2012-11-08ipv6: remove rt6i_peer_genid from rt6_info and its handlerLi RongQing
6431cbc25f(Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes) introduces these codes, but this mechanism is never enabled since rt6i_peer_genid always is zero whether it is not assigned or assigned by rt6_peer_genid(). After 5943634fc5 (ipv4: Maintain redirect and PMTU info in struct rtable again), the ipv4 related codes of this mechanism has been removed, I think we maybe able to remove them now.

2012-10-23ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath (ECMP)Nicolas Dichtel
Each nexthop is added like a single route in the routing table. All routes that have the same metric/weight and destination but not the same gateway are considering as ECMP routes. They are linked together, through a list called rt6i_siblings. ECMP routes can be added in one shot, with RTA_MULTIPATH attribute or one after the other (in both case, the flag NLM_F_EXCL should not be set).

2012-09-18ipv6: use net->rt_genid to check dst validityNicolas Dichtel
IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or deleted, all dst should be invalidated. To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy(). As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-06-15ipv6: Prevent access to uninitialized fib_table_hash via /proc/net/ipv6_routeThomas Graf
/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed. This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants down. fib6_init() as a whole can't be moved to an earlier position as it also registers the rtnetlink message handlers which should be registered at the end. Therefore split it into fib6_init() which is run early and fib6_init_late() to register the rtnetlink message handlers.

So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run. Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires. When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use. we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from. The dst.from is only used in IPV6. rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired. ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort. ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.

2011-12-30IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_routeJosh Hunt
During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses "write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling "read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause network performance issues. To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3 cases: * doing nothing * reading ipv6 route table via proc (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done) * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done) * Load the ipv6 route table up with: * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done * iperf commands: * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr> * server: iperf -V -s * iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec) * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927 * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133 * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927 lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test. Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt <joshhunt00@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-02-10inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.David S. Miller
If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example PMTU information and redirects. The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc. Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry. If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry. The facilities implemented here handle this problem. First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path information, we bump that generation ID. The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the route's generation ID too. This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached route information in order to maintain this information. At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently updated, it is not good to put frequently-used static elements, such as rt6i_idev, rt6i_dst or rt6i_flags in the same cache line.

2009-07-30xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_threshNeil Horman
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

2008-03-03[NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameterDaniel Lezcano
The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the expired timer. The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer expires. When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring time and the network namespace parameters.

2007-03-25[IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.David S. Miller
As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes reachable faster. Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked list of routes at each leaf. The round robin code executes during lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader. A small local spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all for two reasons: 1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with read lock held): walk routes finding head and tail spin_lock(); rotate list using head and tail spin_unlock(); While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed to corrupt the list when it gets the lock. This ends up causing the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting. 2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the lock in that way. So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking semantics. Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer. This way we don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer itself. We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when the entry it is pointing to is removed. The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-09-22[IPv6] route: FIB6 configuration using struct fib6_configThomas Graf
Replaces the struct in6_rtmsg based interface orignating from the ioctl interface with a struct fib6_config based on. Allows changing the interface without breaking the ioctl interface and avoids passing on tons of parameters. The recently introduced struct nl_info is used to pass on netlink authorship information for notifications. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
