Rules can be installed that direct route lookups to specific tables based
on oif. Plumb the oif through the xfrm lookups so it gets set in the flow
struct and passed to the resolver routines.

<id>urn:sha1:7026b1ddb6b8d4e6ee33dc2bd06c0ca8746fa7ab</id>
<content type='text'>
On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb-&gt;sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb-&gt;sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

In many places, the a6 field is typecasted to struct in6_addr. As the
fields are in union anyway, just add in6_addr type to the union and
get rid of the typecasting.

Modifying the uapi header is okay, the union has still the same size.

<content type='text'>
Having to say
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
&gt; 	struct net *net;
&gt; #endif

in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.

Instead it is possible to say:
&gt; typedef struct {
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
&gt;       struct net *net;
&gt; #endif
&gt; } possible_net_t;

And then in a header say:

&gt; 	possible_net_t net;

Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.

Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.

This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

<title>xfrm: configure policy hash table thresholds by netlink</title>

<id>urn:sha1:880a6fab8f6ba5b5abe59ea68533202ddea1012c</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable to specify local and remote prefix length thresholds for the
policy hash table via a netlink XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message.

prefix length thresholds are specified by XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH optional attributes (struct xfrmu_spdhthresh).

example:

    struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh4 = {
        .lbits = 0;
        .rbits = 24;
    };
    struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh6 = {
        .lbits = 0;
        .rbits = 56;
    };
    struct nlmsghdr *hdr;
    struct nl_msg *msg;

    msg = nlmsg_alloc();
    hdr = nlmsg_put(msg, NL_AUTO_PORT, NL_AUTO_SEQ, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(__u32), NLM_F_REQUEST);
    nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh4), &amp;thresh4);
    nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh6), &amp;thresh6);
    nla_send_auto(sk, msg);

The numbers are the policy selector minimum prefix lengths to put a
policy in the hash table.

- lbits is the local threshold (source address for out policies,
  destination address for in and fwd policies).

- rbits is the remote threshold (destination address for out
  policies, source address for in and fwd policies).

The default values are:

XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH: 32 32
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH: 128 128

Dynamic re-building of the SPD is performed when the thresholds values
are changed.

The current thresholds can be read via a XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO request:
the kernel replies to XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO requests by an
XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message, with both attributes
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH.

Commit f1370cc4 "xfrm: Remove useless secid field from xfrm_audit." changed
"struct xfrm_audit" to have either
{ audit_get_loginuid(current) / audit_get_sessionid(current) } or
{ INVALID_UID / -1 } pair.

This means that we can represent "struct xfrm_audit" as "bool".
This patch replaces "struct xfrm_audit" argument with "bool".

<id>urn:sha1:f1370cc4a01e61007ab3020c761cef6b88ae3729</id>

It seems to me that commit ab5f5e8b "[XFRM]: xfrm audit calls" is doing
something strange at xfrm_audit_helper_usrinfo().
If secid != 0 &amp;&amp; security_secid_to_secctx(secid) != 0, the caller calls
audit_log_task_context() which basically does
secid != 0 &amp;&amp; security_secid_to_secctx(secid) == 0 case
except that secid is obtained from current thread's context.

Oh, what happens if secid passed to xfrm_audit_helper_usrinfo() was
obtained from other thread's context? It might audit current thread's
context rather than other thread's context if security_secid_to_secctx()
in xfrm_audit_helper_usrinfo() failed for some reason.

Then, are all the caller of xfrm_audit_helper_usrinfo() passing either
secid obtained from current thread's context or secid == 0?
It seems to me that they are.

If I didn't miss something, we don't need to pass secid to
xfrm_audit_helper_usrinfo() because audit_log_task_context() will
obtain secid from current thread's context.

<title>ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst-&gt;output() path.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:aad88724c9d54acb1a9737cb6069d8470fa85f74</id>
<content type='text'>
In the dst-&gt;output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.

The dst-&gt;output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

Fixes: 8f646c922d55 ("vxlan: keep original skb ownership")
