From d11327ad6695db8117c78d70611e71102ceec2ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Campbell Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 07:44:16 +0000 Subject: arp_notify: unconditionally send gratuitous ARP for NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS. NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link notifications as a sort of side effect. In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit request from a driver. This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on. This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Signed-off-by: David S.

Miller" Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 13:27:16 -0800 Subject: ipv4: Fix erroneous uses of ifa_address. In usual cases ifa_address == ifa_local, but in the case where SIOCSIFDSTADDR sets the destination address on a point-to-point link, ifa_address gets set to that destination address. Therefore we should use ifa_local when we want the local interface address. There were two cases where the selection was done incorrectly: 1) When devinet_ioctl() does matching, it checks ifa_address even though gifconf correct reported ifa_local to the user 2) IN_DEV_ARP_NOTIFY handling sends a gratuitous ARP using ifa_address instead of ifa_local.
