b7dc8c3959 ndisc: Remove unused space at tail of skb for ndisc messages. (TAKE 3)
Currently, the size of skb allocated for NDISC is MAX_HEADER +
LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) + packet length + dev->needed_tailroom,
but only LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) bytes is "reserved" for headers.
As a result, the skb looks like this (after construction of the
message):

head       data                   tail                       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+           |                      |          |                |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|<--MAX_HEADER-->|
    =LL_                               = dev
     RESERVED_                           ->needed_
     SPACE(dev)                            tailroom

As the name implies, "MAX_HEADER" is used for headers, and should
be "reserved" in prior to packet construction.  Or, if some space
is really required at the tail of ther skb, it should be
explicitly documented.

We have several option after construction of NDISC message:

Option 1:

head       data                   tail       end
+---------------------------------------------+
+           |                      |          |
+---------------------------------------------+
|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
   =LL_                                = dev
    RESERVED_                           ->needed_
    SPACE(dev)                            tailroom

Option 2:

head            data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------+
+                |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                                            = dev
                                             ->needed_
                                               tailroom

Option 3:

head                        data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+                |           |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                    =LL_                                = dev
                     RESERVED_                          ->needed_
                     SPACE(dev)                           tailroom

Our tunnel drivers try expanding headroom and the space for tunnel
encapsulation was not a mandatory space -- so we are not seeing
bugs here --, but just for optimization for performance critial
situations.

Since NDISC messages are not performance critical unlike TCP,
and as we know outgoing device, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) should be
just enough for the device in most (if not all) cases:
  LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) <= LL_MAX_HEADER <= MAX_HEADER
Note that LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) is also enough for NDISC over
SIT (e.g., ISATAP).

So, I think Option 1 is just fine here.

093d04d42f ipv6: Change skb->data before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect
In function ndisc_redirect_rcv(), the skb->data points to the transport
header, but function icmpv6_notify() need the skb->data points to the
inner IP packet. So before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect,
change skb->data to point the inner IP packet that triggered the sending
of the Redirect, and introduce struct rd_msg to make it easy.

7bdc1b4aba ndisc: Fix padding error in link-layer address option.
If a natural number n exists where 2 + data_len <= 8n < 2 + data_len + pad,
post padding is not initialized correctly.

(Un)fortunately, the only type that requires pad is Infiniband,
whose pad is 2 and data_len is 20, and this logical error has not
become obvious, but it is better to fix.

Note that ndisc_opt_addr_space() handles the situation described
above correctly.

As of 026359b [ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted], the
logic determining whether to send Router Solicitations is identical
to the logic determining whether kernel accepts Router Advertisements.

However the condition itself is repeated in several code locations.

Unify it by introducing 'ipv6_accept_ra()' accessor.

Also, simplify the condition expression, making it more readable.

1716a96101 ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache
If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet.
this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag.
So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run.

Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires.
When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use.
we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from.
The dst.from is only used in IPV6.

rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired.

ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.

Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together.
and change the code to use these new adding functions.

Changes from v5:
modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions.

Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

e6bff995f8 ipv6: Check RA for sllao when configuring optimistic ipv6 address (v2)
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
7ffbcecbee).  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.

ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv6
with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to
needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

Ouch, this was fixed on one machine yesterday, but not the other one I
used this morning, sorry.

[PATCH V5 net-next] neigh: new unresolved queue limits

unres_qlen is the number of frames we are able to queue per unresolved
neighbour. Its default value (3) was never changed and is responsible
for strange drops, especially if IP fragments are used, or multiple
sessions start in parallel. Even a single tcp flow can hit this limit.

$ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 2 -s 8000 192.168.20.108
PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 8000(8028) bytes of data.
8008 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.322 ms

9f56220fad ipv6: Do not use routes from locally generated RAs
When hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra == 2), the kernel also sees RAs
generated locally. This is useful since it allows the kernel to auto-configure
its own interface addresses.

However, if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and/or 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' are set and the
locally generated RAs announce the default route and/or other route information,
the kernel happily inserts bogus routes with its own address as gateway.

With this patch, adding routes from an RA will be skiped when the RAs source
address matches any local address, just as if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and
'accept_ra_rtr_pref' were set to 0.

cfdf76474e ipv6: some RCU conversions
ICMP and ND are not fast path, but still we can avoid changing idev
refcount, using RCU.

9cbb7ecbcf ipv6: Get rid of rt6i_nexthop macro.
It just makes it harder to see 1) what the code is doing
and 2) grep for all users of dst{->,.}neighbour

8f40b161de neigh: Pass neighbour entry to output ops.
This will get us closer to being able to do "neigh stuff"
completely independent of the underlying dst_entry for
protocols (ipv4/ipv6) that wish to do so.

We will also be able to make dst entries neigh-less.
