ICMPv6: treat dest unreachable codes 5 and 6 as EACCES, not EPROTO

2013-09-14T12:50:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 61e76b178dbe7145e8d6afa84bb4ccea71918994 ]

RFC 4443 has defined two additional codes for ICMPv6 type 1 (destination
unreachable) messages:
        5 - Source address failed ingress/egress policy
	6 - Reject route to destination

Now they are treated as protocol error and icmpv6_err_convert() converts them
to EPROTO.

RFC 4443 says:
	"Codes 5 and 6 are more informative subsets of code 1."

Treat codes 5 and 6 as code 1 (EACCES)

Btw, connect() returning -EPROTO confuses firefox, so that fallback to
other/IPv4 addresses does not work:

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: Make icmp route lookup code a bit clearer.

2011-03-02T06:07:37+00:00

The route lookup code in icmpv6_send() is slightly tricky as a result of
having to handle all of the requirements of RFC 4301 host relookups.

Pull the route resolution into a seperate function, so that the error
handling and route reference counting is hopefully easier to see and
contained wholly within this new routine.

inetpeer: Move ICMP rate limiting state into inet_peer entries.

2011-02-04T23:59:53+00:00

Like metrics, the ICMP rate limiting bits are cached state about
a destination.  So move it into the inet_peer entries.

If an inet_peer cannot be bound (the reason is memory allocation
failure or similar), the policy is to allow.

ipv6: fix ICMP6_MIB_OUTERRORS

2010-06-10T01:39:27+00:00

In commit 1f8438a85366 (icmp: Account for ICMP out errors), I did a typo
on IPV6 side, using ICMP6_MIB_OUTMSGS instead of ICMP6_MIB_OUTERRORS
