Commit d2d68ba9 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops)
assmued that "locally destined, and routed packets, never trigger
PMTU events or redirects that will be processed by us".
However, it seems that tunnel devices do trigger PMTU events in certain
cases. At least ip_gre, ip6_gre, sit, and ipip do use the inner flow's
skb_dst(skb)->ops->update_pmtu to propage mtu information from the
outer flows. These can cause the inner flow mtu to be decreased. If
next hop exceptions are not consulted for pmtu, IP fragmentation will
not be done properly for these routes.
It also seems that we really need to have the PMTU information always
for netfilter TCPMSS clamp-to-pmtu feature to work properly.
So for the time being, cache separate copies of input routes for
each next hop exception.

RFC3590/RFC3810 specifies we should resend MLD reports as soon as a
valid link-local address is available.
We now use the valid_ll_addr_cnt to check if it is necessary to resend
a new report.
Changes since Flavio Leitner's version:
a) adapt for valid_ll_addr_cnt
b) resend first reports directly in the path and just arm the timer for
mc_qrv-1 resends.

To reduce the number of unnecessary router solicitations, MLDv2 and IGMPv3
messages we need to track the number of valid (as in non-optimistic,
no-dad-failed and non-tentative) link-local addresses. Therefore, this
patch implements a valid_ll_addr_cnt in struct inet6_dev.
We now only emit router solicitations if the first link-local address
finishes duplicate address detection.
The changes for MLDv2 and IGMPv3 are in a follow-up patch.

A simple semantic change, when a slave's MAC is cloned by the bond
master then set addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_STOLEN instead of
NET_ADDR_SET. Also use bond_set_dev_addr() in BOND_FOM_ACTIVE mode
to change the bond's MAC address because the assign_type has to be

In struct bonding there's a member called dev_addr_from_first which is
used to denote when the bond dev should clone the first slave's MAC
address but since we have netdev's addr_assign_type variable that is not
necessary. We clone the first slave's MAC each time we have a random MAC
set to the bond device. This has the nice side-effect of also fixing an
inconsistency - when the MAC address of the bond dev is set after its
creation, but prior to having slaves, it's not kept and the first slave's
MAC is cloned. The only way to keep the MAC was to create the bond device
with the MAC address set (e.g. through ip link). In all cases if the
bond device is left without any slaves - its MAC gets reset to a random
one as before.

Since (c05cdb1 netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space),
netlink splats if it invokes skb_clone on large netlink skbs since:
* skb_shared_info was not correctly initialized.
* skb->destructor is not set in the cloned skb.
This was spotted by trinity:
[ 894.990671] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9000047b001

Fix it by:
1) introducing a new netlink_skb_clone function that is used in nl_fib_input,
that sets our special skb->destructor in the cloned skb. Moreover, handle
the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path.
2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find
any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path,
moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling.
I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are
not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found
seems to be the fib frontend.

As reported by "kbuild test robot" there were some errors and warnings
on attempt to build kernel with "make ARCH=powerpc allmodconfig".
And this patch addresses both errors and warnings.
Below is a list of introduced changes:
1. Fix compile-time errors (misspellings in "dma_unmap_single") on PPC.
2. Use DMA address instead of "skb->data" as a pointer to data buffer.
This fixed warnings on pointer to int conversion on 64-bit systems.
3. Re-implemented initial allocation of Rx buffers in "arc_emac_open" in
the same way they're re-allocated during operation (receiving packets).
So once again DMA address could be used instead of "skb->data".
4. Explicitly use EMAC_BUFFER_SIZE for Rx buffers allocation.

Currently, we fail only when all of the ips in arp_ip_target are gone.
However, in some situations we might need to fail if even one host from
arp_ip_target becomes unavailable.
All situations, obviously, rely on the idea that we need *completely*
functional network, with all interfaces/addresses working correctly.
One real world example might be:
vlans on top on bond (hybrid port). If bond and vlans have ips assigned
and we have their peers monitored via arp_ip_target - in case of switch
misconfiguration (trunk/access port), slave driver malfunction or
tagged/untagged traffic dropped on the way - we will be able to switch
to another slave.
Though any other configuration needs that if we need to have access to all
arp_ip_targets.
This patch adds this possibility by adding a new parameter -
arp_all_targets (both as a module parameter and as a sysfs knob). It can be
set to:
0 or any (the default) - which works exactly as it's working now -
the slave is up if any of the arp_ip_targets are up.
1 or all - the slave is up if all of the arp_ip_targets are up.
This parameter can be changed on the fly (via sysfs), and requires the mode
to be active-backup and arp_validate to be enabled (it obeys the
arp_validate config on which slaves to validate).
Internally it's done through:
1) Add target_last_arp_rx[BOND_MAX_ARP_TARGETS] array to slave struct. It's
an array of jiffies, meaning that slave->target_last_arp_rx[i] is the
last time we've received arp from bond->params.arp_targets[i] on this
slave.
2) If we successfully validate an arp from bond->params.arp_targets[i] in
bond_validate_arp() - update the slave->target_last_arp_rx[i] with the
current jiffies value.
3) When getting slave's last_rx via slave_last_rx(), we return the oldest
time when we've received an arp from any address in
bond->params.arp_targets[].
If the value of arp_all_targets == 0 - we still work the same way as
before.
Also, update the documentation to reflect the new parameter.
v3->v4:
Kill the forgotten rtnl_unlock(), rephrase the documentation part to be
more clear, don't fail setting arp_all_targets if arp_validate is not set -
it has no effect anyway but can be easier to set up. Also, print a warning
if the last arp_ip_target is removed while the arp_interval is on, but not
the arp_validate.
v2->v3:
Use _bh spinlock, remove useless rtnl_lock() and use jiffies for new
arp_ip_target last arp, instead of slave_last_rx(). On bond_enslave(),
use the same initialization value for target_last_arp_rx[] as is used
for the default last_arp_rx, to avoid useless interface flaps.
Also, instead of failing to remove the last arp_ip_target just print a
warning - otherwise it might break existing scripts.
v1->v2:
Correctly handle adding/removing hosts in arp_ip_target - we need to
shift/initialize all slave's target_last_arp_rx. Also, don't fail module
loading on arp_all_targets misconfiguration, just disable it, and some
minor style fixes.

validation works.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Currently, if we receive any arp packet on a backup slave in active-backup
mode and arp_validate enabled, we suppose that it's an arp request, swap
source/target ip and try to validate it. This optimization gives us
virtually no downtime in the most common situation (active and backup
slaves are in the same broadcast domain and the active slave failed).
However, if we can't reach the arp_ip_target(s), we end up in an endless
loop of reselecting slaves, because we receive our arp requests, sent by
the active slave, and think that backup slaves are up, thus selecting them
as active and, again, sending arp requests, which fool our backup slaves.
Fix this by not validating the swapped arp packets if the current active
slave didn't receive any arp reply after it was selected as active. This
way we will only accept arp requests if we know that the current active
slave can actually reach arp_ip_target.

So, call addrconf_verify immediately after setting the new tokenized

This patch splits the timers for duplicate address detection and router
solicitations apart. The router solicitations timer goes into inet6_dev
and the dad timer stays in inet6_ifaddr.
The reason behind this patch is to reduce the number of unneeded router
solicitations send out by the host if additional link-local addresses
are created. Currently we send out RS for every link-local address on
an interface.
If the RS timer fires we pick a source address with ipv6_get_lladdr. This
change could hurt people adding additional link-local addresses and
specifying these addresses in the radvd clients section because we
no longer guarantee that we use every ll address as source address in
router solicitations.
