commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

This ensures a linear behaviour when filling /proc/net/if_inet6 thus making
ifconfig run really fast on IPv6 only addresses. In fact, with this patch and
the IPv4 one sent a while ago, ifconfig will run in linear time regardless of
address type.IPv4 related patch: f04565ddf52e401880f8ba51de0dff8ba51c99fd

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
7ffbcecbeed91e5874e9a1cfc4c0cbb07dac3069). 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.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

The route we have here is for the address being added to the interface,
ie. for input packet processing.Therefore using that route to determine whether an output nexthop gateway
is known and resolved doesn't make any sense.So, simply remove this test, it never triggered anyways.

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 256When 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.====================

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.Signed-off-by: Andreas Hofmeister

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=1In 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.Signed-off-by: Tore Anderson

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.Reported-by: Gergely Kalman

Update the code to handle some of the differences between
RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple
of janitorial fixes.- Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of
temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041,
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.- Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.

address for /127 prefixes" says:| No need for matching code in addrconf_leave_anycast() as it
| will silently ignore any attempt to leave an unknown anycast
| address.After analysis, because 1) we may add two or more prefixes on the
same interface, or 2)user may have manually joined that anycast,
we may hit chances to have anycast address which as if we had
generated one by /127 prefix and we should not leave from subnet-
router anycast address unconditionally.CC: Bjørn Mork

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*2On 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.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

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.Signed-off-by: Romain Francoise
