Minor overlapping changes in net/ipv4/ipmr.c, in 'net' we were fixing the "BH-ness" of the counter bumps whilst in 'net-next' the functions were modified to take an explicit 'net' parameter. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: fix to not remove local route on link down

2015-11-01T21:57:39Z

When fib_netdev_event calls fib_disable_ip on NETDEV_DOWN event we should not delete the local routes if the local address is still present. The confusion comes from the fact that both fib_netdev_event and fib_inetaddr_event use the NETDEV_DOWN constant. Fix it by returning back the variable 'force'. Steps to reproduce: modprobe dummy ifconfig dummy0 192.168.168.1 up ifconfig dummy0 down ip route list table local | grep dummy | grep host local 192.168.168.1 dev dummy0 proto kernel scope host src 192.168.168.1 Fixes: 8a3d03166f19 ("net: track link-status of ipv4 nexthops") Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Refactor path selection in __ip_route_output_key_hash

2015-10-07T11:27:44Z

VRF device needs the same path selection following lookup to set source address. Rather than duplicating code, move existing code into a function that is exported to modules. Code move only; no functional change. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Fix behaviour of unreachable, blackhole and prohibit routes

2015-09-21T04:45:08Z

Man page of ip-route(8) says following about route types: unreachable - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐ carded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated. The local senders get an EHOSTUNREACH error. blackhole - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐ carded silently. The local senders get an EINVAL error. prohibit - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the ICMP message communication administratively prohibited is generated. The local senders get an EACCES error. In the inet6 address family, this was correct, except the local senders got ENETUNREACH error instead of EHOSTUNREACH in case of unreachable route. In the inet address family, all three route types generated ICMP message net unreachable, and the local senders got ENETUNREACH error. In both address families all three route types now behave consistently with documentation. Signed-off-by: Nikola Forró Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: consider TOS in fib_select_default

2015-07-25T05:46:11Z

fib_select_default considers alternative routes only when res->fi is for the first alias in res->fa_head. In the common case this can happen only when the initial lookup matches the first alias with highest TOS value. This prevents the alternative routes to require specific TOS. This patch solves the problem as follows: - routes that require specific TOS should be returned by fib_select_default only when TOS matches, as already done in fib_table_lookup. This rule implies that depending on the TOS we can have many different lists of alternative gateways and we have to keep the last used gateway (fa_default) in first alias for the TOS instead of using single tb_default value. - as the aliases are ordered by many keys (TOS desc, fib_priority asc), we restrict the possible results to routes with matching TOS and lowest metric (fib_priority) and routes that match any TOS, again with lowest metric. For example, packet with TOS 8 can not use gw3 (not lowest metric), gw4 (different TOS) and gw6 (not lowest metric), all other gateways can be used: tos 8 via gw1 metric 2 <--- res->fa_head and res->fi tos 8 via gw2 metric 2 tos 8 via gw3 metric 3 tos 4 via gw4 tos 0 via gw5 tos 0 via gw6 metric 1 Reported-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ipv4 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down

2015-06-24T09:15:54Z

This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the interface has IFF_UP cleared. With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed (interface p8p1 is link-down): default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache 80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15 cache While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.56.2 90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1 cache and the output changes to what one would expect. If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when p8p1 is down: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down. v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches, this actually makes a behavioral change if the sysctl is set. Also took suggestion from Alex to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. v3: Code clean-ups to make it more readable and efficient as well as a reverse path check fix. v4: Drop binary sysctl v5: Whitespace fixups from Dave v6: Style changes from Dave and checkpatch suggestions v7: One more checkpatch fixup Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek Signed-off-by: Dinesh Dutt Acked-by: Scott Feldman Signed-off-by: David S.

net: track link-status of ipv4 nexthops

2015-06-24T09:15:54Z

Add a fib flag called RTNH_F_LINKDOWN to any ipv4 nexthops that are reachable via an interface where carrier is off. No action is taken, but additional flags are passed to userspace to indicate carrier status. This also includes a cleanup to fib_disable_ip to more clearly indicate what event made the function call to replace the more cryptic force option previously used. v2: Split out kernel functionality into 2 patches, this patch simply sets and clears new nexthop flag RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. v3: Cleanups suggested by Alex as well as a bug noticed in fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up when multipath was not enabled. v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave. v6: Style fixups noticed by Dave; ran checkpatch to be sure I got them all.
