94e187c015 ipv6: introduce ip6_rt_put()
As suggested by Eric, we could introduce a helper function
for ipv6 too, to avoid checking if rt is NULL before
dst_release().

1a9408355e ipv6: remove a useless NULL check
In dev_forward_change(), it is useless to check if idev->dev

9f0d3c2781 ipv6: addrconf: fix /proc/net/if_inet6
Commit 1d5783030a (ipv6/addrconf: speedup /proc/net/if_inet6 filling)
added bugs hiding some devices from if_inet6 and breaking applications.

"ip -6 addr" could still display all IPv6 addresses, while "ifconfig -a"
couldnt.

One way to reproduce the bug is by starting in a shell :

unshare -n /bin/bash
ifconfig lo up

And in original net namespace, lo device disappeared from if_inet6

62b54dd915 ipv6: don't add link local route when there is no link local address
When an address is added on loopback (ip -6 a a 2002::1/128 dev lo), a route
to fe80::/64 is added in the main table:
  unreachable fe80::/64 dev lo  proto kernel  metric 256  error -101

This route does not match any prefix (no fe80:: address on lo). In fact,
addrconf_dev_config() will not add link local address because this function
filters interfaces by type. If the link local address is added manually, the
route to the link local prefix will be automatically added by
addrconf_add_linklocal().
Note also, that this route is not deleted when the address is removed.

After looking at the code, it seems that addrconf_add_lroute() is redundant with
addrconf_add_linklocal(), because this function will add the link local route
when the link local address is configured.

64c6d08e64 ipv6: del unreachable route when an addr is deleted on lo
When an address is added on loopback (ip -6 a a 2002::1/128 dev lo), two routes
are added:
 - one in the local table:
    local 2002::1 via :: dev lo  proto none  metric 0
 - one the in main table (for the prefix):
    unreachable 2002::1 dev lo  proto kernel  metric 256  error -101

When the address is deleted, the route inserted in the main table remains
because we use rt6_lookup(), which returns NULL when dst->error is set, which
is the case here! Thus, it is better to use ip6_route_lookup() to avoid this
kind of filter.

15e473046c netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion
It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

0115e8e30d 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.

With help from Gao feng

addrconf_forward_change() uses RCU iteration over the netdev list,
which is unnecessary since it already holds the RTNL lock.  We also
cannot reasonably require netdevice notifier functions not to sleep.

ddbe503203 ipv6: add ipv6_addr_hash() helper
Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits
of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version.

Use it in flow dissector, as suggested by Andrew McGregor,
to reduce hash collision probabilities in fq_codel (and other
users of flow dissector)

Use it in ip6_tunnel.c and use more bit shuffling, as suggested
by David Laight, as existing hash was ignoring most of them.

Use it in sunrpc and use more bit shuffling, using hash_32().

Use it in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, using hash_32() as well.

As a cleanup, use it in net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c

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.

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.

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

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.

It just obscures that the netdevice pointer and the expires value are
implemented in the dst_entry sub-object of the ipv6 route.

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

7ffbcecbee ipv6: Remove optimistic DAD flag test in ipv6_add_addr()
The route we have here is for the address being added to the interface,
ie. for input packet processing.

Therefore using that route to determine whether an output nexthop gateway
is known and resolved doesn't make any sense.

So, simply remove this test, it never triggered anyways.

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.

14ef37b6d0 ipv6: fix route lookup in addrconf_prefix_rcv()
The route lookup to find a previously auto-configured route for a prefixes used
to use rt6_lookup(), with the prefix from the RA used as an address. However,
that kind of lookup ignores routing tables, the prefix length and route flags,
so when there were other matching routes, even in different tables and/or with
a different prefix length, the wrong route would be manipulated.

Now, a new function "addrconf_get_prefix_route()" is used for the route lookup,
which searches in RT6_TABLE_PREFIX and takes the prefix-length and route flags
into account.

026359bc6e ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted
This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is
accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is
not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the
"accept_ra" sysctl is used.

The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode
("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard
Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was
that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl
documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore
been removed.

Rationale for the change:

Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining
whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent,
otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the
following cases:

* accept_ra=0, forwarding=0
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=1, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=2, forwarding=1

In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will
not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send
any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most
routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in
the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.)

Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS
sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being
accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect
to be the case.
