2007-11-10[INET]: Small possible memory leak in FIB rulesDenis V. Lunev
This patch fixes a small memory leak. Default fib rules can be deleted by the user if the rule does not carry FIB_RULE_PERMANENT flag, f.e. by ip rule flush Such a rule will not be freed as the ref-counter has 2 on start and becomes clearly unreachable after removal.

2007-10-10[IPV4/IPV6/DECNET]: Small cleanup for fib rules.Denis V. Lunev
This patch slightly cleanups FIB rules framework. rules_list as a pointer on struct fib_rules_ops is useless. It is always assigned with a static per/subsystem list in IPv4, IPv6 and DecNet.

2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modificationsThomas Graf
The results of FIB rules lookups are cached in the routing cache except for IPv6 as no such cache exists. So far, it was the responsibility of the user to flush the cache after modifying any rules. This lead to many false bug reports due to misunderstanding of this concept. This patch automatically flushes the route cache after inserting or deleting a rule. Thanks to Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> for catching a bug in the previous patch. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[NET] fib_rules: goto rule actionThomas Graf
This patch adds a new rule action FR_ACT_GOTO which allows to skip a set of rules by jumping to another rule. The rule to jump to is specified via the FRA_GOTO attribute which carries a rule preference. Referring to a rule which doesn't exists is explicitely allowed. Such goto rules are marked with the flag FIB_RULE_UNRESOLVED and will act like a rule with a non-matching selector. The rule will become functional as soon as its target is present. The goto action enables performance optimizations by reducing the average number of rules that have to be passed per lookup. Example: 0: from all lookup local 40: not from all to 192.168.23.128 goto 32766 41: from all fwmark 0xa blackhole 42: from all fwmark 0xff blackhole 32766: from all lookup main Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-25[NET] rules: Unified rules dumpingThomas Graf
Implements a unified, protocol independant rules dumping function which is capable of both, dumping a specific protocol family or all of them. This speeds up dumping as less lookups are required. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-03-25[NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakageThomas Graf
Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy. The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all" or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute, but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a validation error. Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the length of an address. Report an error if address length is non zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on availability of attribute.

2006-12-02[NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possibleThomas Graf
Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new() instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly. Replaces error handling of message construction functions when constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

2006-09-22[NET]: Introduce RTA_TABLE/FRA_TABLE attributesPatrick McHardy
Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them need to use RTA_TABLE. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
