Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
revmoed.In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
to pass one.Cc: "David Miller"

Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and
scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact)As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means
neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number
of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table)Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing
icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly
of hash table size.This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one.

in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in
NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour
to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3
skbs. If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on
the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb. This results in a drop
for which we have no statistics incremented. This patch adds an
unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these
lost frames.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry.There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns()
uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after
the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped
and the deleting procedure may proceed.One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too
big for -rc4.So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
the flags on alive pneigh entry.Changes from v2:
As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module.
The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL
does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the
exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.Changes from v1:

I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it
appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by
network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user
interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network
namespace of their devices.However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the
code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network
device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the
defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default.So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very
own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and
destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the
code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries
for devices of other namespaces.I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table
configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good
enough for now.I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network
namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The
hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a
limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care
of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and
used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single
neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink
operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call
neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more
refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra
filtering in the code.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with
->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead
state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev,
neigh->parms etc.The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead !=
0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup
it.I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing.
Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib
start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down. But it
would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

We have sent NA with router flag from the node-wide forwarding
configuration. This is not appropriate for proxy NA, and it should be
set according to each proxy entry's configuration.This is used by Mobile IPv6 home agent to support physical home link
in acting as a proxy router for mobile node which is not a router,
for example.Based on MIPL2 kernel patch.

The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doingip neigh replace lladdr nud reachable
Looking at the ARP tables by using
ip neigh show
will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that
we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel
drivers outside of infiniband use. The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree
driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of
the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and
it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up
this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems
with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared
between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's
no way to set/clear it safely.The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be
safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup. Two additional
patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the
NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is
spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message
size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message
in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as
statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set.
This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device
specific parameter sets.Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be
used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified
by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do
not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the
corresponding interface index.To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL
with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3],
NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked
otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by
setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding
device.Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
