Merge tag 'rxrpc-rewrite-20160615' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Rework endpoint record handling Here's the next part of the AF_RXRPC rewrite. In this set I rework endpoint record handling. There are two types of endpoint record, local and peer. The local endpoint record is used as an anchor for the transport socket that AF_RXRPC uses (at the moment a UDP socket). Local endpoints can be shared between AF_RXRPC sockets under certain restricted circumstances. The peer endpoint is a record of the remote end. It is (or will be) used to keep track MTU and RTT values and, with these changes, is used to find the call(s) to abort when a network error occurs. The following significant changes are made: (1) The local endpoint event handling code is split out into its own file. (2) The local endpoint list bottom half-excluding spinlock is removed as things are arranged such that sk_user_data will not change whilst the transport socket callbacks are in progress. (3) Local endpoints can now only be shared if they have the same transport address (as before) and have a local service ID of 0 (ie. they're not listening for incoming calls). This prevents callbacks from a server to one process being picked up by another process. (4) Local endpoint destruction is now accomplished by the same work item as processes events, meaning that the destructor doesn't need to wait for the event processor. (5) Peer endpoints are now held in a hash table rather than a flat list. (6) Peer endpoints are now destroyed by RCU rather than by work item. (7) Peer endpoints are now differentiated by local endpoint and remote transport port in addition to remote transport address and transport type and family. This means that a firewall that excludes access between a particular local port and remote port won't cause calls to be aborted that use a different port pair. (8) Error report handling now no longer assumes that the source is always an IPv4 ICMP message from a UDP port and has assumptions that an ICMP message comes from an IPv4 socket removed. At some point IPv6 support will be added. (9) Peer endpoints rather than local endpoints are now the anchor point for distributing network error reports. (10) Both types of endpoint records are now disposed of as soon as all references to them are gone. There is less hanging around and once their usage counts hit zero, records can no longer be resurrected. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The algorithm for checksum neutral mapping is incorrect. This problem was being hidden since we were previously always performing checksum offload on the translated addresses and only with IPv6 HW csum. Enabling an ILA router shows the issue. Corrected algorithm: old_loc is the original locator in the packet, new_loc is the value to overwrite with and is found in the lookup table. old_flag is the old flag value (zero of CSUM_NEUTRAL_FLAG) and new_flag is then (old_flag ^ CSUM_NEUTRAL_FLAG) & CSUM_NEUTRAL_FLAG. Need SUM(new_id + new_flag + diff) == SUM(old_id + old_flag) for checksum neutral translation. Solving for diff gives: diff = (old_id - new_id) + (old_flag - new_flag) compute_csum_diff8(new_id, old_id) gives old_id - new_id If old_flag is set old_flag - new_flag = old_flag = CSUM_NEUTRAL_FLAG Else old_flag - new_flag = -new_flag = ~CSUM_NEUTRAL_FLAG Tested: - Implemented a user space program that creates random addresses and random locators to overwrite. Compares the checksum over the address before and after translation (must always be equal) - Enabled ILA router and showed proper operation.

In the presence of firewalls which improperly block ICMP Unreachable (including Fragmentation Required) messages, Path MTU Discovery is prevented from working. A workaround is to handle IPv4 payloads opaquely, ignoring the DF bit--as is done for other payloads like AppleTalk--and doing transparent fragmentation and reassembly. Redux includes the enforcement of mutual exclusion between this feature and Path MTU Discovery as suggested by Alexander Duyck.

Alexander Aring says: ==================== 6lowpan: introduce 6lowpan-nd David can you please pick-up this patch-serie for your net-next tree? Thanks in advance. This patch series introduces the ndisc ops callback structure to add different handling for IPv6 neighbour discovery cache functionality. It implements at first the two following use-cases: - 6CO handling as userspace option (For all 6LoWPAN layers, BTLE/802.15.4) [0] - short address handling for 802.15.4 6LoWPAN only [1] Since my last patch series, I completely changed the whole ndisc_ops callback structure to not replace the whole ndisc functionality at recv/send level of NS/NA/RS/RA which I send in my previous patch-series "6lowpan: introduce basic 6lowpan-nd". I changed it now to add different handling in a very low-level way of ndisc functionality. The ndisc_ops don't must be registered to dev->ndisc_ops anymore, if they are not set, then no additional ipv6 ndisc handling will be done. This patch series now introduce a complete handling of short address for 802.15.4 6LoWPAN in case of send/recv of NA/NS/RS and RA. In case of RA (receive only) and PIO we also need a second prefix + short-address based address. This callback structure can be used later (I hope) for RFC 6775 [0]. This RFC defines some new option fields and messages for 6LoWPAN-ND. This patch series does not implement RFC 6775 (except we decide now to handle 6CO in userspace). Additional we can use the current ops for parse/fill ndisc options for kernel handled ndisc messages to add 6CIO, see [2]. I tested RA/NS/NA/RS messages with short address which seems to work, what I didn't test is the redirect messages since I don't know how to generate them. The short address for redirect messages are also some special case here, because the short address by a L3 target address lookuped by neighbour cache need to be added. btw: According to [3] sending redirect messages should be also disabled by default on 6lowpan interfaces, but can be activated afterwards. This is maybe something for the ipv6_devconf structure. There is a "accept_redirects" but no "disable_redirects". - Alex [0] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6775 [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4944#section-8 [2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7400 changes since v3: - add acked-by and reviewed-by tags - fix url references in cover-letter - add cover-letter that this patch series is okay to go through net-next tree changes since RFC: - add lowlevel functions __ndisc_opt_addr_space, __ndisc_opt_addr_data and __ndisc_fill_addr_option for corresponding functions which doesn't requires net_device argument. - move ndisc_ops e.g. ndisc_ops_fill_addr_option function call into the corresponding device argument function ndisc_fill_addr_option. (Introduced a special static inline function for redirect handling). - fix error handling in addrconf_prefix_rcv_add_addr. (Please see, introduce new API handling that second address registration (in case of 802.15.4 6LoWPAN) will still be notified if failed, because dev->addr was successful. - add ieee802154 sub-directory in short address entry for 6lowpan UAPI. - add lowpan_802154_is_valid_src_short_addr, because 802.15.4 6lowpan defines the first bit as multicast (don't know how this can be working at the end, because some hardware addresses will handle such addresses in L2 as unicast. See: https://www.iana.org/assignments/_6lowpan-parameters/_6lowpan-parameters.xhtml#_6lowpan-parameters-2 changes since v2: - Introduce ndisc_ops to have our own implementation for dealing with NS/NA which allows also to support RFC6775 (e.g. ARO). - add handling for handling 6CO as userspace option for RA messages in case of 6LoWPAN interfaces. - change lowpan_is_ll to check on linklayer type only. - added some reviewed-by's. - move short addr slaac to net/6lowpan instead ipv6 handling. - add handling for context based address compression in case for short address as link-layer address. - change strategy to use short address, a short address will always be used when it's available. - Handle override flag in NA messages to update short address information or not. ==================== Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
