ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurely
If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a new route for the same target with different metrics fails but rewrites the metrics anyway: 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1s 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500 RTNETLINK answers: File exists 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1.5s This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add() rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being used at all. Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear unexpectedly for a new route, e.g. 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer (even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that. v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa) v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to net-next as it is quite late in the cycle. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
