ipv6: release reference of ip6_null_entry's dst entry in __ip6_del_rt

2012-10-12T20:47:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6825a26c2dc21eb4f8df9c06d3786ddec97cf53b ] as we hold dst_entry before we call __ip6_del_rt, so we should alse call dst_release not only return -ENOENT when the rt6_info is ip6_null_entry. and we already hold the dst entry, so I think it's safe to call dst_release out of the write-read lock.

ipv6: Move ipv6 proc file registration to end of init order

2012-06-19T01:38:50+00:00

/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed. This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants down. Move the registration of the proc files to a later point in the init order to avoid the race. Tested :-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Revert "ipv6: Prevent access to uninitialized fib_table_hash via /proc/net/ipv6_route"

2012-06-16T08:12:19+00:00

This reverts commit 2a0c451ade8e1783c5d453948289e4a978d417c9. It causes crashes, because now ip6_null_entry is used before it is initialized. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Prevent access to uninitialized fib_table_hash via /proc/net/ipv6_route

2012-06-15T22:30:15+00:00

/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed. This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants down. fib6_init() as a whole can't be moved to an earlier position as it also registers the rtnetlink message handlers which should be registered at the end. Therefore split it into fib6_init() which is run early and fib6_init_late() to register the rtnetlink message handlers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Reviewed-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ipv6: Standardize prefixes for message logging

2012-05-16T05:01:03+00:00

Add #define pr_fmt(fmt) as appropriate. Add "IPv6: " to appropriate files. Convert printk(KERN_ to pr_ (but not KERN_DEBUG). Standardize on "%s: " not "%s(): " when emitting __func__. Use "%s: ", __func__ instead of embedding function name. Coalesce formats, align arguments. ADDRCONF output is now prefixed with "IPv6: " Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache

2012-04-13T16:58:29+00:00

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.
