2010-12-19ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed.David Stevens
This patch modifies IPsec6 to fragment IPv6 packets that are locally generated as needed. This version of the patch only fragments in tunnel mode, so that fragment headers will not be obscured by ESP in transport mode.

2010-12-16ipv6: delete expired route in ip6_pmtu_deliverAndrey Vagin
The first big packets sent to a "low-MTU" client correctly triggers the creation of a temporary route containing the reduced MTU. But after the temporary route has expired, new ICMP6 "packet too big" will be sent, rt6_pmtu_discovery will find the previous EXPIRED route check that its mtu isn't bigger then in icmp packet and do nothing before the temporary route will not deleted by gc. I make the simple experiment: while :; do time ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=10K count=1 | ssh hostname dd of=/dev/null ) || break; done The "time" reports real 0m0.197s if a temporary route isn't expired, but it reports real 0m52.837s (!!!!) immediately after a temporare route has expired.

2010-12-01net/ipv6/sit.c: return unhandled skb to tunnel4_rcvDavid McCullough
I found a problem using an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. When CONFIG_IPV6_SIT was enabled, the packets would be rejected as net/ipv6/sit.c was catching all IPPROTO_IPV6 packets and returning an ICMP port unreachable error. I think this patch fixes the problem cleanly. I believe the code in net/ipv4/tunnel4.c:tunnel4_rcv takes care of it properly if none of the handlers claim the skb.

2010-12-01Make the ip6_tunnel reflect the true mtu.Anders Franzen
The ip6_tunnel always assumes it consumes 40 bytes (ip6 hdr) of the mtu of the underlaying device. So for a normal ethernet bearer, the mtu of the ip6_tunnel is 1460. However, when creating a tunnel the encap limit option is enabled by default, and it consumes 8 bytes more, so the true mtu shall be 1452.

2010-11-12ipv6: addrconf: don't remove address state on ifdown if the address is being ↵Lorenzo Colitti
kept Currently, addrconf_ifdown does not delete statically configured IPv6 addresses when the interface is brought down. The intent is that when the interface comes back up the address will be usable again. However, this doesn't actually work, because the system stops listening on the corresponding solicited-node multicast address, so the address cannot respond to neighbor solicitations and thus receive traffic. Also, the code notifies the rest of the system that the address is being deleted (e.g, RTM_DELADDR), even though it is not. Fix it so that none of this state is updated if the address is being kept on the interface. Tested: Added a statically configured IPv6 address to an interface, started ping, brought link down, brought link up again. When link came up ping kept on going and "ip -6 maddr" showed that the host was still subscribed to there Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

There're some percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings in recent kernel, which is resulted by fc66f95c. commit fc66f95c switches to use percpu_counter, in ip6_route_net_init, kernel init the percpu_counter for dst entries, but, the percpu_counter is never destroyed in ip6_route_net_exit. So if the related data is freed by kernel, the freed percpu_counter is still on the list, then if we insert/remove other percpu_counter, list corruption resulted. Also, if the insert/remove option modifies the ->prev,->next pointer of the freed value, the poison overwritten is resulted then.

2010-10-27tunnels: Fix tunnels change rcu protectionPavel Emelyanov
After making rcu protection for tunnels (ipip, gre, sit and ip6) a bug was introduced into the SIOCCHGTUNNEL code. The tunnel is first unlinked, then addresses change, then it is linked back probably into another bucket. But while changing the parms, the hash table is unlocked to readers and they can lookup the improper tunnel. Respective commits are b7285b79 (ipip: get rid of ipip_lock), 1507850b (gre: get rid of ipgre_lock), 3a43be3c (sit: get rid of ipip6_lock) and 94767632 (ip6tnl: get rid of ip6_tnl_lock). The quick fix is to wait for quiescent state to pass after unlinking, but if it is inappropriate I can invent something better, just let me know.

2010-10-26IPv6: Temp addresses are immediately deleted.Glenn Wurster
There is a bug in the interaction between ipv6_create_tempaddr and addrconf_verify. Because ipv6_create_tempaddr uses the cstamp and tstamp from the public address in creating a private address, if we have not received a router advertisement in a while, tstamp + temp_valid_lft might be < now. If this happens, the new address is created inside ipv6_create_tempaddr, then the loop within addrconf_verify starts again and the address is immediately deleted. We are left with no temporary addresses on the interface, and no more will be created until the public IP address is updated. To avoid this, set the expiry time to be the minimum of the time left on the public address or the config option PLUS the current age of the public interface.

__inet_inherit_port() When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket). Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break. This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port() failing.
