2008-12-16ipv6: fix the outgoing interface selection order in udpv6_sendmsg()Yang Hongyang
1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis is used. RFC3542: 6.7. Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the selection of the packet's outgoing interface. This subsection summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic behavior. For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface is determined in the following order: 1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item, the interface is used. 2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option, the interface is used.

2008-12-16ipv6: fix the return interface index when get it while no message is receivedYang Hongyang
When get receiving interface index while no message is received, the the value seted with setsockopt() should be returned. RFC 3542: Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt(). If no sticky option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following values: - For the IPV6_PKTINFO option, it will return an in6_pktinfo structure with ipi6_addr being in6addr_any and ipi6_ifindex being zero.

2008-12-10netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding codeBenjamin Thery
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code. This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts. Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current netns: * ip6mr_get_route * ip6mr_cache_report * ip6mr_cache_find * ip6mr_cache_unresolved * mif6_add/mif6_delete * ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete * ip6mr_reg_vif All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace. Changelog: ========== * Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in mfc_unres_queue list. * Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated per-namespace. * Call dev_net_set() in ip6mr_reg_vif() to initialize dev->nd_net correctly.

Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware. Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: moves it into struct netns_ipv6. This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine ip6mr_cache_unresolved). Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in struct mfc6_cache. Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration. In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch. At the moment, cache_resolve_queue_len is only referenced in init_net. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch stores into struct mfc6_cache the network namespace each mfc6_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc6_net. mfc6_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during the rest of the cache entry life. This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv6 multicast forwarding code. At the moment, all mfc6_cache are allocated in init_net.

2008-12-09ipv6: silence log messages for locally generated multicastJan Sembera
This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time). Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills the logs with error messages.

2008-12-03net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed shortBenjamin Thery
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache. Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue: 'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer. In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define: #define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1)) That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2 thought a -1 should be expected. I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally? I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-03net: fix /proc/net/ip_mr_cache display - V2Benjamin Thery
/proc/net/ip_mr_cache and /proc/net/ip6_mr_cache displays garbage when showing unresolved mfc_cache entries. [root@qemu tests]# cat /proc/net/ip_mr_cache Group Origin Iif Pkts Bytes Wrong Oifs 014C00EF 010014AC 1 10 10050 0 2:1 3:1 024C00EF 010014AC 65535 514 2 -559067475 The first line is correct. It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it... The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th), Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage. In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res. Bad. (eg. In our case -559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic). This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct. This change doesn't break the ABI. Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if are unsigned long. It applies on top of net-next-2.6. The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to %pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf. Changelog: ========== V2: * Instead of breaking the ABI by suppressing the columns that have no meaning for unresolved entries, fill them with 0 values.

2008-11-23net: Convert TCP/DCCP listening hash tables to use RCUEric Dumazet
This is the last step to be able to perform full RCU lookups in __inet_lookup() : After established/timewait tables, we add RCU lookups to listening hash table. The only trick here is that a socket of a given type (TCP ipv4, TCP ipv6, ...) can now flight between two different tables (established and listening) during a RCU grace period, so we must use different 'nulls' end-of-chain values for two tables. We define a large value : #define LISTENING_NULLS_BASE (1U << 29) So that slots in listening table are guaranteed to have different end-of-chain values than slots in established table. A reader can still detect it finished its lookup in the right chain. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-11-16net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nullsEric Dumazet
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure : - sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the price of call_rcu() at freeing time. - hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers. This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established and timewait sockets. Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case. __inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock) Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU (bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
