* ipv6: change ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup to take net argumentRoopa Prabhu2015-07-311-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds net argument to ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup for use cases where sk is not available (like mpls). sk appears to be needed to get the namespace 'net' and is optional otherwise. This patch series changes ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup to take net argument. sk remains optional. All callers of ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup have been modified to pass net. I have modified them to use already available 'net' in the scope of the call. I can change them to sock_net(sk) to avoid any unintended change in behaviour if sock namespace is different. They dont seem to be from code inspection. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* ipv6: fix possible use after free of dev statsRobert Shearman2015-06-081-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memory pointed to by idev->stats.icmpv6msgdev, idev->stats.icmpv6dev and idev->stats.ipv6 can each be used in an RCU read context without taking a reference on idev. For example, through IP6_*_STATS_* calls in ip6_rcv. These memory blocks are freed without waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse. This could lead to the memory being written to after it has been freed. Fix this by using call_rcu to free the memory used for stats, as well as idev after an RCU grace period has elapsed.

* ipv6: coding style: comparison for inequality with NULLIan Morris2015-03-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter form. No changes detected by objdiff. Signed-off-by: Ian Morris <ipm@chirality.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* ipv6: remove rt6i_genidHannes Frederic Sowa2014-09-301-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric Dumazet noticed that all no-nonexthop or no-gateway routes which are already marked DST_HOST (e.g. input routes routes) will always be invalidated during sk_dst_check. Thus per-socket dst caching absolutely had no effect and early demuxing had no effect. Thus this patch removes rt6i_genid: fn_sernum already gets modified during add operations, so we only must ensure we mutate fn_sernum during ipv6 address remove operations. This is a fairly cost extensive operations, but address removal should not happen that often. Also our mtu update functions do the same and we heard no complains so far. xfrm policy changes also cause a call into fib6_flush_trees. Also plug a hole in rt6_info (no cacheline changes). I verified via tracing that this change has effect.

* net: clean up snmp stats codeWANG Cong2014-05-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 8f0ea0fe3a036a47767f9c80e (snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%) reduced snmp array size to 1, so technically it doesn't have to be an array any more. What's more, after the following commit: commit 933393f58fef9963eac61db8093689544e29a600 Date: Thu Dec 22 11:58:51 2011 -0600 percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86 and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption. probably no arch wants to have SNMP_ARRAY_SZ == 2. At least after almost 3 years, no one complains. So, just convert the array to a single pointer and remove snmp_mib_init() and snmp_mib_free() as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case IPv6 is compiled as a module, introduce a stub for ipv6_sock_mc_join and ipv6_sock_mc_drop etc.. It will be used by vxlan module. Suggested by Ben.

* [IPV6]: ipv6_addr_type() doesn't know about RFC4193 addresses.Dave Johnson2007-07-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ipv6_addr_type() doesn't check for 'Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses' (RFC4193) and returns IPV6_ADDR_RESERVED for that range. SCTP uses this function and will fail bind() and connect() calls that use RFC4193 addresses, SCTP will also ignore inbound connections from RFC4193 addresses if listening on IPV6_ADDR_ANY. There may be other users of ipv6_addr_type() that could also have problems.
