[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

ipv4_{update_pmtu,redirect} were called with tunnel's ifindex (t-&gt;dev is a

Enable the module alias hookup to allow tunnel modules to be autoloaded on demand.

This is in line with how most other netdev kinds work, and will allow userspace

<title>sit: fix double free of fb_tunnel_dev on exit</title>

[ No relevant upstream commit. ]

This problem was fixed upstream by commit 9434266f2c64 ("sit: fix use after free
of fb_tunnel_dev").
The upstream patch depends on upstream commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of
x-netns"), which was not backported into 3.10 branch.

First, explain the problem: when the sit module is unloaded, sit_cleanup() is
called.
rmmod sit
=&gt; sit_cleanup()
  =&gt; rtnl_link_unregister()
    =&gt; __rtnl_kill_links()
      =&gt; for_each_netdev(net, dev) {
        if (dev-&gt;rtnl_link_ops == ops)
        	ops-&gt;dellink(dev, &amp;list_kill);
        }
At this point, the FB device is deleted (and all sit tunnels).
  =&gt; unregister_pernet_device()
    =&gt; unregister_pernet_operations()
      =&gt; ops_exit_list()
        =&gt; sit_exit_net()
          =&gt; sit_destroy_tunnels()
          In this function, no tunnel is found.
          =&gt; unregister_netdevice_queue(sitn-&gt;fb_tunnel_dev, &amp;list);
We delete the FB device a second time here!

Because we cannot simply remove the second deletion (sit_exit_net() must remove
the FB device when a netns is deleted), we add an rtnl ops which delete all sit
device excepting the FB device and thus we can keep the explicit deletion in
sit_exit_net().

rtnl ops where introduced by ba3e3f50a0e5 ("sit: advertise tunnel param via

Now that it is done, we must remove the explicit call to

in sit_destroy_tunnels() when checking rtnl_link_ops of all netdevices (this
is valid since commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of x-netns")).

anti-spoofing commit 218774dc ("ipv6: add anti-spoofing checks for

not match the IPv4 destination. This patch will allow them to pass by
testing if we have an address that matches on 6to4/6rd interface.  I
have been hit by this problem using Fedora and IPV6TO4_IPV4ADDR.
Also, log the dropped packets (with rate limit).

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.

anti-spoofing checks for 6to4 and 6rd") the sit driver dropped packets
for 2002::/16 destinations and sources even when configured to work as a

checks if the device is not in pointopoint mode.

This was an oversight from me in the above commit, sorry.  Thanks to

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)-&gt;ip_tunnel_xmit-&gt;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-&gt;tstats.
 - struct tnl_ptk_info added to pass parsed tunnel packet parameters.

ipip.h header is renamed to ip_tunnel.h
