ipv6: fill rt6i_gateway with nexthop address

2013-10-21T22:37:01Z

Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly attached to skb for generated ICMP packets. The effect of this patch should be a faster version of rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as nexthop.

ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present

2013-10-21T22:37:00Z

In v3.9 6fd6ce2056de2709 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2() such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used instead of an assigned neighbor. As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing compared to the destination address. Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway in rt6_nexthop(). Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is not wrongly diverted to the destination address. Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the problematic commit. Thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa for his review and help in testing.

net: fix cipso packet validation when !NETLABEL

2013-10-19T22:55:42Z

When CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, the cipso_v4_validate() function could loop forever in the main loop if opt[opt_iter +1] == 0, this will causing a kernel crash in an SMP system, since the CPU executing this function will stall /not respond to IPIs. This problem can be reproduced by running the IP Stack Integrity Checker (http://isic.sourceforge.net) using the following command on a Linux machine connected to DUT: "icmpsic -s rand -d -r 123456" wait (1-2 min) Signed-off-by: Seif Mazareeb Acked-by: Paul Moore Signed-off-by: David S.

vxlan: Use RCU apis to access sk_user_data.

2013-09-30T18:22:59Z

Use of RCU api makes vxlan code easier to understand. It also fixes bug due to missing ACCESS_ONCE() on sk_user_data dereference. In rare case without ACCESS_ONCE() compiler might omit vs on sk_user_data dereference. Compiler can use vs as alias for sk->sk_user_data, resulting in multiple sk_user_data dereference in rcu read context which could change.

netfilter: synproxy: fix BUG_ON triggered by corrupt TCP packets

2013-09-30T10:44:38Z

TCP packets hitting the SYN proxy through the SYNPROXY target are not validated by TCP conntrack. When th->doff is below 5, an underflow happens when calculating the options length, causing skb_header_pointer() to return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON(). Handle this case gracefully by checking for NULL instead of using BUG_ON(). Reported-by: Martin Topholm Tested-by: Martin Topholm Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso
