Thomas Graf d189634eca ipv6: Move ipv6 proc file registration to end of init order
/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 :-)

This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants

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.

Gao feng 1716a96101 ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache
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.

Shmulik Ladkani 72331bc0cd ipv6: Fix RTM_GETROUTE's interpretation of RTA_IIF to be consistent with ipv4
In IPv4, if an RTA_IIF attribute is specified within an RTM_GETROUTE
message, then a route is searched as if a packet was received on the
specified 'iif' interface.

However in IPv6, RTA_IIF is not interpreted in the same way:
'inet6_rtm_getroute()' always calls 'ip6_route_output()', regardless the
RTA_IIF attribute.

As a result, in IPv6 there's no way to use RTM_GETROUTE in order to look
for a route as if a packet was received on a specific interface.

Fix 'inet6_rtm_getroute()' so that RTA_IIF is interpreted as "lookup a
route as if a packet was received on the specified interface", similar
to IPv4's 'inet_rtm_getroute()' interpretation.

David S. Miller 39232973b7 ipv4/ipv6: Prepare for new route gateway semantics.
In the future the ipv4/ipv6 route gateway will take on two types
of values:

1) INADDR_ANY/IN6ADDR_ANY, for local network routes, and in this case
   the neighbour must be obtained using the destination address in
   ipv4/ipv6 header as the lookup key.

2) Everything else, the actual nexthop route address.

So if the gateway is not inaddr-any we use it, otherwise we must use
the packet's destination address.

Josh Hunt 32b293a53d IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_route
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route
operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses
"write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I
found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea
exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling
"read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize
reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route
table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause
network performance issues.

To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3
cases:
  * doing nothing
  * reading ipv6 route table via proc
    (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done)
  * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink
    (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done)

* Load the ipv6 route table up with:
  * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done

* iperf commands:
  * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr>
  * server: iperf -V -s

* iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec)
  * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927
  * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133
  * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927

lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this
info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces
write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With
this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test.

After commit 8e2ec63917 ("ipv6: don't

'rt' will always now have a plen of 128, because it is set explicitly

David S. Miller b43faac690 ipv6: If neigh lookup fails during icmp6 dst allocation, propagate error.
Don't just succeed with a route that has a NULL neighbour attached.
This follows the behavior of addrconf_dst_alloc().

Allowing this kind of route to end up with a NULL neigh attached will
result in packet drops on output until the route is somehow
invalidated, since nothing will meanwhile try to lookup the neigh
again.

A statistic is bumped for the case where we see a neigh-less route on
output, but the resulting packet drop is otherwise silent in nature,
and frankly it's a hard error for this to happen and ipv6 should do
what ipv4 does which is say something in the kernel logs.

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.

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.

Eric Dumazet 21efcfa0ff ipv6: unshare inetpeers
We currently cow metrics a bit too soon in IPv6 case : All routes are
tied to a single inetpeer entry.

Change ip6_rt_copy() to get destination address as second argument, so
that we fill rt6i_dst before the dst_copy_metrics() call.

icmp6_dst_alloc() must set rt6i_dst before calling dst_metric_set(), or
else the cow is done while rt6i_dst is still NULL.

If orig route points to readonly metrics, we can share the pointer
instead of performing the memory allocation and copy.

David S. Miller d3aaeb38c4 net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_ops
In the future dst entries will be neigh-less.  In that environment we
need to have an easy transition point for current users of
dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path.

David S. Miller 9cbb7ecbcf ipv6: Get rid of rt6i_nexthop macro.
It just makes it harder to see 1) what the code is doing
and 2) grep for all users of dst{->,.}neighbour
