This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6 - into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6 + into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect to IPv6 networks over an IPv4-only path. Saying M here will produce a module called sit.ko. If unsure, say Y. diff --git a/net/ipv6/raw.c b/net/ipv6/raw.c index 6193b124cbc7..396f0ea11090 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/raw.c +++ b/net/ipv6/raw.c @@ -971,6 +971,19 @@ static int do_rawv6_setsockopt(struct sock *sk, int level, int optname, switch (optname) { case IPV6_CHECKSUM: + if (inet_sk(sk)->num == IPPROTO_ICMPV6 && + level == IPPROTO_IPV6) { + /* + * RFC3542 tells that IPV6_CHECKSUM socket + * option in the IPPROTO_IPV6 level is not + * allowed on ICMPv6 sockets. + * If you want to set it, use IPPROTO_RAW + * level IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option + * (Linux extension). + */ + return -EINVAL; + } + /* You may get strange result with a positive odd offset; RFC2292bis agrees with me. */ if (val > 0 && (val&1)) @@ -1046,6 +1059,11 @@ static int do_rawv6_getsockopt(struct sock *sk, int level, int optname, switch (optname) { case IPV6_CHECKSUM: + /* + * We allow getsockopt() for IPPROTO_IPV6-level + * IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option on ICMPv6 sockets + * since RFC3542 is silent about it. + */ if (rp->checksum == 0) val = -1; else |
