1716a96101 ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache
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
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

8b2aaedee4 ipv6: Fix Smatch warning.
With commit d6ddef9e641d(IPv6: Fix not join all-router mcast group
when forwarding set.) I check 'dev' after it's dereference that
leads to a Smatch complaint:

net/ipv6/addrconf.c:438 ipv6_add_dev()

   432		rcu_assign_pointer(dev->ip6_ptr, ndev);
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Old dereference.

Remove the check to avoid the complaint as 'dev' can't be NULL.

013d97e9da net: race condition in ipv6 forwarding and disable_ipv6 parameters
There is a race condition in addrconf_sysctl_forward() and
addrconf_sysctl_disable().
These functions change idev->cnf.forwarding (resp. idev->cnf.disable_ipv6)
and then try to grab the rtnl lock before performing any actions.
If that fails they restore the original value and restart the syscall.
This creates race conditions if ipv6 code tries to access
these parameters, or if multiple instances try to do the same operation.
As an example of the former, if __ipv6_ifa_notify() finds a 0 in
idev->cnf.forwarding when invoked by addrconf_ifdown() it may not free
anycast addresses, ultimately resulting in the net_device not being freed.
This patch reads the user parameters into a temporary location and only
writes the actual parameters when the rtnl lock is acquired.
Tested in 2.6.38.8.

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.

Therefore using that route to determine whether an output nexthop gateway

4af04aba93 ipv6: Fix for adding multicast route for loopback device automatically.
There is no obvious reason to add a default multicast route for loopback
devices, otherwise there would be a route entry whose dst.error set to
-ENETUNREACH that would blocking all multicast packets.

====================

[ more detailed explanation ]

The problem is that the resulting routing table depends on the sequence
of interface's initialization and in some situation, that would block all
muticast packets. Suppose there are two interfaces on my computer
(lo and eth0), if we initailize 'lo' before 'eth0', the resuting routing
table(for multicast) would be

# ip -6 route show | grep ff00::
unreachable ff00::/8 dev lo metric 256 error -101
ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256

When sending multicasting packets, routing subsystem will return the first
route entry which with a error set to -101(ENETUNREACH).

I know the kernel will set the default ipv6 address for 'lo' when it is up
and won't set the default multicast route for it, but there is no reason to
stop 'init' program from setting address for 'lo', and that is exactly what
systemd did.

I am sure there is something wrong with kernel or systemd, currently I preferred
kernel caused this problem.

14ef37b6d0 ipv6: fix route lookup in addrconf_prefix_rcv()
The route lookup to find a previously auto-configured route for a prefixes used
to use rt6_lookup(), with the prefix from the RA used as an address. However,
that kind of lookup ignores routing tables, the prefix length and route flags,
so when there were other matching routes, even in different tables and/or with
a different prefix length, the wrong route would be manipulated.

Now, a new function "addrconf_get_prefix_route()" is used for the route lookup,
which searches in RT6_TABLE_PREFIX and takes the prefix-length and route flags
into account.

026359bc6e ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted
This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is
accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is
not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the
"accept_ra" sysctl is used.

The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode
("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard
Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was
that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl
documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore
been removed.

Rationale for the change:

Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining
whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent,
otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the
following cases:

* accept_ra=0, forwarding=0
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=1, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=2, forwarding=1

In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will
not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send
any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most
routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in
the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.)

Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS
sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being
accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect
to be the case.

f2c31e32b3 net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde (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.

- Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of

  but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA
  lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME:
  in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate
  addresses prematurely.

- Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941.

- Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid
  lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp.

be281e554e ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes
ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because
they use percpu storage.

needed size per device is :
(512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2

On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of
memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool.

Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t)

Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might
also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

73a8bd74e2 ipv6: Revert 'administrative down' address handling changes.
This reverts the following set of commits:

d1ed113f16 ("ipv6: remove duplicate neigh_ifdown")
29ba5fed1b ("ipv6: don't flush routes when setting loopback down")
9d82ca98f7 ("ipv6: fix missing in6_ifa_put in addrconf")
2de7957072 ("ipv6: addrconf: don't remove address state on ifdown if the address is being kept")
8595805aaf ("IPv6: only notify protocols if address is compeletely gone")
27bdb2abcc ("IPv6: keep tentative addresses in hash table")
93fa159abe ("IPv6: keep route for tentative address")

84e8b803f1 ("IPv6: addrconf notify when address is unavailable")
dc2b99f71e ("IPv6: keep permanent addresses on admin down")

because the core semantic change to ipv6 address handling on ifdown
has broken some things, in particular "disable_ipv6" sysctl handling.

Stephen has made several attempts to get things back in working order,
but nothing has restored disable_ipv6 fully yet.

2fdc1c8093 ipv6: Silence privacy extensions initialization
When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback
interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a
printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set.

This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as
part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of
vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless
"lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg.

It's easy enough to check the status of privacy extensions via the
use_tempaddr sysctl, so just removing the printk seems like the most
sensible solution.

29ba5fed1b ipv6: don't flush routes when setting loopback down
When loopback device is being brought down, then keep the route table
entries because they are special. The entries in the local table for
linklocal routes and ::1 address should not be purged.

This is a sub optimal solution to the problem and should be replaced
by a better fix in future.

cf7afbfeb8 rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes
are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and
one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already
leaving the link behind in a undefined state.

This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions
validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed
to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before
any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to
commit the changes later.

This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient
to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the
validation function method will not be able to detect all error
scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors
depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex
and thus may change between validation and setting.

Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and
config blocks for address families which did not register a set
function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are
returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without
notifying the user.
