  • Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
    be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
    without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

    This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
    as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
    without breaking compatibility.

    This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
    rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
    that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
    above that may be used arbitrarily.

  • fib_rules_register() duplicates the template passed to it without modification,
    mark the argument as const. Additionally the templates are only needed when
    instantiating a new namespace, so mark them as __net_initdata, which means
    they can be discarded when CONFIG_NET_NS=n.

  • Refactor the code so fib_rules_register always takes a template instead
    of the actual fib_rules_ops structure that will be used. This is
    required for network namespace support so 2 out of the 3 callers already
    do this, it allows the error handling to be made common, and it allows
    fib_rules_unregister to free the template for hte caller.

    Modify fib_rules_unregister to use call_rcu instead of syncrhonize_rcu
    to allw multiple namespaces to be cleaned up in the same rcu grace
    period.

    net: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule

    Allow to delete the local rule and recreate it with a higher priority. This
    can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead
    of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules
    with a priority of 0.

    Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can
    be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this:

    # move local rule to lower priority
    ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local
    ip rule del pref 0

    # route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant
    # of the destination address
    ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100
    ip route add default dev eth0 table 100

  • This patch fixes a small memory leak. Default fib rules can be deleted by
    the user if the rule does not carry FIB_RULE_PERMANENT flag, f.e. by
    ip rule flush

    Such a rule will not be freed as the ref-counter has 2 on start and becomes
    clearly unreachable after removal.

  • Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.

    The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
    userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
    or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
    but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
    sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
    validation error.

    Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
    by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
    length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
    zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
    checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
    availability of attribute.

  • Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
    field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
    its usage.

    The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
    to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
    obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
    additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
    and most distributions have all these options enabled
    by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
    the config options and enable mark based routing by
    default.
