[NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modifications

2007-04-26T05:28:18+00:00

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 for catching a bug in the previous patch. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET] rules: Unified rules dumping

2007-04-26T05:27:17+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage

2007-03-26T01:48:00+00:00

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.

[NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible

2006-12-03T05:22:11+00:00

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.

[NET] rules: Share common attribute validation policy

2006-12-03T05:21:41+00:00

Move the attribute policy for the non-specific attributes into net/fib_rules.h and include it in the respective protocols. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowi

2006-12-03T05:21:39+00:00

Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing its usage. The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems to enable respectively disable mark based routing only obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant, and most distributions have all these options enabled by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove the config options and enable mark based routing by default. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
