2022-04-06ipv6: fix locking issues with loops over idev->addr_listNiels Dossche
idev->addr_list needs to be protected by idev->lock. However, it is not always possible to do so while iterating and performing actions on inet6_ifaddr instances. For example, multiple functions (like addrconf_{join,leave}_anycast) eventually call down to other functions that acquire the idev->lock. The current code temporarily unlocked the idev->lock during the loops, which can cause race conditions. Moving the locks up is also not an appropriate solution as the ordering of lock acquisition will be inconsistent with for example mc_lock. This solution adds an additional field to inet6_ifaddr that is used to temporarily add the instances to a temporary list while holding idev->lock. The temporary list can then be traversed without holding idev->lock. This change was done in two places. In addrconf_ifdown, the list_for_each_entry_safe variant of the list loop is also no longer necessary as there is no deletion within that specific loop.

2022-02-18net: Add new protocol attribute to IP addressesJacques de Laval
This patch adds a new protocol attribute to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Inspiration was taken from the protocol attribute of routes. User space applications like iproute2 can set/get the protocol with the Netlink API. The attribute is stored as an 8-bit unsigned integer. The protocol attribute is set by kernel for these categories: - IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses - IPv6 addresses generated from router announcements - IPv6 link local addresses User space may pass custom protocols, not defined by the kernel. Grouping addresses on their origin is useful in scenarios where you want to distinguish between addresses based on who added them, e.g. kernel vs. user space. Tagging addresses with a string label is an existing feature that could be used as a solution. Unfortunately the max length of a label is 15 characters, and for compatibility reasons the label must be prefixed with the name of the device followed by a colon. Since device names also have a max length of 15 characters, only -1 characters is guaranteed to be available for any origin tag, which is not that much. A reference implementation of user space setting and getting protocols is available for iproute2: https://github.com/westermo/iproute2/commit/9a6ea18bd79f47f293e5edc7780f315ea42ff540 Signed-off-by: Jacques de Laval <Jacques.De.Laval@westermo.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220217150202.80802-1-Jacques.De.Laval@westermo.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2021-08-27ipv6: add IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to expose mtu valueRocco Yue
The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu" file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations: (1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net/<iface>/mtu) is updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) will be updated to the value of interface mtu; (2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) only affect ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4. Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message, there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain RA mtu value correctly by reading mtu6. After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option, you can send a netlink msg which nlmsg_type is RTM_GETLINK, and then by parsing the attribute of IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to get the mtu value carried in the RA message received on the inet6 device. In addition, you can also get a link notification when ra_mtu is updated so it doesn't have to poll. In this way, if the MTU values that the device receives from the network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are different, the user can obtain the correct ipv6 ra_mtu value and compare the value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device can use the lower MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.

2021-03-26mld: add mc_lock for protecting per-interface mld dataTaehee Yoo
The purpose of this lock is to avoid a bottleneck in the query/report event handler logic. By previous patches, almost all mld data is protected by RTNL. So, the query and report event handler, which is data path logic acquires RTNL too. Therefore if a lot of query and report events are received, it uses RTNL for a long time. So it makes the control-plane bottleneck because of using RTNL. In order to avoid this bottleneck, mc_lock is added. mc_lock protect only per-interface mld data and per-interface mld data is used in the query/report event handler logic. So, no longer rtnl_lock is needed in the query/report event handler logic. Therefore bottleneck will be disappeared by mc_lock.

So, in order to switch context, the two workqueues are added which processes query and report event. In the struct inet6_dev, mc_{query | report}_queue are added so it is per-interface queue. And mc_{query | report}_work are workqueue structure. When the query or report event is received, skb is queued to proper queue and worker function is scheduled immediately. Workqueues and queues are protected by spinlock, which is mc_{query | report}_lock, and worker functions are protected by RTNL.

2020-05-11ipv6: Replace zero-length array with flexible-arrayGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Additionally, the motivation for temporary addresses is indeed privacy and reduced exposure. With a default Valid Lifetime of 7 days, an address that becomes revealed by active communication is reachable and exposed for one whole week. The only use case for a Valid Lifetime of 7 days could be some application that is expecting to have long lived connections. But if you want to have a long lived connections, you shouldn't be using a temporary address in the first place. Additionally, in the era of mobile devices, general applications should nevertheless be prepared and robust to address changes (e.g. nodes swap wifi <-> 4G, etc.) * Employs different IIDs for different prefixes To avoid network activity correlation among addresses configured for different prefixes * Uses a simpler algorithm for IID generation No need to store "history" anywhere Signed-off-by: Fernando Gont <fgont@si6networks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

icmp6_send() function is expensive on systems with a large number of interfaces. Every time it’s called, it has to verify that the source address does not correspond to an existing anycast address by looping through every device and every anycast address on the device. This can result in significant delays for a CPU when there are a large number of neighbors and ND timers are frequently timing out and calling neigh_invalidate(). Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable to allow quick searching for matching anycast addresses. This is based on inet6_addr_lst in addrconf.c.

2016-10-14IPv6: fix DESYNC_FACTORJiri Bohac
The IPv6 temporary address generation uses a variable called DESYNC_FACTOR to prevent hosts updating the addresses at the same time. Quoting RFC 4941: ... The value DESYNC_FACTOR is a random value (different for each client) that ensures that clients don't synchronize with each other and generate new addresses at exactly the same time ... DESYNC_FACTOR is defined as: DESYNC_FACTOR -- A random value within the range 0 - MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR. It is computed once at system start (rather than each time it is used) and must never be greater than (TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE). First, I believe the RFC has a typo in it and meant to say: "and must never be greater than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE)" The reason is that at various places in the RFC, DESYNC_FACTOR is used in a calculation like (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - DESYNC_FACTOR) or (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE - DESYNC_FACTOR). It needs to be smaller than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE) for the result of these calculations to be larger than zero. It's never used in a calculation together with TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME. I already submitted an errata to the rfc-editor: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4941 The Linux implementation of DESYNC_FACTOR is very wrong: max_desync_factor is used in places DESYNC_FACTOR should be used. max_desync_factor is initialized to the RFC-recommended value for MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR (600) but the whole point is to get a _random_ value. And nothing ensures that the value used is not greater than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE), which leads to underflows. The effect can easily be observed when setting the temp_prefered_lft sysctl e.g. to 60. The preferred lifetime of the temporary addresses will be bogus. TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME and REGEN_ADVANCE are not constants and can be influenced by these three sysctls: regen_max_retry, dad_transmits and temp_prefered_lft. Thus, the upper bound for desync_factor needs to be re-calculated each time a new address is generated and if desync_factor is larger than the new upper bound, a new random value needs to be re-generated. And since we already have max_desync_factor configurable per interface, we also need to calculate and store desync_factor per interface.

2014-07-11ipv6: addrconf: implement address generation modesJiri Pirko
This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up, monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it. One more use-case by Dan Williams: <quote> WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND. The kernel cannot generate the correct LL address for two reasons: 1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address, or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware. Thus the EUI64 and the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong. The real LL address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary commands. 2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from kernel assignments. Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL address of the PPP interface and its peer. But the kernel has already assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface. So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust. </quote> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-28ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueueHannes Frederic Sowa
addrconf_join_solict and addrconf_join_anycast may cause actions which need rtnl locked, especially on first address creation. A new DAD state is introduced which defers processing of the initial DAD processing into a workqueue. To get rtnl lock we need to push the code paths which depend on those calls up to workqueues, specifically addrconf_verify and the DAD processing. (v2) addrconf_dad_failure needs to be queued up to the workqueue, too. This patch introduces a new DAD state and stop the DAD processing in the workqueue (this is because of the possible ipv6_del_addr processing which removes the solicited multicast address from the device). addrconf_verify_lock is removed, too.

2014-01-17ipv6: simplify detection of first operational link-local address on interfaceHannes Frederic Sowa
In commit 1ec047eb4751e3 ("ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addresses") I build the detection of the first operational link-local address much to complex. Additionally this code now has a race condition. Replace it with a much simpler variant, which just scans the address list when duplicate address detection completes, to check if this is the first valid link local address and send RS and MLD reports then.

2013-09-04net: ipv6: mld: fix v1/v2 switchback timeout to rfc3810, 9.12.Daniel Borkmann
i) RFC3810, 9.2. Query Interval [QI] says: The Query Interval variable denotes the interval between General Queries sent by the Querier. Default value: 125 seconds. [...] ii) RFC3810, 9.3. Query Response Interval [QRI] says: The Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted into the periodic General Queries. Default value: 10000 (10 seconds) [...] The number of seconds represented by the [Query Response Interval] must be less than the [Query Interval]. iii) RFC3810, 9.12. Older Version Querier Present Timeout [OVQPT] says: The Older Version Querier Present Timeout is the time-out for transitioning a host back to MLDv2 Host Compatibility Mode. When an MLDv1 query is received, MLDv2 hosts set their Older Version Querier Present Timer to [Older Version Querier Present Timeout]. This value MUST be ([Robustness Variable] times (the [Query Interval] in the last Query received)) plus ([Query Response Interval]). Hence, on *default* the timeout results in: [RV] = 2, [QI] = 125sec, [QRI] = 10sec [OVQPT] = [RV] * [QI] + [QRI] = 260sec Having that said, we currently calculate [OVQPT] (here given as 'switchback' variable) as ... switchback = (idev->mc_qrv + 1) * max_delay RFC3810, 9.12. says "the [Query Interval] in the last Query received". In section "9.14. Configuring timers", it is said: This section is meant to provide advice to network administrators on how to tune these settings to their network. Ambitious router implementations might tune these settings dynamically based upon changing characteristics of the network. [...] iv) RFC38010, 9.14.2. Query Interval: The overall level of periodic MLD traffic is inversely proportional to the Query Interval. A longer Query Interval results in a lower overall level of MLD traffic. The value of the Query Interval MUST be equal to or greater than the Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted in General Query messages. I assume that was why switchback is calculated as is (3 * max_delay), although this setting seems to be meant for routers only to configure their [QI] interval for non-default intervals. So usage here like this is clearly wrong. Concluding, the current behaviour in IPv6's multicast code is not conform to the RFC as switch back is calculated wrongly. That is, it has a too small value, so MLDv2 hosts switch back again to MLDv2 way too early, i.e. ~30secs instead of ~260secs on default. Hence, introduce necessary helper functions and fix this up properly as it should be. Introduced in 06da92283 ("[IPV6]: Add MLDv2 support.").

2013-06-28ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addressesHannes Frederic Sowa
To reduce the number of unnecessary router solicitations, MLDv2 and IGMPv3 messages we need to track the number of valid (as in non-optimistic, no-dad-failed and non-tentative) link-local addresses. Therefore, this patch implements a valid_ll_addr_cnt in struct inet6_dev. We now only emit router solicitations if the first link-local address finishes duplicate address detection. The changes for MLDv2 and IGMPv3 are in a follow-up patch. While there, also simplify one if statement(one minor nit I made in one of my previous patches): if (!...) do(); else return; <<into>> if (...) return; do(); Cc: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com> Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Cc: David Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Suggested-by: David Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Acked-by: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-06-25ipv6: split duplicate address detection and router solicitation timerHannes Frederic Sowa
This patch splits the timers for duplicate address detection and router solicitations apart. The router solicitations timer goes into inet6_dev and the dad timer stays in inet6_ifaddr. The reason behind this patch is to reduce the number of unneeded router solicitations send out by the host if additional link-local addresses are created. Currently we send out RS for every link-local address on an interface. If the RS timer fires we pick a source address with ipv6_get_lladdr. This change could hurt people adding additional link-local addresses and specifying these addresses in the radvd clients section because we no longer guarantee that we use every ll address as source address in router solicitations.

2013-05-19ipv6: add support of peer addressNicolas Dichtel
This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is possible to specify the remote end of a 6inY tunnel. This was already possible in IPv4: ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1 The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with IFA_LOCAL (like explained in include/uapi/linux/if_addr.h). Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not possible to specify two different addresses in IFA_LOCAL and IFA_REMOTE. There is a small change for the dump: if the peer is different from ::, IFA_ADDRESS will contain the peer address instead of the local address.

2013-04-09net: ipv6: only invalidate previously tokenized addressesDaniel Borkmann
Instead of invalidating all IPv6 addresses with global scope when one decides to use IPv6 tokens, we should only invalidate previous tokens and leave the rest intact until they expire eventually (or are intact forever). For doing this less greedy approach, we're adding a bool at the end of inet6_ifaddr structure instead, for two reasons: i) per-inet6_ifaddr flag space is already used up, making it wider might not be a good idea, since ii) also we do not necessarily need to export this information into user space.

2013-04-08net: ipv6: add tokenized interface identifier supportDaniel Borkmann
This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status. The primary target for such support is server platforms where addresses are usually manually configured, rather than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers, hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should their network prefix change. [...] The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are likely to require manual editing should the network prefix in use change. If instead there were a method to only manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6 address, then the address could be automatically updated when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192] for example. In such cases a DNS server might be configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of ::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02 The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K. Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested by myself.

Update the code to handle some of the differences between RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple of janitorial fixes. - Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041, but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME: in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate addresses prematurely. - Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941. - Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp. - Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.
