Eric Dumazet 9ff264492f ip6_tunnel: dont drop packet but consume it
When we need to reallocate skb, we dont drop a packet.
Call consume_skb() to not confuse dropwatch.

Alex Copot aacd9289af tcp: bind() use stronger condition for bind_conflict
We must try harder to get unique (addr, port) pairs when
doing port autoselection for sockets with SO_REUSEADDR
option set.

We achieve this by adding a relaxation parameter to
inet_csk_bind_conflict. When 'relax' parameter is off
we return a conflict whenever the current searched
pair (addr, port) is not unique.

This tries to address the problems reported in patch:
	8d238b25b1
	Revert "tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound"

Tests where ran for creating and binding(0) many sockets
on 100 IPs. The results are, on average:

	* 60000 sockets, 600 ports / IP:
		* 0.210 s, 620 (IP, port) duplicates without patch
		* 0.219 s, no duplicates with patch
	* 100000 sockets, 1000 ports / IP:
		* 0.371 s, 1720 duplicates without patch
		* 0.373 s, no duplicates with patch
	* 200000 sockets, 2000 ports / IP:
		* 0.766 s, 6900 duplicates without patch
		* 0.768 s, no duplicates with patch
	* 500000 sockets, 5000 ports / IP:
		* 2.227 s, 41500 duplicates without patch
		* 2.284 s, no duplicates with patch

Gao feng 1716a96101 ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache
If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet.
this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag.
So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run.

Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires.
When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use.
we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from.
The dst.from is only used in IPV6.

rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired.

ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.

Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together.
and change the code to use these new adding functions.

Changes from v5:
modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions.

Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

Eldad Zack c1412fce7e net/ipv6/exthdrs.c: Strict PadN option checking
Added strict checking of PadN, as PadN can be used to increase header
size and thus push the protocol header into the 2nd fragment.

PadN is used to align the options within the Hop-by-Hop or
Destination Options header to 64-bit boundaries. The maximum valid
size is thus 7 bytes.
RFC 4942 recommends to actively check the "payload" itself and
ensure that it contains only zeroes.

See also RFC 4942 section 2.1.9.5.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix bluetooth userland regression reported by Keith Packard, from
    Gustavo Padovan.

 2) Revert ath9k PS idle change, from Sujith Manoharan.

 3) Correct default TCP memory limits (again), from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Fix tcp_rcv_rtt_update() accidental use of unscaled RTT, from Neal
    Cardwell.

 5) We made a facility for layers like wireless to say how much tailroom
    they need in the SKB for link layer stuff such as wireless
    encryption etc., but TCP works hard to fill every SKB out to the end
    defeating this specification.

    This leads to every TCP packet getting reallocated by the wireless
    code in order to have the right amount of tailroom available.

    Fix TCP to only fill SKBs out to the real amount of data area it
    asked for during the allocation, this way it won't eat into the
    slack added for the device's tailroom needs.

    Reported by Marc Merlin and fixed by Eric Dumazet.

 6) Leaks, endian bugs, and new device IDs in bluetooth from Santosh
    Nayak, João Paulo Rechi Vita, Cho, Yu-Chen, Andrei Emeltchenko,
    AceLan Kao, and Andrei Emeltchenko.

 7) OOPS on tty_close fix in bluetooth's hci_ldisc from Johan Hovold.

 8) netfilter erroneously scales TCP window twice, fix from Changli Gao.

 9) Memleak fix in wext-core from Julia Lawall.

Shmulik Ladkani 72331bc0cd ipv6: Fix RTM_GETROUTE's interpretation of RTA_IIF to be consistent with ipv4
In IPv4, if an RTA_IIF attribute is specified within an RTM_GETROUTE
message, then a route is searched as if a packet was received on the
specified 'iif' interface.

However in IPv6, RTA_IIF is not interpreted in the same way:
'inet6_rtm_getroute()' always calls 'ip6_route_output()', regardless the
RTA_IIF attribute.

As a result, in IPv6 there's no way to use RTM_GETROUTE in order to look
for a route as if a packet was received on a specific interface.

Fix 'inet6_rtm_getroute()' so that RTA_IIF is interpreted as "lookup a
route as if a packet was received on the specified interface", similar
to IPv4's 'inet_rtm_getroute()' interpretation.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

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.

   the neighbour must be obtained using the destination address in
   ipv4/ipv6 header as the lookup key.

2) Everything else, the actual nexthop route address.

So if the gateway is not inaddr-any we use it, otherwise we must use
the packet's destination address.

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.

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.

This is caused by bridge netfilter special dst_entry (fake_rtable), a
special shared entry, where attaching an inetpeer makes no sense.

Problem is present since commit 87c48fa3b4 (ipv6: make fragment
identifications less predictable)

Introduce DST_NOPEER dst flag and make sure ipv6_select_ident() and
__ip_select_ident() fallback to the 'no peer attached' handling.

David S. Miller b43faac690 ipv6: If neigh lookup fails during icmp6 dst allocation, propagate error.
Don't just succeed with a route that has a NULL neighbour attached.
This follows the behavior of addrconf_dst_alloc().

Allowing this kind of route to end up with a NULL neigh attached will
result in packet drops on output until the route is somehow
invalidated, since nothing will meanwhile try to lookup the neigh
again.

A statistic is bumped for the case where we see a neigh-less route on
output, but the resulting packet drop is otherwise silent in nature,
and frankly it's a hard error for this to happen and ipv6 should do
what ipv4 does which is say something in the kernel logs.

Glauber Costa 180d8cd942 foundations of per-cgroup memory pressure controlling.
This patch replaces all uses of struct sock fields' memory_pressure,
memory_allocated, sockets_allocated, and sysctl_mem to acessor
macros. Those macros can either receive a socket argument, or a mem_cgroup
argument, depending on the context they live in.

Since we're only doing a macro wrapping here, no performance impact at all is
expected in the case where we don't have cgroups disabled.

Ted Feng 72b36015ba ipip, sit: copy parms.name after register_netdevice
Same fix as 731abb9cb2 for ipip and sit tunnel.
Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in
ipip_tunnel_locate and ipip6_tunnel_locate, because register_netdevice
will now create a valid name, however the tunnel keeps a copy of the
name in the private parms structure. Fix this by copying the name back
after register_netdevice has successfully returned.

This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show:

$ sudo ip tunnel add mode ipip remote 10.2.20.211
$ ip tunnel
tunl0: ip/ip  remote any  local any  ttl inherit  nopmtudisc
tunl%d: ip/ip  remote 10.2.20.211  local any  ttl inherit
$ sudo ip tunnel add mode sit remote 10.2.20.212
$ ip tunnel
sit0: ipv6/ip  remote any  local any  ttl 64  nopmtudisc 6rd-prefix 2002::/16
sit%d: ioctl 89f8 failed: No such device
sit%d: ipv6/ip  remote 10.2.20.212  local any  ttl inherit

Li Wei 4af04aba93 ipv6: Fix for adding multicast route for loopback device automatically.
There is no obvious reason to add a default multicast route for loopback
devices, otherwise there would be a route entry whose dst.error set to
-ENETUNREACH that would blocking all multicast packets.

====================

[ more detailed explanation ]

The problem is that the resulting routing table depends on the sequence
of interface's initialization and in some situation, that would block all
muticast packets. Suppose there are two interfaces on my computer
(lo and eth0), if we initailize 'lo' before 'eth0', the resuting routing
table(for multicast) would be

# ip -6 route show | grep ff00::
unreachable ff00::/8 dev lo metric 256 error -101
ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256

When sending multicasting packets, routing subsystem will return the first
route entry which with a error set to -101(ENETUNREACH).

I know the kernel will set the default ipv6 address for 'lo' when it is up
and won't set the default multicast route for it, but there is no reason to
stop 'init' program from setting address for 'lo', and that is exactly what
systemd did.

I am sure there is something wrong with kernel or systemd, currently I preferred
kernel caused this problem.
