ipv6: some ipv6 statistic counters failed to disable bh

2014-04-27T00:13:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 43a43b6040165f7b40b5b489fe61a4cb7f8c4980 ]

After commit c15b1ccadb323ea ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify
processing to workqueue") some counters are now updated in process context
and thus need to disable bh before doing so, otherwise deadlocks can
happen on 32-bit archs. Fabio Estevam noticed this while while mounting
a NFS volume on an ARM board.

As a compensation for missing this I looked after the other *_STATS_BH
and found three other calls which need updating:

1) icmp6_send: ip6_fragment -> icmpv6_send -> icmp6_send (error handling)
2) ip6_push_pending_frames: rawv6_sendmsg -> rawv6_push_pending_frames -> ...
   (only in case of icmp protocol with raw sockets in error handling)
3) ping6_v6_sendmsg (error handling)

ipv6: ip6_append_data_mtu do not handle the mtu of the second fragment properly

2014-04-27T00:13:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit e367c2d03dba4c9bcafad24688fadb79dd95b218 ]

In ip6_append_data_mtu(), when the xfrm mode is not tunnel(such as
transport),the ipsec header need to be added in the first fragment, so the mtu
will decrease to reserve space for it, then the second fragment come, the mtu
should be turn back, as the commit 0c1833797a5a6ec23ea9261d979aa18078720b74
said.  however, in the commit a493e60ac4bbe2e977e7129d6d8cbb0dd236be, it use
*mtu = min(*mtu, ...) to change the mtu, which lead to the new mtu is alway
equal with the first fragment's. and cannot turn back.

when I test through  ping6 -c1 -s5000 $ip (mtu=1280):
...frag (0|1232) ESP(spi=0x00002000,seq=0xb), length 1232
...frag (1232|1216)
...frag (2448|1216)
...frag (3664|1216)
...frag (4880|164)

which should be:
...frag (0|1232) ESP(spi=0x00001000,seq=0x1), length 1232
...frag (1232|1232)
...frag (2464|1232)
...frag (3696|1232)
...frag (4928|116)

so delete the min() when change back the mtu.

ipv6: Avoid unnecessary temporary addresses being generated

2014-04-27T00:13:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit ecab67015ef6e3f3635551dcc9971cf363cc1cd5 ]

tmp_prefered_lft is an offset to ifp->tstamp, not now. Therefore
age needs to be added to the condition.

Age calculation in ipv6_create_tempaddr is different from the one
in addrconf_verify and doesn't consider ADDRCONF_TIMER_FUZZ_MINUS.
This can cause age in ipv6_create_tempaddr to be less than the one
in addrconf_verify and therefore unnecessary temporary address to
be generated.
Use age calculation as in addrconf_modify to avoid this.

ipv6: don't set DST_NOCOUNT for remotely added routes

[ Upstream commit c88507fbad8055297c1d1e21e599f46960cbee39 ]

DST_NOCOUNT should only be used if an authorized user adds routes
locally. In case of routes which are added on behalf of router
advertisments this flag must not get used as it allows an unlimited
number of routes getting added remotely.

net: ip, ipv6: handle gso skbs in forwarding path

2014-03-11T23:09:59+00:00

commit fe6cc55f3a9a053482a76f5a6b2257cee51b4663 upstream.

[ use zero netdev_feature mask to avoid backport of
  netif_skb_dev_features function ]

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path
has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO.

Given:
Host  R1  R2

Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2.  R1 performs GRO.

In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed
messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu
checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding
the mtu.

When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does
not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out
packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu.

This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso
segment lengths into account.

For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual
segments are too big.

For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit
is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path
create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine.
It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of
the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to
work fine in my (limited) tests.

Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid
sofware segmentation.

However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related
to mss size so we would BUG there.  I don't want to mess with it considering
Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be.

Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size
skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where
SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded.

This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4
non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small.  Its not perfect,
but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a
rare case anyway.  Also its not like this could not be improved later
once the dust settles.

net: avoid reference counter overflows on fib_rules in multicast forwarding

2014-02-06T19:05:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 95f4a45de1a0f172b35451fc52283290adb21f6e ]

Bob Falken reported that after 4G packets, multicast forwarding stopped
working. This was because of a rule reference counter overflow which
freed the rule as soon as the overflow happend.

This patch solves this by adding the FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF flag to
fib_rules_lookup calls. This is safe even from non-rcu locked sections
as in this case the flag only implies not taking a reference to the rule,
which we don't need at all.

Rules only hold references to the namespace, which are guaranteed to be
available during the call of the non-rcu protected function reg_vif_xmit
because of the interface reference which itself holds a reference to
the net namespace.

ipv6: don't count addrconf generated routes against gc limit

2014-01-15T23:27:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit a3300ef4bbb1f1e33ff0400e1e6cf7733d988f4f ]

Brett Ciphery reported that new ipv6 addresses failed to get installed
because the addrconf generated dsts where counted against the dst gc
limit. We don't need to count those routes like we currently don't count
administratively added routes.

Because the max_addresses check enforces a limit on unbounded address
generation first in case someone plays with router advertisments, we
are still safe here.

IPv6 stats are 64 bits and thus are protected with a seqlock. By not

inet: fix addr_len/msg->msg_namelen assignment in recv_error and rxpmtu functions

[ Upstream commit 85fbaa75037d0b6b786ff18658ddf0b4014ce2a4 ]

Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage
of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated
addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu
functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before.

As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those
functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr
length.

This broke traceroute and such.
