Eric Dumazet 94f826b807 net: fix a potential rcu_read_lock() imbalance in rt6_fill_node()
Commit f2c31e32b3 (net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir() )
added a regression in rt6_fill_node(), leading to rcu_read_lock()
imbalance.

Thats because NLA_PUT() can make a jump to nla_put_failure label.

Fix this by using nla_put()

Many thanks to Ben Greear for his help

Rusty Russell 523f610e1b netfilter: remove forward module param confusion.
It used to be an int, and it got changed to a bool parameter at least
7 years ago.  It happens that NF_ACCEPT and NF_DROP are 0 and 1, so
this works, but it's unclear, and the check that it's in range is not
required.

Gao feng 1f85851e17 ipv6: fix incorrent ipv6 ipsec packet fragment
Since commit 299b0767(ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem)
In func ip6_append_data,after call skb_put(skb, fraglen + dst_exthdrlen)
the skb->len contains dst_exthdrlen,and we don't reduce dst_exthdrlen at last
This will make fraggap>0 in next "while cycle",and cause the size of skb incorrent

Fix this by reserve headroom for dst_exthdrlen.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 5097846230 netfilter: add cttimeout infrastructure for fine timeout tuning
This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning
over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT
subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some
specific timeout policy for one flow.

The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object
to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension
infrastructure.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 2c8503f55f netfilter: nf_conntrack: pass timeout array to l4->new and l4->packet
This patch defines a new interface for l4 protocol trackers:

unsigned int *(*get_timeouts)(struct net *net);

that is used to return the array of unsigned int that contains
the timeouts that will be applied for this flow. This is passed
to the l4proto->new(...) and l4proto->packet(...) functions to
specify the timeout policy.

This interface allows per-net global timeout configuration
(although only DCCP supports this by now) and it will allow
custom custom timeout configuration by means of follow-up
patches.

Jiri Benc 4c507d2897 net: implement IP_RECVTOS for IP_PKTOPTIONS
Currently, it is not easily possible to get TOS/DSCP value of packets from
an incoming TCP stream. The mechanism is there, IP_PKTOPTIONS getsockopt
with IP_RECVTOS set, the same way as incoming TTL can be queried. This is
not actually implemented for TOS, though.

This patch adds this functionality, both for IPv4 (IP_PKTOPTIONS) and IPv6
(IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS). For IPv4, like in the IP_RECVTTL case, the value of
the TOS field is stored from the other party's ACK.

This is needed for proxies which require DSCP transparency. One such example
is at http://zph.bratcheda.org/.

Shawn Lu 658ddaaf66 tcp: md5: RST: getting md5 key from listener
TCP RST mechanism is broken in TCP md5(RFC2385). When
connection is gone, md5 key is lost, sending RST
without md5 hash is deem to ignored by peer. This can
be a problem since RST help protocal like bgp to fast
recove from peer crash.

In most case, users of tcp md5, such as bgp and ldp,
have listener on both sides to accept connection from peer.
md5 keys for peers are saved in listening socket.

There are two cases in finding md5 key when connection is
lost:
1.Passive receive RST: The message is send to well known port,
tcp will associate it with listner. md5 key is gotten from
listener.

2.Active receive RST (no sock): The message is send to ative
side, there is no socket associated with the message. In this
case, finding listener from source port, then find md5 key from
listener.

we are not loosing sercuriy here:
packet is checked with md5 hash. No RST is generated
if md5 hash doesn't match or no md5 key can be found.

need to allow access to MD5 keys without locking listener socket.

This conversion is a nice cleanup, and shrinks size of timewait sockets

IPv6 code reuses generic code found in IPv4 instead of duplicating it.

Francesco Ruggeri 013d97e9da net: race condition in ipv6 forwarding and disable_ipv6 parameters
There is a race condition in addrconf_sysctl_forward() and
addrconf_sysctl_disable().
These functions change idev->cnf.forwarding (resp. idev->cnf.disable_ipv6)
and then try to grab the rtnl lock before performing any actions.
If that fails they restore the original value and restart the syscall.
This creates race conditions if ipv6 code tries to access
these parameters, or if multiple instances try to do the same operation.
As an example of the former, if __ipv6_ifa_notify() finds a 0 in
idev->cnf.forwarding when invoked by addrconf_ifdown() it may not free
anycast addresses, ultimately resulting in the net_device not being freed.
This patch reads the user parameters into a temporary location and only
writes the actual parameters when the rtnl lock is acquired.
Tested in 2.6.38.8.

Eric Paris fd77846152 security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()
Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received.  Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task.  This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.

Mihai Maruseac 1d5783030a ipv6/addrconf: speedup /proc/net/if_inet6 filling
This ensures a linear behaviour when filling /proc/net/if_inet6 thus making
ifconfig run really fast on IPv6 only addresses. In fact, with this patch and
the IPv4 one sent a while ago, ifconfig will run in linear time regardless of
address type.

Neil Horman e6bff995f8 ipv6: Check RA for sllao when configuring optimistic ipv6 address (v2)
Recently Dave noticed that a test we did in ipv6_add_addr to see if we next hop
route for the interface we're adding an addres to was wrong (see commit
7ffbcecbee).  for one, it never triggers, and two,
it was completely wrong to begin with.  This test was meant to cover this
section of RFC 4429:

3.3 Modifications to RFC 2462 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration

   * (modifies section 5.5) A host MAY choose to configure a new address
        as an Optimistic Address.  A host that does not know the SLLAO
        of its router SHOULD NOT configure a new address as Optimistic.
        A router SHOULD NOT configure an Optimistic Address.

This patch should bring us into proper compliance with the above clause.  Since
we only add a SLAAC address after we've received a RA which may or may not
contain a source link layer address option, we can pass a pointer to that option
to addrconf_prefix_rcv (which may be null if the option is not present), and
only set the optimistic flag if the option was found in the RA.

Change notes:
(v2) modified the new parameter to addrconf_prefix_rcv to be a bool rather than
a pointer to make its use more clear as per request from davem.

Josh Hunt 32b293a53d IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_route
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route
operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses
"write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I
found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea
exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling
"read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize
reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route
table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause
network performance issues.

To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3
cases:
  * doing nothing
  * reading ipv6 route table via proc
    (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done)
  * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink
    (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done)

* Load the ipv6 route table up with:
  * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done

* iperf commands:
  * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr>
  * server: iperf -V -s

* iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec)
  * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927
  * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133
  * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927

lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this
info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces
write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With
this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test.

David S. Miller 8ade06c616 ipv6: Fix neigh lookup using NULL device.
In some of the rt6_bind_neighbour() call sites, it hasn't hooked
up the rt->dst.dev pointer yet, so we'd deref a NULL pointer when
obtaining dev->ifindex for the neighbour hash function computation.

Just pass the netdevice explicitly in to fix this problem.

David S. Miller d191854282 ipv6: Kill rt6i_dev and rt6i_expires defines.
It just obscures that the netdevice pointer and the expires value are
implemented in the dst_entry sub-object of the ipv6 route.

And it makes grepping for dst_entry member uses much harder too.

David S. Miller 2c2aba6c56 ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.
In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers,
we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element.

Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6.
