12 years agoipv4: Handle PMTU in all ICMP error handlers.
David S. Miller [Fri, 15 Jun 2012 05:21:46 +0000 (22:21 -0700)]
ipv4: Handle PMTU in all ICMP error handlers.

With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU
information in every ICMP error handler.

Create two helper functions to facilitate this.

1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu()

   This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to
   work with.

2) ipv4_update_pmtu()

   Raw version, used when no socket context is available.  For this
   interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for
   the flow identity information we would have extracted from the
   socket.

   And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented
   in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu()

Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like
ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key().  This is because we
absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC
encapsulation and the like.  Instead, we only want the route that
would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header.

bonding: Fix corrupted queue_mapping

In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to
stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its
own queue mapping.  This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is
also used in __dev_xmit_skb.

When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is
called from dev_queue_xmit.  In bond_select_queue the original
skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping)
and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue.

Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes
the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed
queue mappping.  In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit),
the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now
the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device.

If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to
add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with
other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...)

This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8
bytes :

netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without
misalignment penalty.

Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[].
The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it.

ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8

Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider

not process corresponding ARP requests.

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.

The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.

This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.

Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

Example:
  $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1

  $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0
