Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs
Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.
The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.
Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
Original patch was done by Alexandre Cassen <acassen@freebox.fr>

We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
(tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
line shared with txq->_xmit_lock
This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
provided by the caller.

recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()),

Fix trivial conflict as by Tejun Heo in kernel/sched.c
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. 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.

Here is a patch which fixes an issue observed when using TCP over IPv6
and AH from IPsec.
When a connection gets closed the 4-way method and the last ACK from
the server gets dropped, the subsequent FINs from the client do not
get ACKed because tcp_v6_send_response does not set the transport
header pointer. This causes ah6_output to try to allocate a lot of
memory, which typically fails, so the ACKs never make it out of the
stack.
I have reproduced the problem on kernel 2.6.7, but after looking at
the latest kernel it seems the problem is still there.

This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:
inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.
page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock
mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim
David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.
But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.

Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not
accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops
are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated.
IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing,
but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats.
This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated,
regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket.
Example after an UDP tx flood
# netstat -s
...
IP:
1487048 outgoing packets dropped
...
Udp:
...
SndbufErrors: 1487048
send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not
break applications.
Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error :
"The output queue for a network interface was full.
This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
but may be caused by transient congestion.
(Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently
dropped when a device queue overflows.) "
This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall
that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.

For that:
* move struct dst_ops into separate header to fix circular dependencies
I honestly tried not to, it's pretty impossible to do other way
* drop dynamical allocation, allocate together with netns
For a change, remove struct dst_ops::dst_net, it's deducible

When processing a received IPv6 Router Advertisement, the kernel
creates or updates an IPv6 Neighbor Cache entry for the sender --
but presently this does not occur if IPv6 forwarding is enabled
(net.ipv6.conf.*.forwarding = 1), or if IPv6 Router Advertisements
are not accepted (net.ipv6.conf.*.accept_ra = 0), because in these
cases processing of the Router Advertisement has already halted.
This patch allows the Neighbor Cache to be updated in these cases,
while still avoiding any modification to routes or link parameters.
This continues to satisfy RFC 4861, since any entry created in the
Neighbor Cache as the result of a received Router Advertisement is
still placed in the STALE state.

if tunnel parameters have frag_off set to IP_DF, pmtudisc on the ipv4 link
will be performed by deriving the mtu from the ipv4 link and setting the
DF-Flag of the encapsulating IPv4 Header. If fragmentation is needed on the
way, the IPv4 pmtu gets adjusted, the ipv6 package will be resent eventually,
using the new and lower mtu and everyone is happy.
If the frag_off parameter is unset, the mtu for the tunnel will be derived
from the tunnel device or the ipv6 pmtu, which might be higher than the ipv4
pmtu. In that case we must allow the fragmentation of the IPv4 packet because
the IPv6 mtu wouldn't 'learn' from the adjusted IPv4 pmtu, resulting in
frequent icmp_frag_needed and package loss on the IPv6 layer.
This patch allows fragmentation when tunnel was created with parameter
nopmtudisc, like in ipip/gre tunnels.

This patch addresses:
* assigning -1 to np->tclass as it is currently done is not very meaningful,
since it turns into 0xff;
* RFC 3542, 6.5 allows -1 for clearing the sticky IPV6_TCLASS option
and specifies -1 to mean "use kernel default":
- RFC 2460, 7. requires that the default traffic class must be zero for
all 8 bits,
- this is consistent with RFC 2474, 4.1 which recommends a default PHB of 0,
in combination with a value of the ECN field of "non-ECT" (RFC 3168, 5.).
This patch changes the meaning of -1 from assigning 255 to mean the RFC 2460
default, which at the same time allows to satisfy clearing the sticky TCLASS
option as per RFC 3542, 6.5.
(When passing -1 as ancillary data, the fallback remains np->tclass, which
has either been set via socket options, or contains the default value.)

Underflows in iptables are better known as chain policies, and are

The "hook_entry" and "underflow" array contains values even for hooks
not provided, such as PREROUTING in conjunction with the "filter"
table. Usually, the values point to whatever the next rule is. For
the upcoming unconditionality and underflow checking patches however,
we must not inspect that arbitrary rule.
Skipping unassigned hooks seems like a good idea, also because
newinfo->hook_entry and newinfo->underflow will then continue to have
the poison value for detecting abnormalities.
