* net: ipv6 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is downAndy Gospodarek2015-08-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like the ipv4 patch with a similar title, this adds a sysctl to allow the user to change routing behavior based on whether or not the interface associated with the nexthop was an up or down link. The default setting preserves the current behavior, but anyone that enables it will notice that nexthops on down interfaces will no longer be selected: net.ipv6.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv6.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv6.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, not only will link status be reported to userspace, but an indication that a nexthop is dead and will not be used is also reported. 1000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1 metric 1024 dead linkdown pref medium 1000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1 metric 1024 pref medium 7000::/8 dev p7p1 proto kernel metric 256 dead linkdown pref medium 8000::/8 dev p8p1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 9000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1 metric 2048 pref medium 9000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1 metric 1024 dead linkdown pref medium fe80::/64 dev p7p1 proto kernel metric 256 dead linkdown pref medium fe80::/64 dev p8p1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium This also adds devconf support and notification when sysctl values change. v2: drop use of rt6i_nhflags since it is not needed right now Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek <gospo@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Dinesh Dutt <ddutt@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limitHangbin Liu2015-07-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface") disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition. RFC 4861, 6.3.4. Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards.

* ipv6: sysctl to restrict candidate source addressesErik Kline2015-07-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Per RFC 6724, section 4, "Candidate Source Addresses": It is RECOMMENDED that the candidate source addresses be the set of unicast addresses assigned to the interface that will be used to send to the destination (the "outgoing" interface). Add a sysctl to enable this behaviour. Signed-off-by: Erik Kline <ek@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* ipv6: introduce secret_stable to ipv6_devconfHannes Frederic Sowa2015-03-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the procfs logic for the stable_address knob: The secret is formatted as an ipv6 address and will be stored per interface and per namespace. We track initialized flag and return EIO errors until the secret is set. We don't inherit the secret to newly created namespaces.

* net: ipv6: Add sysctl entry to disable MTU updates from RAHarout Hedeshian2015-01-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel forcefully applies MTU values received in router advertisements provided the new MTU is less than the current. This behavior is undesirable when the user space is managing the MTU. Instead a sysctl flag 'accept_ra_mtu' is introduced such that the user space can control whether or not RA provided MTU updates should be applied. The default behavior is unchanged; user space must explicitly set this flag to 0 for RA MTUs to be ignored. Signed-off-by: Harout Hedeshian <harouth@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ipv6: directly include libc-compat.h in ipv6.hWillem de Bruijn2015-01-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch 3b50d9029809 ("ipv6: fix redefinition of in6_pktinfo ...") fixed a libc compatibility issue in ipv6 structure definitions as described in include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h. It relies on including linux/in6.h to include libc-compat.h itself. Include that file directly to clearly communicate the dependency (libc-compat.h: "This include must be as early as possible").

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both netinet/in.h and linux/ipv6.h define these two structs, if we include both of them, we got: /usr/include/linux/ipv6.h:19:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct in6_pktinfo’ struct in6_pktinfo { ^ In file included from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:22:0, from txtimestamp.c:33: /usr/include/netinet/in.h:524:8: note: originally defined here struct in6_pktinfo ^ In file included from txtimestamp.c:40:0: /usr/include/linux/ipv6.h:24:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct ip6_mtuinfo’ struct ip6_mtuinfo { ^ In file included from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:22:0, from txtimestamp.c:33: /usr/include/netinet/in.h:531:8: note: originally defined here struct ip6_mtuinfo ^ So similarly to what we did for in6_addr, we need to sync with libc header on their definitions.

* net: ipv6: Add a sysctl to make optimistic addresses useful candidatesErik Kline2014-10-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a sysctl that causes an interface's optimistic addresses to be considered equivalent to other non-deprecated addresses for source address selection purposes. Preferred addresses will still take precedence over optimistic addresses, subject to other ranking in the source address selection algorithm. This is useful where different interfaces are connected to different networks from different ISPs (e.g., a cell network and a home wifi network). The current behaviour complies with RFC 3484/6724, and it makes sense if the host has only one interface, or has multiple interfaces on the same network (same or cooperating administrative domain(s), but not in the multiple distinct networks case. For example, if a mobile device has an IPv6 address on an LTE network and then connects to IPv6-enabled wifi, while the wifi IPv6 address is undergoing DAD, IPv6 connections will try use the wifi default route with the LTE IPv6 address, and will get stuck until they time out. Also, because optimistic nodes can receive frames, issue an RTM_NEWADDR as soon as DAD starts (with the IFA_F_OPTIMSTIC flag appropriately set). A second RTM_NEWADDR is sent if DAD completes (the address flags have changed), otherwise an RTM_DELADDR is sent. Also: add an entry in ip-sysctl.txt for optimistic_dad.

* ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.Ben Greear2014-07-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can be used in virtual networking applications, and may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by default. A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables, veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces, and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses, it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems, with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
