2019-12-24net: add bool confirm_neigh parameter for dst_ops.update_pmtuHangbin Liu
The MTU update code is supposed to be invoked in response to real networking events that update the PMTU. In IPv6 PMTU update function __ip6_rt_update_pmtu() we called dst_confirm_neigh() to update neighbor confirmed time. But for tunnel code, it will call pmtu before xmit, like: - tnl_update_pmtu() - skb_dst_update_pmtu() - ip6_rt_update_pmtu() - __ip6_rt_update_pmtu() - dst_confirm_neigh() If the tunnel remote dst mac address changed and we still do the neigh confirm, we will not be able to update neigh cache and ping6 remote will failed. So for this ip_tunnel_xmit() case, _EVEN_ if the MTU is changed, we should not be invoking dst_confirm_neigh() as we have no evidence of successful two-way communication at this point. On the other hand it is also important to keep the neigh reachability fresh for TCP flows, so we cannot remove this dst_confirm_neigh() call. To fix the issue, we have to add a new bool parameter for dst_ops.update_pmtu to choose whether we should do neigh update or not. I will add the parameter in this patch and set all the callers to true to comply with the previous way, and fix the tunnel code one by one on later patches. v5: No change. v4: No change. v3: Do not remove dst_confirm_neigh, but add a new bool parameter in dst_ops.update_pmtu to control whether we should do neighbor confirm. Also split the big patch to small ones for each area. v2: Remove dst_confirm_neigh in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu.

2017-11-30xfrm: Move dst->path into struct xfrm_dstDavid Miller
The first member of an IPSEC route bundle chain sets it's dst->path to the underlying ipv4/ipv6 route that carries the bundle. Stated another way, if one were to follow the xfrm_dst->child chain of the bundle, the final non-NULL pointer would be the path and point to either an ipv4 or an ipv6 route. This is largely used to make sure that PMTU events propagate down to the correct ipv4 or ipv6 route. When we don't have the top of an IPSEC bundle 'dst->path == dst'. Move it down into xfrm_dst and key off of dst->xfrm. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
2015-03-09net: Remove protocol from struct dst_opsEric W. Biederman
After my change to neigh_hh_init to obtain the protocol from the neigh_table there are no more users of protocol in struct dst_ops. Remove the protocol field from dst_ops and all of it's initializers. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-09-26netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the corePablo Neira Ayuso
Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that don't need this. This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus, the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that. Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe bridge' or via automatic load through brctl. However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter. The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that didn't notice that this has been deprecated. On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users seem to require. This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.
