ieee802154: 6lowpan: ensure MTU of 1280 for 6lowpan

2014-08-19T17:17:42Z

This patch drops the userspace accessable sysfs entry for the maximum datagram size of a 6LoWPAN fragment packet. A fragment should not have a datagram size value greater than 1280 byte. Instead of make this value configurable, we accept 1280 datagram size fragment packets only. Signed-off-by: Martin Townsend Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

netfilter: kill remnants of ulog targets

2014-07-25T12:55:44Z

The ulog targets were recently killed. A few references to the Kconfig macros CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG and CONFIG_BRIDGE_EBT_ULOG were left untouched. Kill these too. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains updates for your net-next tree, they are: 1) Use kvfree() helper function from x_tables, from Eric Dumazet. 2) Remove extra timer from the conntrack ecache extension, use a workqueue instead to redeliver lost events to userspace instead, from Florian Westphal. 3) Removal of the ulog targets for ebtables and iptables. The nflog infrastructure superseded this almost 9 years ago, time to get rid of this code. 4) Replace the list of loggers by an array now that we can only have two possible non-overlapping logger flavours, ie. kernel ring buffer and netlink logging. 5) Move Eric Dumazet's log buffer code to nf_log to reuse it from all of the supported per-family loggers. 6) Consolidate nf_log_packet() as an unified interface for packet logging. After this patch, if the struct nf_loginfo is available, it explicitly selects the logger that is used. 7) Move ip and ip6 logging code from xt_LOG to the corresponding per-family loggers. Thus, x_tables and nf_tables share the same code for packet logging. 8) Add generic ARP packet logger, which is used by nf_tables. The format aims to be consistent with the output of xt_LOG. 9) Add generic bridge packet logger. Again, this is used by nf_tables and it routes the packets to the real family loggers. As a result, we get consistent logging format for the bridge family. The ebt_log logging code has been intentionally left in place not to break backward compatibility since the logging output differs from xt_LOG. 10) Update nft_log to explicitly request the required family logger when needed. 11) Finish nft_log so it supports arp, ip, ip6, bridge and inet families. Allowing selection between netlink and kernel buffer ring logging. 12) Several fixes coming after the netfilter core logging changes spotted by robots. 13) Use IS_ENABLED() macros whenever possible in the netfilter tree, from Duan Jiong. 14) Removal of a couple of unnecessary branch before kfree, from Fabian Frederick. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/nf_tables fixes The following patchset contains nf_tables fixes, they are: 1) Fix wrong transaction handling when the table flags are not modified. 2) Fix missing rcu read_lock section in the netlink dump path, which is not protected by the nfnl_lock. 3) Set NLM_F_DUMP_INTR in the netlink dump path to indicate interferences with updates. 4) Fix 64 bits chain counters when they are retrieved from a 32 bits arch, from Eric Dumazet. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

netfilter: nf_tables: set NLM_F_DUMP_INTR if netlink dumping is stale

2014-07-14T10:00:16Z

An updater may interfer with the dumping of any of the object lists. Fix this by using a per-net generation counter and use the nl_dump_check_consistent() interface so the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag is set to notify userspace that it has to restart the dump since an updater has interfered. This patch also replaces the existing consistency checking code in the rule dumping path since it is broken. Basically, the value that the dump callback returns is not propagated to userspace via netlink_dump_start(). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit

2014-07-08T04:14:21Z

Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

netfilter: conntrack: remove timer from ecache extension

2014-06-25T17:15:38Z

This brings the (per-conntrack) ecache extension back to 24 bytes in size (was 152 byte on x86_64 with lockdep on). When event delivery fails, re-delivery is attempted via work queue. Redelivery is attempted at least every 0.1 seconds, but can happen more frequently if userspace is not congested. The nf_ct_release_dying_list() function is removed. With this patch, ownership of the to-be-redelivered conntracks (on-dying-list-with-DYING-bit not yet set) is with the work queue, which will release the references once event is out.
