2011-12-30IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_routeJosh Hunt1-1/+1
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses "write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling "read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause network performance issues. To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3 cases: * doing nothing * reading ipv6 route table via proc (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done) * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done) * Load the ipv6 route table up with: * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done * iperf commands: * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr> * server: iperf -V -s * iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec) * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927 * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133 * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927 lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test. Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt <joshhunt00@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-12-29ipv6: Fix neigh lookup using NULL device.David S. Miller1-7/+10
In some of the rt6_bind_neighbour() call sites, it hasn't hooked up the rt->dst.dev pointer yet, so we'd deref a NULL pointer when obtaining dev->ifindex for the neighbour hash function computation.

2011-12-13ipv6: Check dest prefix length on original route not copied one in ↵David S. Miller1-1/+1
rt6_alloc_cow(). After commit 8e2ec639173f325977818c45011ee176ef2b11f6 ("ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.") the test in rt6_alloc_cow() for setting the ANYCAST flag is now wrong. 'rt' will always now have a plen of 128, because it is set explicitly to 128 by ip6_rt_copy. So to restore the semantics of the test, check the destination prefix length of 'ort'.

2011-12-13ipv6: If neigh lookup fails during icmp6 dst allocation, propagate error.David S. Miller1-2/+4
Don't just succeed with a route that has a NULL neighbour attached. This follows the behavior of addrconf_dst_alloc(). Allowing this kind of route to end up with a NULL neigh attached will result in packet drops on output until the route is somehow invalidated, since nothing will meanwhile try to lookup the neigh again. A statistic is bumped for the case where we see a neigh-less route on output, but the resulting packet drop is otherwise silent in nature, and frankly it's a hard error for this to happen and ipv6 should do what ipv4 does which is say something in the kernel logs.

2011-09-17ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.Yan, Zheng1-11/+22
Current IPv6 implementation uses inetpeer to store metrics for routes. The problem of inetpeer is that it doesn't take subnet prefix length in to consideration. If two routes have the same address but different prefix length, they share same inetpeer. So changing metrics of one route also affects the other. The fix is to allocate separate metrics storage for each route. Signed-off-by: Zheng Yan <zheng.z.yan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-08-03net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet1-10/+25
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

We currently cow metrics a bit too soon in IPv6 case : All routes are tied to a single inetpeer entry. Change ip6_rt_copy() to get destination address as second argument, so that we fill rt6i_dst before the dst_copy_metrics() call. icmp6_dst_alloc() must set rt6i_dst before calling dst_metric_set(), or else the cow is done while rt6i_dst is still NULL.

2011-07-01ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller1-6/+7
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-04-22inet: constify ip headers and in6_addrEric Dumazet1-26/+26
Add const qualifiers to structs iphdr, ipv6hdr and in6_addr pointers where possible, to make code intention more obvious. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-04-21ipv6: Remove hoplimit initialization to -1Thomas Egerer1-1/+0
The changes introduced with git-commit a02e4b7d ("ipv6: Demark default hoplimit as zero.") missed to remove the hoplimit initialization. As a result, ipv6_get_mtu interprets the return value of dst_metric_raw (-1) as 255 and answers ping6 with this hoplimit. This patche removes the line such that ping6 is answered with the hoplimit value configured via sysctl. Signed-off-by: Thomas Egerer <thomas.egerer@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-15ipv6: RTA_PREFSRC support for ipv6 route source address selectionDaniel Walter1-3/+69
[ipv6] Add support for RTA_PREFSRC This patch allows a user to select the preferred source address for a specific IPv6-Route. It can be set via a netlink message setting RTA_PREFSRC to a valid IPv6 address which must be up on the device the route will be bound to.

2011-03-12net: Put flowi_* prefix on AF independent members of struct flowiDavid S. Miller1-10/+10
I intend to turn struct flowi into a union of AF specific flowi structs. There will be a common structure that each variant includes first, much like struct sock_common. This is the first step to move in that direction. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
