d7480fd3b1 neigh: remove dynamic neigh table registration support
Currently there are only three neigh tables in the whole kernel:
arp table, ndisc table and decnet neigh table. What's more,
we don't support registering multiple tables per family.
Therefore we can just make these tables statically built-in.

4c83acbc56 ipv6: White-space cleansing : gaps between function and symbol export
This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

This patch removes some blank lines between the end of a function
definition and the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro in order to prevent
checkpatch warning that EXPORT_SYMBOL must immediately follow
a function.

d933319657 ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.
This can be used in virtual networking applications, and
may have other uses as well.  The option is disabled by
default.

A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and
hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or
virtual machines.  With proper use of ip rules, routing tables,
veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces,
and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses,
it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple
hosts attached.  The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems,
with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers.  With the
option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly
obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd.

be7a010d6f ipv6: update Destination Cache entries when gateway turn into host
RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5:

	The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the
         Router flag in the received advertisement.  In those cases
         where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result
         of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the
         Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries
         for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as
         specified in Section 7.3.3.  This is needed to detect when a
         node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to
         being configured as a host.

Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from
TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List,
and don't update the Destination Cache entries.

Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce
function rt6_clean_tohost().

2c861cc65e ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is ready
When loading the ipv6 module, ndisc_init() is called before
ip6_route_init(). As the former registers a handler calling
fib6_run_gc(), this opens a window to run the garbage collector
before necessary data structures are initialized. If a network
device is initialized in this window, adding MAC address to it
triggers a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event, leading to a crash in
fib6_clean_all().

Take the event handler registration out of ndisc_init() into a
separate function ndisc_late_init() and move it after
ip6_route_init().

b55b76b221 ipv6:introduce function to find route for redirect
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
a6279458c5 ("NDISC: Search over
all possible rules on receipt of redirect.") and the check
went away in commit b94f1c0904
("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.

Thanks very much for Hannes's help.

25a6e6b84f ipv6: Don't depend on per socket memory for neighbour discovery messages
Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages
currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace
socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space.

If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier
loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume
all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to
be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets.

The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited,
use of alloc_skb() bypasses the socket wmem buffer size enforcement
while the manual call to skb_set_owner_w() maintains the socket
reference needed for the IPv6 output path.

This patch has orginally been posted by Eric Dumazet in a modified
form.

3e25c65ed0 net: neighbour: Remove CONFIG_ARPD
This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call
to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no
change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify()
for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a
user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e.,
the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.

2ac3ac8f86 ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention
On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.

This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.

Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().

Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.

The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved.  In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported.  Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.

However, the dump handlers to not use this logic.  Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking.  There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so.  So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.

To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

b7dc8c3959 ndisc: Remove unused space at tail of skb for ndisc messages. (TAKE 3)
Currently, the size of skb allocated for NDISC is MAX_HEADER +
LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) + packet length + dev->needed_tailroom,
but only LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) bytes is "reserved" for headers.
As a result, the skb looks like this (after construction of the
message):

head       data                   tail                       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+           |                      |          |                |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|<--MAX_HEADER-->|
    =LL_                               = dev
     RESERVED_                           ->needed_
     SPACE(dev)                            tailroom

As the name implies, "MAX_HEADER" is used for headers, and should
be "reserved" in prior to packet construction.  Or, if some space
is really required at the tail of ther skb, it should be
explicitly documented.

We have several option after construction of NDISC message:

Option 1:

head       data                   tail       end
+---------------------------------------------+
+           |                      |          |
+---------------------------------------------+
|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
   =LL_                                = dev
    RESERVED_                           ->needed_
    SPACE(dev)                            tailroom

Option 2:

head            data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------+
+                |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                                            = dev
                                             ->needed_
                                               tailroom

Option 3:

head                        data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+                |           |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                    =LL_                                = dev
                     RESERVED_                          ->needed_
                     SPACE(dev)                           tailroom

Our tunnel drivers try expanding headroom and the space for tunnel
encapsulation was not a mandatory space -- so we are not seeing
bugs here --, but just for optimization for performance critial
situations.

Since NDISC messages are not performance critical unlike TCP,
and as we know outgoing device, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) should be
just enough for the device in most (if not all) cases:
  LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) <= LL_MAX_HEADER <= MAX_HEADER
Note that LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) is also enough for NDISC over
SIT (e.g., ISATAP).

So, I think Option 1 is just fine here.

If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet.
this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag.
So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run.

Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires.
When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use.
we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from.
The dst.from is only used in IPV6.

rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired.

ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.

Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together.
and change the code to use these new adding functions.

Changes from v5:
modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions.

Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF

e6bff995f8 ipv6: Check RA for sllao when configuring optimistic ipv6 address (v2)
Recently Dave noticed that a test we did in ipv6_add_addr to see if we next hop
route for the interface we're adding an addres to was wrong (see commit
7ffbcecbee).  for one, it never triggers, and two,
it was completely wrong to begin with.  This test was meant to cover this
section of RFC 4429:

3.3 Modifications to RFC 2462 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration

   * (modifies section 5.5) A host MAY choose to configure a new address
        as an Optimistic Address.  A host that does not know the SLLAO
        of its router SHOULD NOT configure a new address as Optimistic.
        A router SHOULD NOT configure an Optimistic Address.

This patch should bring us into proper compliance with the above clause.  Since
we only add a SLAAC address after we've received a RA which may or may not
contain a source link layer address option, we can pass a pointer to that option
to addrconf_prefix_rcv (which may be null if the option is not present), and
only set the optimistic flag if the option was found in the RA.

Change notes:
(v2) modified the new parameter to addrconf_prefix_rcv to be a bool rather than
a pointer to make its use more clear as per request from davem.

2c2aba6c56 ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.
In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers,
we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element.

Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6.

a7ae199224 ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE
ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv6
with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to
needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

Ouch, this was fixed on one machine yesterday, but not the other one I

[PATCH V5 net-next] neigh: new unresolved queue limits

unres_qlen is the number of frames we are able to queue per unresolved
neighbour. Its default value (3) was never changed and is responsible
for strange drops, especially if IP fragments are used, or multiple
sessions start in parallel. Even a single tcp flow can hit this limit.

$ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 2 -s 8000 192.168.20.108
PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 8000(8028) bytes of data.
8008 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.322 ms

9f56220fad ipv6: Do not use routes from locally generated RAs
When hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra == 2), the kernel also sees RAs
generated locally. This is useful since it allows the kernel to auto-configure
its own interface addresses.

However, if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and/or 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' are set and the
locally generated RAs announce the default route and/or other route information,
the kernel happily inserts bogus routes with its own address as gateway.

With this patch, adding routes from an RA will be skiped when the RAs source
address matches any local address, just as if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and
'accept_ra_rtr_pref' were set to 0.

This will get us closer to being able to do "neigh stuff"
completely independent of the underlying dst_entry for
protocols (ipv4/ipv6) that wish to do so.

We will also be able to make dst entries neigh-less.
