When sending ARP requests over AX.25 links the hwaddress in the neighbour
cache are not getting initialized. For such an incomplete arp entry
ax2asc2 will generate an empty string resulting in /proc/net/arp output
like the following:
$ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device
192.168.122.1 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:00:5d:5f * ens3
172.20.1.99 0x3 0x0 * bpq0
The missing field will confuse the procfs parsing of arp(8) resulting in
incorrect output for the device such as the following:
$ arp
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
gateway ether 52:54:00:00:5d:5f C ens3
172.20.1.99 (incomplete) ens3
This changes the content of /proc/net/arp to:
$ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device
172.20.1.99 0x3 0x0 * * bpq0
192.168.122.1 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:00:5d:5f * ens3
To do so it change ax2asc to put the string "*" in buf for a NULL address
argument. Finally the HW address field is left aligned in a 17 character
field (the length of an ethernet HW address in the usual hex notation) for
readability.

When using ip lwtunnels, the additional data for xmit (basically, the actual
tunnel to use) are carried in ip_tunnel_info either in dst->lwtstate or in
metadata dst. When replying to ARP requests, we need to send the reply to
the same tunnel the request came from. This means we need to construct
proper metadata dst for ARP replies.
We could perform another route lookup to get a dst entry with the correct
lwtstate. However, this won't always ensure that the outgoing tunnel is the
same as the incoming one, and it won't work anyway for IPv4 duplicate
address detection.
The only thing to do is to "reverse" the ip_tunnel_info.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.
As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.
To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.
This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".
In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.
The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp)

br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev
In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.
And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.
We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.
The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

ip_finish_output2 and ip6_finish_output2 where these functions are

Gratuitous arp packets are useful in switchover scenarios to update
client arp tables as quickly as possible. Currently, the mac address
of a neighbour is only updated after a locktime period has elapsed
since the last update. In most use cases such delays are unacceptable
for network admins. Moreover, the "updated" field of the neighbour
stucture doesn't record the last time the address of a neighbour
changed but records any change that happens to the neighbour. This is
clearly a bug since locktime uses that field as meaning "addr_updated".
With this observation, I was able to perpetuate a stale address by
sending a stream of gratuitous arp packets spaced less than locktime
apart. With this change the address is updated when a gratuitous arp
is received and the arp_accept sysctl is set.

Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially
if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver
cannot (and should not) have full state of them.
IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path
and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max
speed and fifo address. This patch removes such inspection by extending
our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well:
max packet size, max speed and fifo. By doing this, The neighbour
module in networking subsystem can cache them.
Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those
information will not be used in the driver when sending.
When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with
the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo. The driver
can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address)
by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using
parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address.
This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6
over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format
in their address resolution protocols.
Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows:
union fwnet_hwaddr {
u8 u[16];
struct {
__be64 uniq_id; /* EUI-64 */
u8 max_rec; /* max packet size */
u8 sspd; /* max speed */
__be16 fifo_hi; /* hi 16bits of FIFO addr */
__be32 fifo_lo; /* lo 32bits of FIFO addr */
} __packed uc;
};
Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full
IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation
Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this
format in detail.
One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734)
is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address
field (aka ar$tha). This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem.

DDOS synflood attacks hit badly IP route cache.
On typical machines, this cache is allowed to hold up to 8 Millions dst
entries, 256 bytes for each, for a total of 2GB of memory.
rt_garbage_collect() triggers and tries to cleanup things.
Eventually route cache is disabled but machine is under fire and might
OOM and crash.
This patch exploits the new TCP early demux, to set a nocache
boolean in case incoming TCP frame is for a not yet ESTABLISHED or
TIMEWAIT socket.
This 'nocache' boolean is then used in case dst entry is not found in
route cache, to create an unhashed dst entry (DST_NOCACHE)
SYN-cookie-ACK sent use a similar mechanism (ipv4: tcp: dont cache
output dst for syncookies), so after this patch, a machine is able to
absorb a DDOS synflood attack without polluting its IP route cache.

Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.
This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.
The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.
This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.
Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.
Example:
$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
$ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local

We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.
The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.
