inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count

2014-06-02T18:00:41Z

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP generator. linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge cost on servers disabling MTU discovery. 1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes 2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs, with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load. 3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth is about 20. 4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id()) 5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively. IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect' Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time, so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments with a recycled ID. We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP as a key. ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it belongs (it is only used from this file) secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed. Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add a sysctl to reflect the fwmark on replies

2014-05-13T22:35:08Z

Kernel-originated IP packets that have no user socket associated with them (e.g., ICMP errors and echo replies, TCP RSTs, etc.) are emitted with a mark of zero. Add a sysctl to make them have the same mark as the packet they are replying to. This allows an administrator that wishes to do so to use mark-based routing, firewalling, etc. for these replies by marking the original packets inbound. Tested using user-mode linux: - ICMP/ICMPv6 echo replies and errors. - TCP RST packets (IPv4 and IPv6). Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path.

2014-04-15T17:47:15Z

In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket. The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk' parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

ipv6: protect protocols not handling ipv4 from v4 connection/bind attempts

2014-01-22T00:59:19Z

Some ipv6 protocols cannot handle ipv4 addresses, so we must not allow connecting and binding to them. sendmsg logic does already check msg->name for this but must trust already connected sockets which could be set up for connection to ipv4 address family. Per-socket flag ipv6only is of no use here, as it is under users control by setsockopt. Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: add a flag to get the flow label used remotly

2014-01-20T01:12:31Z

This information is already available via IPV6_FLOWINFO of IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS, and them a filtering to get the flow label information. But it is probably logical and easier for users to add this here, and to control both sent/received flow label values with the IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR option.

ipv6: move IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT into ipv6.h and define a helper

2014-01-15T23:53:18Z

Two places defined IPV6_TCLASS_SHIFT, so we should move it into ipv6.h, and use this macro as possible. And define ip6_tclass helper to return tclass Signed-off-by: Li RongQing Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: namespace cleanups

2014-01-02T04:46:09Z

Running 'make namespacecheck' shows: net/ipv6/route.o ipv6_route_table_template rt6_bind_peer net/ipv6/icmp.o icmpv6_route_lookup ipv6_icmp_table_template This addresses some of those warnings by: * make icmpv6_route_lookup static * move inline's out of ip6_route.h since only used into route.c * move rt6_bind_peer into route.c Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2013-12-19 1) Use the user supplied policy index instead of a generated one if present. From Fan Du. 2) Make xfrm migration namespace aware. From Fan Du. 3) Make the xfrm state and policy locks namespace aware. From Fan Du. 4) Remove ancient sleeping when the SA is in acquire state, we now queue packets to the policy instead. This replaces the sleeping code. 5) Remove FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP. This was used to notify xfrm about the posibility to sleep. The sleeping code is gone, so remove it. 6) Check user specified spi for IPComp. Thr spi for IPcomp is only 16 bit wide, so check for a valid value. From Fan Du. 7) Export verify_userspi_info to check for valid user supplied spi ranges with pfkey and netlink. From Fan Du. 8) RFC3173 states that if the total size of a compressed payload and the IPComp header is not smaller than the size of the original payload, the IP datagram must be sent in the original non-compressed form. These packets are dropped by the inbound policy check because they are not transformed. Document the need to set 'level use' for IPcomp to receive such packets anyway. From Fan Du. Please pull or let me know if there are problems. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
