Andreas Hofmeister 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.

ipv6_cow_metrics may will call rt6_bind_peer to set rt6_info->rt6i_peer.
So,we should move ipv6_addr_copy before dst_metric_set to make sure rt6_bind_peer success.

This part is for the IPv6 side, adding a tclass param to ip6_xmit()

Andreas Hofmeister 9f56220fad ipv6: Do not use routes from locally generated RAs
When hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra == 2), the kernel also sees RAs
generated locally. This is useful since it allows the kernel to auto-configure
its own interface addresses.

However, if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and/or 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' are set and the
locally generated RAs announce the default route and/or other route information,
the kernel happily inserts bogus routes with its own address as gateway.

With this patch, adding routes from an RA will be skiped when the RAs source
address matches any local address, just as if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and
'accept_ra_rtr_pref' were set to 0.

Steffen Klassert 299b076764 ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem
ip6_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path).
On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol
headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after
the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a
slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets
based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr
handling to this.

Eric Dumazet 87fb4b7b53 net: more accurate skb truesize
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.

Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.

This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.

At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.

Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.

Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.

Yan, Zheng 8e2ec63917 ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.
Current IPv6 implementation uses inetpeer to store metrics for
routes. The problem of inetpeer is that it doesn't take subnet
prefix length in to consideration. If two routes have the same
address but different prefix length, they share same inetpeer.
So changing metrics of one route also affects the other. The
fix is to allocate separate metrics storage for each route.

Tore Anderson 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.

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

Stephen Hemminger a9b3cd7f32 rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER
When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

// </smpl>

Lorenzo Colitti 76f793e3a4 ipv6: updates to privacy addresses per RFC 4941.
Update the code to handle some of the differences between
RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple
of janitorial fixes.

- Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of
  temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041,
  but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA
  lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME:
  in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate
  addresses prematurely.

- Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941.

- Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid
  lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp.

- Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.

Eric Dumazet 89b0212697 ip6tnl: avoid touching dst refcount in ip6_tnl_xmit2()
Even using percpu stats, we still hit tunnel dst_entry refcount in
ip6_tnl_xmit2()

Since we are in RCU locked section, we can use skb_dst_set_noref() and
avoid these atomic operations, leaving dst shared on cpus.

Eric Dumazet 897dc80b95 ipv6: avoid a dst_entry refcount change in ipv6_destopt_rcv()
ipv6_destopt_rcv() runs with rcu_read_lock(), so there is no need to
take a temporay reference on dst_entry, even if skb is freed by
ip6_parse_tlv()
