It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.
I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.
I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
for TFO listeners. This includes -
1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled
2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
finishes
3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
if it's a TFO socket
4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
finishes
5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option
6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
as request_sock
7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option
8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
the 3WHS is completed.
The patch also contains an important function
"reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

ICMPv6 error messages are tracked by extracting the conntrack tuple of
the inner packet and looking up the corresponding conntrack entry. Tuple
extraction uses the ->get_l4proto() callback, which in case of fragments
returns NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT instead of the upper protocol, even for the
first fragment when the entire next header is present, resulting in a
failure to find the correct connection tracking entry.
This patch changes ipv6_get_l4proto() to use ipv6_skip_exthdr() instead
of nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() in order to skip fragment headers when the
fragment offset is zero.
Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
The IPv6 conntrack fragmentation currently has a couple of shortcomings.
Fragmentes are collected in PREROUTING/OUTPUT, are defragmented, the
defragmented packet is then passed to conntrack, the resulting conntrack
information is attached to each original fragment and the fragments then
continue their way through the stack.
Helper invocation occurs in the POSTROUTING hook, at which point only
the original fragments are available. The result of this is that
fragmented packets are never passed to helpers.
This patch improves the situation in the following way:
- If a reassembled packet belongs to a connection that has a helper
assigned, the reassembled packet is passed through the stack instead
of the original fragments.
- During defragmentation, the largest received fragment size is stored.
On output, the packet is refragmented if required. If the largest
received fragment size exceeds the outgoing MTU, a "packet too big"
message is generated, thus behaving as if the original fragments
were passed through the stack from an outside point of view.
- The ipv6_helper() hook function can't receive fragments anymore for
connections using a helper, so it is switched to use ipv6_skip_exthdr()
instead of the netfilter specific nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() and the
reassembled packets are passed to connection tracking helpers.
The result of this is that we can properly track fragmented packets, but
still generate ICMPv6 Packet too big messages if we would have before.
This patch is also required as a precondition for IPv6 NAT, where NAT
helpers might enlarge packets up to a point that they require
fragmentation. In that case we can't generate Packet too big messages
since the proper MTU can't be calculated in all cases (f.i. when
changing textual representation of a variable amount of addresses),
so the packet is transparently fragmented iff the original packet or
fragments would have fit the outgoing MTU.

I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to
a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues.
These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls.
We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before
kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed
device swap on busy dst.
To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called
after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock.
Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care !
Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL
Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after

This commit removes the sk_rx_dst_set calls from
tcp_create_openreq_child(), because at that point the icsk_af_ops
field of ipv6_mapped TCP sockets has not been set to its proper final
value.
Instead, to make sure we get the right sk_rx_dst_set variant
appropriate for the address family of the new connection, we have
tcp_v{4,6}_syn_recv_sock() directly call the appropriate function
shortly after the call to tcp_create_openreq_child() returns.
This also moves inet6_sk_rx_dst_set() to avoid a forward declaration
with the new approach.

Correct a long standing omission and use struct pid in the owner

In /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel capture the current pid namespace when

When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already

The reason of this problem is in the following satement:
rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX
gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus
a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX.

ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than
mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit)
One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling
icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu));
We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e (ipv6: disable GSO on
sockets hitting dst_allfrag).
Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp
sessions paid a too big latency increase price.
This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU
reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay
is added in TCP transmits.

These patches implement the final mechanism necessary to really allow
us to go without the route cache in ipv4.
We need a place to have long-term storage of PMTU/redirect information
which is independent of the routes themselves, yet does not get us
back into a situation where we have to write to metrics or anything
like that.
For this we use an "next-hop exception" table in the FIB nexthops.
The one thing I desperately want to avoid is having to create clone
routes in the FIB trie for this purpose, because that is very
expensive. However, I'm willing to entertain such an idea later
if this current scheme proves to have downsides that the FIB trie
variant would not have.
In order to accomodate this any such scheme, we need to be able to
produce a full flow key at PMTU/redirect time. That required an
adjustment of the interface call-sites used to propagate these events.
For a PMTU/redirect with a fully specified socket, we pass that socket
and use it to produce the flow key.
Otherwise we use a passed in SKB to formulate the key. There are two
cases that need to be distinguished, ICMP message processing (in which
case the IP header is at skb->data) and output packet processing
(mostly tunnels, and in all such cases the IP header is at ip_hdr(skb)).
We also have to make the code able to handle the case where the dst
itself passed into the dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect} method is
invalidated. This matters for calls from sockets that have cached
that route. We provide a inet{,6} helper function for this purpose,
and edit SCTP specially since it caches routes at the transport rather
than socket level.

This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.
Even though we have a route in this context, we need more. In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying. One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.
In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information. This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here. Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

Userspace implementations of network routing protocols sometimes need to
tell RA-originated IPv6 routes from other kernel routes to make proper
routing decisions. This makes most sense for RA routes with nexthops,
namely, default routes and Route Information routes.
The intended mean of preserving RA route origin in a netlink message is
through indicating RTPROT_RA as protocol code. Function rt6_fill_node()
tried to do that for default routes, but its test condition was taken
wrong. This change is modeled after the original mailing list posting
by Jeff Haran. It fixes the test condition for default route case and
sets the same behaviour for Route Information case (both types use
nexthops). Handling of the 3rd RA route type, Prefix Information, is
left unchanged, as it stands for interface connected routes (without
nexthops).
