The memory of the secondary address is leaked and the reference of in_device and net_device is leaked.

Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users. We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz in subsequent commits. An additional size function was added to the following files in order to calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file: include/net/ipv6.h net/ipv6/icmp.c net/ipv6/route.c net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

net: ipv4: Allow changing IPv4 address protocol When IP address protocol field was added in commit 47f0bd503210 ("net: Add new protocol attribute to IP addresses"), the semantics included the ability to change the protocol for IPv6 addresses, but not for IPv4 addresses. It seems this was not deliberate, but rather by accident. A userspace that wants to change the protocol of an address might drop and recreate the address, but that disrupts routing and is just impractical. So in this patch, when an IPv4 address is replaced (through RTM_NEWADDR request with NLM_F_REPLACE flag), update the proto at the address to the one given in the request, or zero if none is given. This matches the behavior of IPv6. Previously, any new value given was simply ignored.

net: devinet: Reduce refcount before grace period Currently, the inetdev_destroy() function waits for an RCU grace period before decrementing the refcount and freeing memory. This causes a delay with a new RCU configuration that tries to save power, which results in the network interface disappearing later than expected. The resulting delay causes test failures on ChromeOS. Refactor the code such that the refcount is freed before the grace period and memory is freed after. With this a ChromeOS network test passes that does 'ip netns del' and polls for an interface disappearing, now passes.

random32: use real rng for non-deterministic randomness random32.c has two random number generators in it: one that is meant to be used deterministically, with some predefined seed, and one that does the same exact thing as random.c, except does it poorly. The first one has some use cases. The second one no longer does and can be replaced with calls to random.c's proper random number generator. The relatively recent siphash-based bad random32.c code was added in response to concerns that the prior random32.c was too deterministic. Out of fears that random.c was (at the time) too slow, this code was anonymously contributed. Then out of that emerged a kind of shadow entropy gathering system, with its own tentacles throughout various net code, added willy nilly. Stop👏making👏bespoke👏random👏number👏generators👏. Fortunately, recent advances in random.c mean that we can stop playing with this sketchiness, and just use get_random_u32(), which is now fast enough. In micro benchmarks using RDPMC, I'm seeing the same median cycle count between the two functions, with the mean being _slightly_ higher due to batches refilling (which we can optimize further need be). However, when doing *real* benchmarks of the net functions that actually use these random numbers, the mean cycles actually *decreased* slightly (with the median still staying the same), likely because the additional prandom code means icache misses and complexity, whereas random.c is generally already being used by something else nearby. The biggest benefit of this is that there are many users of prandom who probably should be using cryptographically secure random numbers. This makes all of those accidental cases become secure by just flipping a switch. Later on, we can do a tree-wide cleanup to remove the static inline wrapper functions that this commit adds. There are also some low-ish hanging fruits for making this even faster in the future: a get_random_u16() function for use in the networking stack will give a 2x performance boost there, using SIMD for ChaCha20 will let us compute 4 or 8 or 16 blocks of output in parallel, instead of just one, giving us large buffers for cheap, and introducing a get_random_*_bh() function that assumes irqs are already disabled will shave off a few cycles for ordinary calls. These are things we can chip away at down the road. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>

memcg: accounting for objects allocated for new netdevice Creating a new netdevice allocates at least ~50Kb of memory for various kernel objects, but only ~5Kb of them are accounted to memcg. As a result, creating an unlimited number of netdevice inside a memcg-limited container does not fall within memcg restrictions, consumes a significant part of the host's memory, can cause global OOM and lead to random kills of host processes. The main consumers of non-accounted memory are: ~10Kb 80+ kernfs nodes ~6Kb ipv6_add_dev() allocations 6Kb __register_sysctl_table() allocations 4Kb neigh_sysctl_register() allocations 4Kb __devinet_sysctl_register() allocations 4Kb __addrconf_sysctl_register() allocations Accounting of these objects allows to increase the share of memcg-related memory up to 60-70% (~38Kb accounted vs ~54Kb total for dummy netdevice on typical VM with default Fedora 35 kernel) and this should be enough to somehow protect the host from misuse inside container. Other related objects are quite small and may not be taken into account to minimize the expected performance degradation. It should be separately mentonied ~300 bytes of percpu allocation of struct ipstats_mib in snmp6_alloc_dev(), on huge multi-cpu nodes it can become the main consumer of memory. This patch does not enables kernfs accounting as it affects other parts of the kernel and should be discussed separately. However, even without kernfs, this patch significantly improves the current situation and allows to take into account more than half of all netdevice allocations.

net: Add new protocol attribute to IP addresses This patch adds a new protocol attribute to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Inspiration was taken from the protocol attribute of routes. User space applications like iproute2 can set/get the protocol with the Netlink API. The attribute is stored as an 8-bit unsigned integer. The protocol attribute is set by kernel for these categories: - IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses - IPv6 addresses generated from router announcements - IPv6 link local addresses User space may pass custom protocols, not defined by the kernel. Grouping addresses on their origin is useful in scenarios where you want to distinguish between addresses based on who added them, e.g. kernel vs. user space. Tagging addresses with a string label is an existing feature that could be used as a solution. Unfortunately the max length of a label is 15 characters, and for compatibility reasons the label must be prefixed with the name of the device followed by a colon. Since device names also have a max length of 15 characters, only -1 characters is guaranteed to be available for any origin tag, which is not that much. A reference implementation of user space setting and getting protocols is available for iproute2: https://github.com/westermo/iproute2/commit/9a6ea18bd79f47f293e5edc7780f315ea42ff540 Signed-off-by: Jacques de Laval <Jacques.De.Laval@westermo.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220217150202.80802-1-Jacques.De.Laval@westermo.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

net: arp: introduce arp_evict_nocarrier sysctl parameter This change introduces a new sysctl parameter, arp_evict_nocarrier. When set (default) the ARP cache will be cleared on a NOCARRIER event. This new option has been defaulted to '1' which maintains existing behavior. Clearing the ARP cache on NOCARRIER is relatively new, introduced by: commit 859bd2ef1fc1110a8031b967ee656c53a6260a76 Author: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Date: Thu Oct 11 20:33:49 2018 -0700 net: Evict neighbor entries on carrier down The reason for this changes is to prevent the ARP cache from being cleared when a wireless device roams. Specifically for wireless roams the ARP cache should not be cleared because the underlying network has not changed. Clearing the ARP cache in this case can introduce significant delays sending out packets after a roam. A user reported such a situation here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CACsRnHWa47zpx3D1oDq9JYnZWniS8yBwW1h0WAVZ6vrbwL_S0w@mail.gmail.com/ After some investigation it was found that the kernel was holding onto packets until ARP finished which resulted in this 1 second delay. It was also found that the first ARP who-has was never responded to, which is actually what caues the delay. This change is more or less working around this behavior, but again, there is no reason to clear the cache on a roam anyways. As for the unanswered who-has, we know the packet made it OTA since it was seen while monitoring. Why it never received a response is unknown. In any case, since this is a problem on the AP side of things all that can be done is to work around it until it is solved. Some background on testing/reproducing the packet delay: Hardware: - 2 access points configured for Fast BSS Transition (Though I don't see why regular reassociation wouldn't have the same behavior) - Wireless station running IWD as supplicant - A device on network able to respond to pings (I used one of the APs) Procedure: - Connect to first AP - Ping once to establish an ARP entry - Start a tcpdump - Roam to second AP - Wait for operstate UP event, and note the timestamp - Start pinging Results: Below is the tcpdump after UP. It was recorded the interface went UP at 10:42:01.432875. 10:42:01.461871 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.254.1 tell 192.168.254.71, length 28 10:42:02.497976 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.254.1 tell 192.168.254.71, length 28 10:42:02.507162 ARP, Reply 192.168.254.1 is-at ac:86:74:55:b0:20, length 46 10:42:02.507185 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 1, length 64 10:42:02.507205 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 2, length 64 10:42:02.507212 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 3, length 64 10:42:02.507219 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 4, length 64 10:42:02.507225 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 5, length 64 10:42:02.507232 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 6, length 64 10:42:02.515373 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 1, length 64 10:42:02.521399 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 2, length 64 10:42:02.521612 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 3, length 64 10:42:02.521941 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 4, length 64 10:42:02.522419 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 5, length 64 10:42:02.523085 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 6, length 64 You can see the first ARP who-has went out very quickly after UP, but was never responded to. Nearly a second later the kernel retries and gets a response. Only then do the ping packets go out. If an ARP entry is manually added prior to UP (after the cache is cleared) it is seen that the first ping is never responded to, so its not only an issue with ARP but with data packets in general. As mentioned prior, the wireless interface was also monitored to verify the ping/ARP packet made it OTA which was observed to be true.

memcg: enable accounting for IP address and routing-related objects An netadmin inside container can use 'ip a a' and 'ip r a' to assign a large number of ipv4/ipv6 addresses and routing entries and force kernel to allocate megabytes of unaccounted memory for long-lived per-netdevice related kernel objects: 'struct in_ifaddr', 'struct inet6_ifaddr', 'struct fib6_node', 'struct rt6_info', 'struct fib_rules' and ip_fib caches. These objects can be manually removed, though usually they lives in memory till destroy of its net namespace. It makes sense to account for them to restrict the host's memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container. One of such objects is the 'struct fib6_node' mostly allocated in net/ipv6/route.c::__ip6_ins_rt() inside the lock_bh()/unlock_bh() section: write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock); err = fib6_add(&table->tb6_root, rt, info, mxc); write_unlock_bh(&table->tb6_lock); In this case it is not enough to simply add SLAB_ACCOUNT to corresponding kmem cache. The proper memory cgroup still cannot be found due to the incorrect 'in_interrupt()' check used in memcg_kmem_bypass(). Obsoleted in_interrupt() does not describe real execution context properly. >From include/linux/preempt.h: The following macros are deprecated and should not be used in new code: in_interrupt() - We're in NMI,IRQ,SoftIRQ context or have BH disabled To verify the current execution context new macro should be used instead: in_task() - We're in task context Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

rtnetlink: avoid RCU read lock when holding RTNL When we call af_ops->set_link_af() we hold a RCU read lock as we retrieve af_ops from the RCU protected list, but this is unnecessary because we already hold RTNL lock, which is the writer lock for protecting rtnl_af_ops, so it is safer than RCU read lock. Similar for af_ops->validate_link_af(). This was not a problem until we begin to take mutex lock down the path of ->set_link_af() in __ipv6_dev_mc_dec() recently. We can just drop the RCU read lock there and assert RTNL lock.

This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only.

inet: protect against too small mtu values. syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu on loopback device. Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h, and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page() and __ip_append_data() Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read. Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(), even if other code paths might write over this field. Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev->mtu needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations. Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

ipv4: fix inet_select_addr() when enable route_localnet Suppose we have two interfaces eth0 and eth1 in two hosts, follow the same steps in the two hosts: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth1.route_localnet=1 # sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth1.arp_announce=2 # ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local and then set ip to eth1 in host1 like: # ifconfig eth1 127.25.3.4/24 set ip to eth2 in host2 and ping host1: # ifconfig eth1 127.25.3.14/24 # ping -I eth1 127.25.3.4 Well, host2 cannot connect to host1. When set a ip address with head 127, the scope of the address defaults to RT_SCOPE_HOST. In this situation, host2 will use arp_solicit() to send a arp request for the mac address of host1 with ip address 127.25.3.14. When arp_announce=2, inet_select_addr() cannot select a correct saddr with condition ifa->ifa_scope > scope, because ifa_scope is RT_SCOPE_HOST and scope is RT_SCOPE_LINK. Then, inet_select_addr() will go to no_in_dev to lookup all interfaces to find a primary ip and finally get the primary ip of eth0. Here I add a localnet_scope defaults to RT_SCOPE_HOST, and when route_localnet is enabled, this value changes to RT_SCOPE_LINK to make inet_select_addr() find a correct primary ip as saddr of arp request.

Replace it with either the rcu or rtnl variant of in_dev_for_each_ifa(), but two places will now also consider secondary addresses too: inet_addr_onlink() and inet_ifa_byprefix(). I do not understand why they should ignore secondary addresses. Why would a secondary address not be considered 'on link'? When matching a prefix, why ignore a matching secondary address?

netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness We currently have two levels of strict validation: 1) liberal (default) - undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted - attribute length >= expected accepted - garbage at end of message accepted 2) strict (opt-in) - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted - attribute length >= expected accepted Split out parsing strictness into four different options: * TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing attributes (in message or nested) * MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type * UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size The default for future things should be *everything*. The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE, and is renamed to _deprecated_strict(). The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to *_parse_deprecated(). Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply to the POLICY flag. We end up with the following renames: * nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated * nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict * nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated * nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict * nla_parse_nested -> nla_parse_nested_deprecated * nla_validate_nested -> nla_validate_nested_deprecated Using spatch, of course: @@ expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_parse(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT) +nla_parse_deprecated(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_parse(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_parse_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_parse_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_parse_nested(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT) +nla_parse_nested_deprecated(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT) @@ expression START, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_validate_nested(START, MAX, POL, EXT) +nla_validate_nested_deprecated(START, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_validate(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_validate_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT) For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong. Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication. Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is. In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

net: introduce a knob to control whether to inherit devconf config There have been many people complaining about the inconsistent behaviors of IPv4 and IPv6 devconf when creating new network namespaces. Currently, for IPv4, we inherit all current settings from init_net, but for IPv6 we reset all setting to default. This patch introduces a new /proc file /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net to control the behavior of whether to inhert sysctl current settings from init_net. This file itself is only available in init_net. As demonstrated below: Initial setup in init_net: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 2 # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 1 Default value 0 (current behavior): # ip netns del test # ip netns add test # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 2 # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 0 Set to 1 (inherit from init_net): # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net # ip netns del test # ip netns add test # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 2 # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 1 Set to 2 (reset to default): # echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net # ip netns del test # ip netns add test # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter 0 # ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad 0 Set to a value out of range (invalid): # echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo -1 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Reported-by: Zhu Yanjun <Yanjun.Zhu@windriver.com> Reported-by: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com> Cc: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Acked-by: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: fixup regression in RTM_GETADDR This commit fixes a regression in AF_INET/RTM_GETADDR and AF_INET6/RTM_GETADDR. Before this commit, the kernel would stop dumping addresses once the first skb was full and end the stream with NLMSG_DONE(-EMSGSIZE). The error shouldn't be sent back to netlink_dump so the callback is kept alive. The userspace is expected to call back with a new empty skb. Changes from V1: - The error is not handled in netlink_dump anymore but rather in inet_dump_ifaddr and inet6_dump_addr directly as suggested by David Ahern.

If it does not userspace should assume that IFA_TARGET_NETNSID is not supported for ipv4 RTM_GETADDR requests on this kernel. - From what I gather from current userspace tools that make use of RTM_GETADDR requests some of them pass down struct ifinfomsg when they should actually pass down struct ifaddrmsg. To not break existing tools that pass down the wrong struct we will do the same as for RTM_GETLINK | NLM_F_DUMP requests and not error out when the nlmsg_parse() fails. - Security: Callers must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the target network namespace.

route: add support for directed broadcast forwarding This patch implements the feature described in rfc1812#section-5.3.5.2 and rfc2644. It allows the router to forward directed broadcast when sysctl bc_forwarding is enabled. Note that this feature could be done by iptables -j TEE, but it would cause some problems: - target TEE's gateway param has to be set with a specific address, and it's not flexible especially when the route wants forward all directed broadcasts. - this duplicates the directed broadcasts so this may cause side effects to applications. Besides, to keep consistent with other os router like BSD, it's also necessary to implement it in the route rx path. Note that route cache needs to be flushed when bc_forwarding is changed.

Separating that codepath from the rest of dev_ioctl() allows both to simplify dev_ioctl() itself (all other cases work with struct ifreq *) *and* seriously simplify the compat side of that beast: all it takes is passing to inet_gifconf() an extra argument - the size of individual records (sizeof(struct ifreq) or sizeof(struct compat_ifreq)). With dev_ifconf() called directly from sock_do_ioctl()/compat_dev_ifconf() that's easy to arrange. As the result, compat side of SIOCGIFCONF doesn't need any allocations, copy_in_user() back and forth, etc. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

net: avoid a full fib lookup when rp_filter is disabled. Since commit 1dced6a85482 ("ipv4: Restore accept_local behaviour in fib_validate_source()") a full fib lookup is needed even if the rp_filter is disabled, if accept_local is false - which is the default. What we really need in the above scenario is just checking that the source IP address is not local, and in most case we can do that is a cheaper way looking up the ifaddr hash table. This commit adds a helper for such lookup, and uses it to validate the src address when rp_filter is disabled and no 'local' routes are created by the user space in the relevant namespace. A new ipv4 netns flag is added to account for such routes. We need that to preserve the same behavior we had before this patch. It also drops the checks to bail early from __fib_validate_source, added by the commit 1dced6a85482 ("ipv4: Restore accept_local behaviour in fib_validate_source()") they do not give any measurable performance improvement: if we do the lookup with are on a slower path. This improves UDP performances for unconnected sockets when rp_filter is disabled by 5% and also gives small but measurable performance improvement for TCP flood scenarios. v1 -> v2: - use the ifaddr lookup helper in __ip_dev_find(), as suggested by Eric - fall-back to full lookup if custom local routes are present Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Ipvlan should return an error when an address is already in use. The ipvlan code already knows how to detect when a duplicate address is about to be assigned to an ipvlan device. However, that failure is not propogated outward and leads to a silent failure. Introduce a validation step at ip address creation time and allow device drivers to register to validate the incoming ip addresses. The ipvlan code is the first consumer. If it detects an address in use, we can return an error to the user before beginning to commit the new ifa in the networking code. This can be especially useful if it is necessary to provision many ipvlans in containers. The provisioning software (or operator) can use this to detect situations where an ip address is unexpectedly in use. Signed-off-by: Krister Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: l3mdev: address selection should only consider devices in L3 domain David Lamparter noted a use case where the source address selection fails to pick an address from a VRF interface - unnumbered interfaces. Relevant commands from his script: ip addr add 9.9.9.9/32 dev lo ip link set lo up ip link add name vrf0 type vrf table 101 ip rule add oif vrf0 table 101 ip rule add iif vrf0 table 101 ip link set vrf0 up ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev vrf0 ip link add name dummy2 type dummy ip link set dummy2 master vrf0 up --> note dummy2 has no address - unnumbered device ip route add 10.2.2.2/32 dev dummy2 table 101 ip neigh add 10.2.2.2 dev dummy2 lladdr 02:00:00:00:00:02 tcpdump -ni dummy2 & And using ping instead of his socat example: $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2 ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf0. PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 9.9.9.9 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data. >From tcpdump: 12:57:29.449128 IP 9.9.9.9 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2491, seq 1, length 64 Note the source address is from lo and is not a VRF local address. With this patch: $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2 PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 10.0.0.3 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data. >From tcpdump: 12:59:25.096426 IP 10.0.0.3 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2113, seq 1, length 64 Now the source address comes from vrf0. The ipv4 function for selecting source address takes a const argument. Removing the const requires touching a lot of places, so instead l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu is changed to take a const argument and then do the typecast to non-const as required by netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu. This is similar to what l3mdev_fib_table_rcu does. IPv6 for unnumbered interfaces appears to be selecting the addresses properly.

Such frames can (as an attack) be created by any member of the same wireless network and transmitted as valid encrypted frames since the symmetric key for broadcast frames is shared between all stations. Additionally, enabling this option provides compliance with a SHOULD clause of RFC 1122.

netlink: Rightsize IFLA_AF_SPEC size calculation if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and rtnl_link_get_size(). The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN). This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size() and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops. Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications. br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops. br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

net/ipv4: suppress NETDEV_UP notification on address lifetime update This notification causes the FIB to be updated, which is not needed because the address already exists, and more importantly it may undo intentional changes that were made to the FIB after the address was originally added. (As a point of comparison, when an address becomes deprecated because its preferred lifetime expired, a notification on this chain is not generated.) The motivation for this commit is fixing an incompatibility between DHCP clients which set and update the address lifetime according to the lease, and a commercial VPN client which replaces kernel routes in a way that outbound traffic is sent only through the tunnel (and disconnects if any further route changes are detected via netlink).

net: ipv4 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the interface has IFF_UP cleared. With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed (interface p8p1 is link-down): default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache <local> 80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15 cache While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.56.2 90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache <local> 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1 cache and the output changes to what one would expect. If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when p8p1 is down: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down. v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches, this actually makes a behavioral change if the sysctl is set. Also took suggestion from Alex to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. v3: Code clean-ups to make it more readable and efficient as well as a reverse path check fix. v4: Drop binary sysctl v5: Whitespace fixups from Dave v6: Style changes from Dave and checkpatch suggestions v7: One more checkpatch fixup Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek <gospo@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Dinesh Dutt <ddutt@cumulusnetworks.com> Acked-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

multicast: Extend ip address command to enable multicast group join/leave on Joining multicast group on ethernet level via "ip maddr" command would not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses. Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option that enables then to do the required join. By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave. example: ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 Signed-off-by: Madhu Challa <challa@noironetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fix all such cases. Reported-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Reported-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

neigh: restore old behaviour of default parms values Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added. Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

net: igmp: Allow user-space configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval Adds the new procfs knobs: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv2_unsolicited_report_interval /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv3_unsolicited_report_interval Which will allow userspace configuration of the IGMP unsolicited report interval (see below) in milliseconds. The defaults are 10000ms for IGMPv2 and 1000ms for IGMPv3 in accordance with RFC2236 and RFC3376. Background: If an IGMP join packet is lost you will not receive data sent to the multicast group so if no data arrives from that multicast group in a period of time after the IGMP join a second IGMP join will be sent. The delay between joins is the "IGMP Unsolicited Report Interval". Prior to this patch this value was hard coded in the kernel to 10s for IGMPv2 and 1s for IGMPv3. 10s is unsuitable for some use-cases, such as IPTV as it can cause channel change to be slow in the presence of packet loss. This patch allows the value to be overridden from userspace for both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 such that it can be tuned accoding to the network. Tested with Wireshark and a simple program to join a (non-existent) multicast group. The distribution of timings for the second join differ based upon setting the procfs knobs. igmpvX_unsolicited_report_interval is intended to follow the pattern established by force_igmp_version, and while a procfs entry has been added a corresponding sysctl knob has not as it is my understanding that sysctl is deprecated[1].

As a side effect this caused the routing cache to be flushed as it was declared as a DEVINET_SYSCTL_FLUSHING_ENTRY. Flushing is unnecessary and this patch makes it so flushing does not occur.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

ipv4: introduce address lifetime There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful. For example: 1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network configuration parameters 2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration 3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop 4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient 5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131. This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism for ipv4 addresses. Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective. Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users. Reported-by: Pavel Šimerda <psimerda@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: remove delay at device dismantle I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues. These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls. We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER. As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed device swap on busy dst. To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock. Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care ! Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after IP cache removal.

ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8 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 $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0 $ ip route flush cache V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

bonding: remove entries for master_ip and vlan_ip and query devices instead The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary, etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values. commit 917fbdb32f37e9a93b00bb12ee83532982982df3 Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com> Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000 bonding: only use primary address for ARP That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it didn't always work as expected. When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in the primary address and would still cause the device address to be overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done. This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that needed to be resolved. While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than grow, but liked the general idea. As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively. This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly what was needed. I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected. Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch. Thanks to Ralf for all his help on this. v2: Whitespace and organizational changes based on suggestions from Jay Vosburgh and Dave Miller. v3: Fixup incorrect usage of rcu_read_unlock based on Dave Miller's suggestion.

ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notifications For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications (gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover. Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer notification should be deferred until it does. Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer notifications on bonding failover. Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested. Since it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump the bonding version number and update its documentation.

ipv4: Fallback to FIB local table in __ip_dev_find(). In commit 9435eb1cf0b76b323019cebf8d16762a50a12a19 ("ipv4: Implement __ip_dev_find using new interface address hash.") we reimplemented __ip_dev_find() so that it doesn't have to do a full FIB table lookup. Instead, it consults a hash table of addresses configured to interfaces. This works identically to the old code in all except one case, and that is for loopback subnets. The old code would match the loopback device for any IP address that falls within a subnet configured to the loopback device. Handle this corner case by doing the FIB lookup. We could implement this via inet_addr_onlink() but: 1) Someone could configure many addresses to loopback and inet_addr_onlink() is a simple list traversal. 2) We know the old code works.

ipv4: remove the routes on secondary promotion The secondary address promotion relies on fib_sync_down_addr to remove all routes created for the secondary addresses when the old primary address is deleted. It does not happen for cases when the primary address is also in another subnet. Fix that by deleting local and broadcast routes for all secondaries while they are on device list and by faking that all addresses from this subnet are to be deleted. It relies on fib_del_ifaddr being able to ignore the IPs from the concerned subnet while checking for duplication. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

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.

ipv4: Don't pre-seed hoplimit metric. Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6. This allowed several simplifications: 1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer userd. 2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in routing cache metrics any longer. 3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and therefore can be marked static. When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago, the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around so kill that off too. We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has a back dependency on net/route.h Signed-off-by: David S.

rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already leaving the link behind in a undefined state. This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to commit the changes later. This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the validation function method will not be able to detect all error scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex and thus may change between validation and setting. Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and config blocks for address families which did not register a set function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without notifying the user.

arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event. Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use to explicitly trigger the notification.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open() This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

[IPV4]: Reset scope when changing address This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo. Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround. But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed. Some way or another. Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on address. This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address space with host scope requirements?) We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured with a loopback address (127/8). The scope is never reset, and will remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal functionality. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Thanks to Herbert, who noticed, that this call doesn't even require the devconf pointer (the last argument) - all we need we can take from the in_device itself. The fix is to make a __devinet_sysctl_register(), which registers sysctls for all "devices" we need, including "default" and "all" :) The original devinet_sysctl_register() works with struct net_device, not the inet_device, and calls the introduced function, passing the device name and ifindex (to be used as procname and ctl_name) into it.

[IPV4]: Remove unnecessary test for the loopback device from inetdev_destroy Currently we never call unregister_netdev for the loopback device so it is impossible for us to reach inetdev_destroy with the loopback device. So the test in inetdev_destroy is unnecessary. Further when testing with my network namespace patches removing unregistering the loopback device and calling inetdev_destroy works fine so there appears to be no reason for avoiding unregistering the loopback device.

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[IPV4] devinet: show all addresses assigned to interface Bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8876 Not all ips are shown by "ip addr show" command when IPs number assigned to an interface is more than 60-80 (in fact it depends on broadcast/label etc presence on each address). Steps to reproduce: It's terribly simple to reproduce: # for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip ad add 10.0.$i.1/24 dev eth10 ; done # ip addr show this will _not_ show all IPs.

[IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config values Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added (or rarely in ipmr). Therefore the default config values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

[IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_init Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's configuration. This creates a problem since we have moved the point where inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the device is registered. This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old behaviour while still calling inetdev_init. It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that have not had the corresponding attribute set.

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.

[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.) The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew Morton.

[NETLINK]: illegal use of pid in rtnetlink When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket, it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid.

[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case. 1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get(). 2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu(). 3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl(). There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
