Merge branch 'ipv6-udp-set-dst-cache-for-a-connected-sk-if-current-not-valid'
Alexey Kodanev says: ==================== ipv6: udp: set dst cache for a connected sk if current not valid A new RTF_CACHE route can be created with the socket's dst cache update between the below calls in udpv6_sendmsg(), when datagram sending results to ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG error: dst = ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow(...) ... release_dst: if (dst) { if (connected) { ip6_dst_store(sk, dst) Therefore, the new socket's dst cache reset to the old one on "release_dst:". The first three patches prepare the code to store dst cache with ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow(): * the first patch adds ip6_sk_dst_store_flow() function with commonly used source and destiantion addresses checks using the flow information. * the second patch adds a new argument to ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() and ability to store dst in the socket's cache. Also, the two users of the function are updated without enabling the new behavior: pingv6_sendmsg() and udpv6_sendmsg(). * the third patch makes 'connected' variable in udpv6_sendmsg() to be consistent with ip6_sk_dst_store_flow(), changes its type from int to bool. The last patch contains the actual fix that removes sk dst cache update in the end of udpv6_sendmsg(), and allows to do it in ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow(). v6: * use bool type for a new parameter in ip_sk_dst_lookup_flow() * add one more patch to convert 'connected' variable in udpv6_sendmsg() from int to bool type. If it shouldn't be here I will resend it when the net-next is opened. v5: * relocate ip6_sk_dst_store_flow() to net/ipv6/route.c and rename ip6_dst_store_flow() to ip6_sk_dst_store_flow() as suggested by Martin v4: * fix the error in the build of ip_dst_store_flow() reported by kbuild test robot due to missing checks for CONFIG_IPV6: add new function to ip6_output.c instead of ip6_route.h * add 'const' to struct flowi6 in ip6_dst_store_flow() * minor commit messages fixes v3: * instead of moving ip6_dst_store() above udp_v6_send_skb(), update socket's dst cache inside ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() if the current one is invalid * the issue not reproduced in 4.1, but starting from 4.2. Add one more 'Fixes:' commit that creates new RTF_CACHE route. Though, it is also mentioned in the first one ==================== Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
