2013-12-11ipv4: fix wildcard search with inet_confirm_addr()Nicolas Dichtel
Help of this function says: "in_dev: only on this interface, 0=any interface", but since commit 39a6d0630012 ("[NETNS]: Process inet_confirm_addr in the correct namespace."), the code supposes that it will never be NULL. This function is never called with in_dev == NULL, but it's exported and may be used by an external module. Because this patch restore the ability to call inet_confirm_addr() with in_dev == NULL, I partially revert the above commit, as suggested by Julian.

2013-12-09neigh: restore old behaviour of default parms valuesJiri Pirko
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added. Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

IP sends device configuration (see inet_fill_link_af) as an array in the netlink information, but the indices in that array are not exposed to userspace through any current santized header file.

2013-01-29ipv4: introduce address lifetimeJiri Pirko
There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful. For example: 1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network configuration parameters 2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration 3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop 4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient 5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131. This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism for ipv4 addresses. Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective. Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users. Reported-by: Pavel Šimerda <psimerda@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-06-12ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8Thomas Graf
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider packets from that address block martian when routing and do 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 route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0 $ ip route flush cache V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-03-16arp: allow arp processing to honor per interface arp_accept sysctlNeil Horman
I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process flag. This seems wrong, as it implies that either none or all of the network interfaces accept gratuitous arps. This patch corrects that, allowing per-interface arp_accept configuration to deviate from the all setting. Note this also brings us into line with the way the arp_filter setting is handled during arp_process execution. Tested this myself on my home network, and confirmed it works as expected.

2010-01-07net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp supportJesper Dangaard Brouer
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069, that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router. As described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing. This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received). Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan": /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan This switch technology is known by different vendor names: - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation. - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN. - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation. - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

2009-12-25net: restore ip source validationJamal Hadi Salim
when using policy routing and the skb mark: there are cases where a back path validation requires us to use a different routing table for src ip validation than the one used for mapping ingress dst ip. One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be the destination system and therefore the local table is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would be used on outbound.

This creates a problem since we have moved the point where inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the device is registered. This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old behaviour while still calling inetdev_init.
