tcp: heed result of security_inet_conn_request() in tcp_v6_conn_request()

2012-06-25T23:05:19Z

If security_inet_conn_request() returns non-zero then TCP/IPv6 should drop the request, just as in TCP/IPv4 and DCCP in both IPv4 and IPv6. Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: fib: fix fib dump restart

2012-06-25T22:37:19Z

Commit 2bec5a369ee79576a3 (ipv6: fib: fix crash when changing large fib while dumping it) introduced ability to restart the dump at tree root, but failed to skip correctly a count of already dumped entries. Code didn't match Patrick intent. We must skip exactly the number of already dumped entries. Note that like other /proc/net files or netlink producers, we could still dump some duplicates entries.

ipv6: Move ipv6 proc file registration to end of init order

2012-06-19T01:38:50Z

/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed. This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants down. Move the registration of the proc files to a later point in the init order to avoid the race. Tested :-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Revert "ipv6: Prevent access to uninitialized fib_table_hash via /proc/net/ipv6_route"

2012-06-16T08:12:19Z

This reverts commit 2a0c451ade8e1783c5d453948289e4a978d417c9. It causes crashes, because now ip6_null_entry is used before it is initialized. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Prevent access to uninitialized fib_table_hash via /proc/net/ipv6_route

2012-06-15T22:30:15Z

/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed. This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants down. fib6_init() as a whole can't be moved to an earlier position as it also registers the rtnetlink message handlers which should be registered at the end. Therefore split it into fib6_init() which is run early and fib6_init_late() to register the rtnetlink message handlers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Reviewed-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.

snmp: fix OutOctets counter to include forwarded datagrams

2012-06-07T21:50:56Z

RFC 4293 defines ipIfStatsOutOctets (similar definition for ipSystemStatsOutOctets): The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the lower layers for transmission. Octets from datagrams counted in ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here. And ipIfStatsOutTransmits: The total number of IP datagrams that this entity supplied to the lower layers for transmission. This includes datagrams generated locally and those forwarded by this entity. Therefore, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS. IP_UPD_PO_STATS is not used since ipIfStatsOutRequests must not include forwarded datagrams: The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams. Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets

2012-06-01T18:22:11Z

While testing how linux behaves on SYNFLOOD attack on multiqueue device (ixgbe), I found that SYNACK messages were dropped at Qdisc level because we send them all on a single queue. Obvious choice is to reflect incoming SYN packet @queue_mapping to SYNACK packet. Under stress, my machine could only send 25.000 SYNACK per second (for 200.000 incoming SYN per second). NIC : ixgbe with 16 rx/tx queues. After patch, not a single SYNACK is dropped.

ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragment

2012-05-27T05:11:22Z

Since commit ad0081e43a "ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed" the fragment of packets is incorrect. because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments, while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the first fragment and the trailer to the last. so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first or last. with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu) and does not trigger slow fragment path. Changes from v1: though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete. replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL. add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

xfrm: take net hdr len into account for esp payload size calculation

2012-05-27T05:08:29Z

Corrects the function that determines the esp payload size. The calculations done in esp{4,6}_get_mtu() lead to overlength frames in transport mode for certain mtu values and suboptimal frames for others. According to what is done, mainly in esp{,6}_output() and tcp_mtu_to_mss(), net_header_len must be taken into account before doing the alignment calculation.
