Eric Dumazet b82d1bb4fd tcp: unalias tcp_skb_cb flags and ip_dsfield
struct tcp_skb_cb contains a "flags" field containing either tcp flags
or IP dsfield depending on context (input or output path)

Introduce ip_dsfield to make the difference clear and ease maintenance.
If later we want to save space, we can union flags/ip_dsfield

Roy Li 8603e33d01 ipv6: fix a possible double free
When calling snmp6_alloc_dev fails, the snmp6 relevant memory
are freed by snmp6_alloc_dev. Calling in6_dev_finish_destroy
will free these memory twice.

Double free will lead that undefined behavior occurs.

Eric Dumazet d24f22f3df ip6_tunnel: add optional fwmark inherit
Add IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_FWMARK to ip6_tunnel, so that ip6_tnl_xmit2()
makes a route lookup taking into account skb->fwmark and doesnt cache
lookup result.

This permits more flexibility in policies and firewall setups.

To setup such a tunnel, "fwmark inherit" option should be added to "ip
-f inet6 tunnel" command.

Yan, Zheng 8e2ec63917 ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.
Current IPv6 implementation uses inetpeer to store metrics for
routes. The problem of inetpeer is that it doesn't take subnet
prefix length in to consideration. If two routes have the same
address but different prefix length, they share same inetpeer.
So changing metrics of one route also affects the other. The
fix is to allocate separate metrics storage for each route.

Tore Anderson 026359bc6e ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted
This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is
accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is
not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the
"accept_ra" sysctl is used.

The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode
("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard
Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was
that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl
documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore
been removed.

Rationale for the change:

Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining
whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent,
otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the
following cases:

* accept_ra=0, forwarding=0
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=1, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=2, forwarding=1

In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will
not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send
any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most
routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in
the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.)

Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS
sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being
accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect
to be the case.

Florian Westphal c6675233f9 netfilter: nf_queue: reject NF_STOLEN verdicts from userspace
A userspace listener may send (bogus) NF_STOLEN verdict, which causes skb leak.

This problem was previously fixed via
64507fdbc2 (netfilter:
nf_queue: fix NF_STOLEN skb leak) but this had to be reverted because
NF_STOLEN can also be returned by a netfilter hook when iterating the
rules in nf_reinject.

Reject userspace NF_STOLEN verdict, as suggested by Michal Miroslaw.

This is complementary to commit fad5444043

David S. Miller 6e5714eaf7 net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

Eric Dumazet f2c31e32b3 net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

Update the code to handle some of the differences between
RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple
of janitorial fixes.

- Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of
  temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041,
  but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA
  lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME:
  in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate
  addresses prematurely.

- Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941.

- Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid
  lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp.

- Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.

Jesper Juhl 91c66c6893 netfilter: ip_queue: Fix small leak in ipq_build_packet_message()
ipq_build_packet_message() in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_queue.c and
net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_queue.c contain a small potential mem leak as
far as I can tell.

We allocate memory for 'skb' with alloc_skb() annd then call
 nlh = NLMSG_PUT(skb, 0, 0, IPQM_PACKET, size - sizeof(*nlh));

NLMSG_PUT is a macro
 NLMSG_PUT(skb, pid, seq, type, len) \
  		NLMSG_NEW(skb, pid, seq, type, len, 0)

that expands to NLMSG_NEW, which is also a macro which expands to:
 NLMSG_NEW(skb, pid, seq, type, len, flags) \
  	({	if (unlikely(skb_tailroom(skb) < (int)NLMSG_SPACE(len))) \
  			goto nlmsg_failure; \
  		__nlmsg_put(skb, pid, seq, type, len, flags); })

If we take the true branch of the 'if' statement and 'goto
nlmsg_failure', then we'll, at that point, return from
ipq_build_packet_message() without having assigned 'skb' to anything
and we'll leak the memory we allocated for it when it goes out of
scope.

Fix this by placing a 'kfree(skb)' at 'nlmsg_failure'.

I admit that I do not know how likely this to actually happen or even
if there's something that guarantees that it will never happen - I'm
not that familiar with this code, but if that is so, I've not been
able to spot it.

David S. Miller f6b72b6217 net: Embed hh_cache inside of struct neighbour.
Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour
and hh_cache entries, we no longer need:

1) dynamic allocation
2) attachment to dst->hh
3) refcounting

Initialization of the hh_cache entry is indicated by hh_len
being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with
the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

Bjørn Mork 2bda8a0c8a Disable router anycast address for /127 prefixes
RFC 6164 requires that routers MUST disable Subnet-Router anycast
for the prefix when /127 prefixes are used.

No need for matching code in addrconf_leave_anycast() as it
will silently ignore any attempt to leave an unknown anycast
address.

Marcus Meissner c349a528cd net: bind() fix error return on wrong address family
Hi,

Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according
to POSIX.

The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use
EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN.

Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far
as a brief look shows:
	EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc
	EINVAL: ax25, bluetooth, decnet, econet, ieee802154, iucv, netlink, netrom, packet, rds, rose, unix, x25,
	No check?: can/raw, ipv6/raw, irda, l2tp/l2tp_ip

Ciao, Marcus

David S. Miller 957c665f37 ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache.

Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response
to route lookup requests, all live in the same table.  And
all of these things are together collected in the destination
cache table for ipv6.

This means that routing table entries count against the garbage
collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed
and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being
created in response to lookups).

Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries
against the GC limits.

Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting
if it is set.  Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table
entries.
