* netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-251-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: silence log messages for locally generated multicastJan Sembera2008-12-101-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time). Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been generated locally. Signed-off-by: Jan Sembera <jsembera@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds are supported. - Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event. Default is 1. - Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions: ndisc_build_skb() ndisc_send_skb() These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order. - Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond support to 3.4.0. On failover, this new code will generate one packet: - An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch learn that the address has moved to the new slave. Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

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: Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized by gcc.

When the garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the expired timer. The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer expires. When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner for the fib6_run_gc callers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network ↵Eric W. Biederman2008-01-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | namespaces 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.

* [NET]: Make rtnetlink infrastructure network namespace aware (v3)Denis V. Lunev2008-01-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After this patch none of the netlink callback support anything except the initial network namespace but the rtnetlink infrastructure now handles multiple network namespaces. Changes from v2: - IPv6 addrlabel processing Changes from v1: - no need for special rtnl_unlock handling - fixed IPv6 ndisc Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NETFILTER]: Introduce NF_INET_ hook valuesPatrick McHardy2008-01-281-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | The IPv4 and IPv6 hook values are identical, yet some code tries to figure out the "correct" value by looking at the address family. Introduce NF_INET_* values for both IPv4 and IPv6. The old values are kept in a #ifndef __KERNEL__ section for userspace compatibility.

* IPoIB: improve IPv4/IPv6 to IB mcast mapping functionsRolf Manderscheid2008-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An IPoIB subnet on an IB fabric that spans multiple IB subnets can't use link-local scope in multicast GIDs. The existing routines that map IP/IPv6 multicast addresses into IB link-level addresses hard-code the scope to link-local, and they also leave the partition key field uninitialised. This patch adds a parameter (the link-level broadcast address) to the mapping routines, allowing them to initialise both the scope and the P_Key appropriately, and fixes up the call sites. The next step will be to add a way to configure the scope for an IPoIB interface. Signed-off-by: Rolf Manderscheid <rvm@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
