2014-07-31net: fix the counter ICMP_MIB_INERRORS/ICMP6_MIB_INERRORSDuan Jiong
When dealing with ICMPv[46] Error Message, function icmp_socket_deliver() and icmpv6_notify() do some valid checks on packet's length, but then some protocols check packet's length redaudantly. So remove those duplicated statements, and increase counter ICMP_MIB_INERRORS/ICMP6_MIB_INERRORS in function icmp_socket_deliver() and icmpv6_notify() respectively. In addition, add missed counter in udp6/udplite6 when socket is NULL.

2014-05-13net: add a sysctl to reflect the fwmark on repliesLorenzo Colitti
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 <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-31ipv6: some ipv6 statistic counters failed to disable bhHannes Frederic Sowa
After commit c15b1ccadb323ea ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue") some counters are now updated in process context and thus need to disable bh before doing so, otherwise deadlocks can happen on 32-bit archs. Fabio Estevam noticed this while while mounting a NFS volume on an ARM board. As a compensation for missing this I looked after the other *_STATS_BH and found three other calls which need updating: 1) icmp6_send: ip6_fragment -> icmpv6_send -> icmp6_send (error handling) 2) ip6_push_pending_frames: rawv6_sendmsg -> rawv6_push_pending_frames -> ... (only in case of icmp protocol with raw sockets in error handling) 3) ping6_v6_sendmsg (error handling) Fixes: c15b1ccadb323ea ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue") Reported-by: Fabio Estevam <festevam@gmail.com> Tested-by: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-02-09ipv6: icmp6_send: fix Oops when pinging a not set up IPv6 peer on a sit tunnelFX Le Bail
The patch 446fab59333dea91e54688f033dd8d788d0486fb ("ipv6: enable anycast addresses as source addresses in ICMPv6 error messages") causes an Oops when pinging a not set up IPv6 peer on a sit tunnel. The problem is that ipv6_anycast_destination() uses unconditionally skb_dst(skb), which is NULL in this case. The solution is to use instead the ipv6_chk_acast_addr_src() function. Here are the steps to reproduce it: modprobe sit ip link add sit1 type sit remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249 ip l s sit1 up ip -6 a a dev sit1 2001:1234::123 remote 2001:1234::121 ping6 2001:1234::121 Reported-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Tested-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Francois-Xavier Le Bail <fx.lebail@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-05ipv6:introduce function to find route for redirectDuan Jiong
RFC 4861 says that the IP source address of the Redirect is the same as the current first-hop router for the specified ICMP Destination Address, so the gateway should be taken into consideration when we find the route for redirect. There was once a check in commit a6279458c534d01ccc39498aba61c93083ee0372 ("NDISC: Search over all possible rules on receipt of redirect.") and the check went away in commit b94f1c0904da9b8bf031667afc48080ba7c3e8c9 ("ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of rt6_redirect()"). The bug is only "exploitable" on layer-2 because the source address of the redirect is checked to be a valid link-local address but it makes spoofing a lot easier in the same L2 domain nonetheless.

2013-05-25net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.Lorenzo Colitti
This adds the ability to send ICMPv6 echo requests without a raw socket. The equivalent ability for ICMPv4 was added in 2011. Instead of having separate code paths for IPv4 and IPv6, make most of the code in net/ipv4/ping.c dual-stack and only add a few IPv6-specific bits (like the protocol definition) to a new net/ipv6/ping.c. Hopefully this will reduce divergence and/or duplication of bugs in the future. Caveats: - Setting options via ancillary data (e.g., using IPV6_PKTINFO to specify the outgoing interface) is not yet supported. - There are no separate security settings for IPv4 and IPv6; everything is controlled by /proc/net/ipv4/ping_group_range. - The proc interface does not yet display IPv6 ping sockets properly.

2012-06-15ipv6: Handle PMTU in ICMP error handlers.David S. Miller
One tricky issue on the ipv6 side vs. ipv4 is that the ICMP callouts to handle the error pass the 32-bit info cookie in network byte order whereas ipv4 passes it around in host byte order. Like the ipv4 side, we have two helper functions. One for when we have a socket context and one for when we do not. ip6ip6 tunnels are not handled here, because they handle PMTU events by essentially relaying another ICMP packet-too-big message back to the original sender. This patch allows us to get rid of rt6_do_pmtu_disc(). It handles all kinds of situations that simply cannot happen when we do the PMTU update directly using a fully resolved route. In fact, the "plen == 128" check in ip6_rt_update_pmtu() can very likely be removed or changed into a BUG_ON() check. We should never have a prefixed ipv6 route when we get there. Another piece of strange history here is that TCP and DCCP, unlike in ipv4, never invoke the update_pmtu() method from their ICMP error handlers. This is incredibly astonishing since this is the context where we have the most accurate context in which to make a PMTU update, namely we have a fully connected socket and associated cached socket route.

2011-10-13net: more accurate skb truesizeEric Dumazet
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head. kmalloc() roundings are also ignored. Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to take it into account for better memory accounting. This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various assumptions into a single place. At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks. Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are aligned to cache lines, as before. Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a more accurate memory accounting.
