net/ipv6: Correct PIM6 mrt_lock handling

2015-10-03T11:49:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 25b4a44c19c83d98e8c0807a7ede07c1f28eab8b ]

In the IPv6 multicast routing code the mrt_lock was not being released
correctly in the MFC iterator, as a result adding or deleting a MIF would
cause a hang because the mrt_lock could not be acquired.

This fix is a copy of the code for the IPv4 case and ensures that the lock
is released correctly.

netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().

2015-04-07T19:25:55+00:00

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

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.

ip6mr: call del_timer_sync() in ip6mr_free_table()

2015-04-03T00:52:35+00:00

We need to wait for the flying timers, since we
are going to free the mrtable right after it.

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.

The TCP conflicts were overlapping changes.  In 'net' we added a
READ_ONCE() to the socket cached RX route read, whilst in 'net-next'
Eric Dumazet touched the surrounding code dealing with how mini
sockets are handled.

With USB, it's a case of the same bug fix first going into net-next
and then I cherry picked it back into net.

ipmr,ip6mr: implement ndo_get_iflink

dev: introduce dev_get_iflink()

2015-04-02T18:04:59+00:00

The goal of this patch is to prepare the removal of the iflink field. It
introduces a new ndo function, which will be implemented by virtual interfaces.

There is no functional change into this patch. All readers of iflink field
now call dev_get_iflink().

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.

ipv6: coding style: comparison for inequality with NULL

2015-03-31T17:51:54+00:00

The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL
pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is preferred according to
checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter
form.

No changes detected by objdiff.
