_unregister() under rtnl lock

2015-04-03T00:52:34+00:00

We have to hold rtnl lock for fib_rules_unregister()
otherwise the following race could happen:

fib_rules_unregister():	fib_nl_delrule():
...				...
...				ops = lookup_rules_ops();
list_del_rcu(&ops->list);
				list_for_each_entry(ops->rules) {
fib_rules_cleanup_ops(ops);	  ...
  list_del_rcu();		  list_del_rcu();
				}

Note, net->rules_mod_lock is actually not needed at all,
either upper layer netns code or rtnl lock guarantees
we are safe.

netlink: implement nla_get_in_addr and nla_get_in6_addr

2015-03-31T17:58:35+00:00

Those are counterparts to nla_put_in_addr and nla_put_in6_addr.

netlink: implement nla_put_in_addr and nla_put_in6_addr

2015-03-31T17:58:35+00:00

IP addresses are often stored in netlink attributes. Add generic functions
to do that.

For nla_put_in_addr, it would be nicer to pass struct in_addr but this is
not used universally throughout the kernel, in way too many places __be32 is
used to store IPv4 address.

fib6: install fib6 ops in the last step

2015-03-29T19:12:37+00:00

We should not commit the new ops until we finish
all the setup, otherwise we have to NULL it on failure.

ipv6: fix backtracking for throw routes

2015-03-20T16:57:23+00:00

for throw routes to trigger evaluation of other policy rules
EAGAIN needs to be propagated up to fib_rules_lookup
similar to how its done for IPv4

A simple testcase for verification is:

ip -6 rule add lookup 33333 priority 33333
ip -6 route add throw 2001:db8::1
ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 via fe80::1 dev wlan0 table 33333
ip route get 2001:db8::1

ipv6: move IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT into ipv6.h and define a helper

2014-01-15T23:53:18+00:00

Two places defined IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT, so we should move it into ipv6.h,
and use this macro as possible. And define ip6_tclass helper to return

inet: fix NULL pointer Oops in fib(6)_rule_suppress

2013-12-10T22:54:23+00:00

This changes ensures that the routing entry investigated by the suppress
function actually does point to a device struct before following that pointer,
fixing a possible kernel oops situation when verifying the interface group
associated with a routing table entry.

According to Daniel Golle, this Oops can be triggered by a user process trying
to establish an outgoing IPv6 connection while having no real IPv6 connectivity
set up (only autoassigned link-local addresses).
