* ipv6: Add IFA_F_DADFAILED flagBrian Haley2009-09-111-5/+7

* IPv6: preferred lifetime of address not getting updatedBrian Haley2009-07-041-3/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a bug in addrconf_prefix_rcv() where it won't update the preferred lifetime of an IPv6 address if the current valid lifetime of the address is less than 2 hours (the minimum value in the RA). For example, If I send a router advertisement with a prefix that has valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 2 hours we'll build this address: 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 7175sec preferred_lft 7175sec If I then send the same prefix with valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 0 it will be ignored since the minimum valid lifetime is 2 hours: 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 7161sec preferred_lft 7161sec But according to RFC 4862 we should always reset the preferred lifetime even if the valid lifetime is invalid, which would cause the address to immediately get deprecated. So with this patch we'd see this: 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:21f:29ff:fe5a:ef04/64 scope global deprecated dynamic valid_lft 7163sec preferred_lft 0sec The comment winds-up being 5x the size of the code to fix the problem. Update the preferred lifetime of IPv6 addresses derived from a prefix info option in a router advertisement even if the valid lifetime in the option is invalid, as specified in RFC 4862 Section 5.5.3e. Fixes an issue where an address will not immediately become deprecated. Reported by Jens Rosenboom. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ipv6: Fix incorrect disable_ipv6 behaviorBrian Haley2009-03-191-7/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure() to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects. If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1, but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be added in the first place.

| * netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panicDaniel Lezcano2009-03-031-30/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice notifier. In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-251-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

| * ipv6: fix run pending DAD when interface becomes readyBenjamin Thery2008-11-051-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With some net devices types, an IPv6 address configured while the interface was down can stay 'tentative' forever, even after the interface is set up. In some case, pending IPv6 DADs are not executed when the device becomes ready. I observed this while doing some tests with kvm. If I assign an IPv6 address to my interface eth0 (kvm driver rtl8139) when it is still down then the address is flagged tentative (IFA_F_TENTATIVE). Then, I set eth0 up, and to my surprise, the address stays 'tentative', no DAD is executed and the address can't be pinged. I also observed the same behaviour, without kvm, with virtual interfaces types macvlan and veth. Some easy steps to reproduce the issue with macvlan: 1. ip link add link eth0 type macvlan 2. ip -6 addr add 2003::ab32/64 dev macvlan0 3. ip addr show dev macvlan0 ... inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative ... 4. ip link set macvlan0 up 5. ip addr show dev macvlan0 ... inet6 2003::ab32/64 scope global tentative ... Address is still tentative I think there's a bug in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, addrconf_notify(): addrconf_dad_run() is not always run when the interface is flagged IF_READY. Currently it is only run when receiving NETDEV_CHANGE event. Looks like some (virtual) devices doesn't send this event when becoming up. For both NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_CHANGE events, when the interface becomes ready, run_pending should be set to 1. Patch below. 'run_pending = 1' could be moved below the if/else block but it makes the code less readable. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ipv6: protocol for address routesStephen Hemminger2008-08-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected route, and other as a kernel route. When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it already has the connected route. The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol == RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.
