2009-06-23ipv6: Use correct data types for ICMPv6 type and codeBrian Haley
Change all the code that deals directly with ICMPv6 type and code values to use u8 instead of a signed int as that's the actual data type. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-27net: fix xfrm reverse flow lookup for icmp6Jiri Pirko
This patch fixes the xfrm reverse flow lookup for icmp6 so that icmp6 packets don't get lost over ipsec tunnels.

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of & will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break compilation.

2008-04-03[ICMP]: Ensure that ICMP relookup maintains status quoHerbert Xu
The ICMP relookup path is only meant to modify behaviour when appropriate IPsec policies are in place and marked as requiring relookups. It is certainly not meant to modify behaviour when IPsec policies don't exist at all. However, due to an oversight on the error paths existing behaviour may in fact change should one of the relookup steps fail. This patch corrects this by redirecting all errors on relookup failures to the previous code path. That is, if the initial xfrm_lookup let the packet pass, we will stand by that decision should the relookup fail due to an error. This should be safe from a security point-of-view because compliant systems must install a default deny policy so the packet would'nt have passed in that case. Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for pointing out this error. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-01-28[IPSEC]: Add ICMP host relookup supportHerbert Xu
RFC 4301 requires us to relookup ICMP traffic that does not match any policies using the reverse of its payload.

This is activated on outbound with the new policy flag XFRM_POLICY_ICMP, and on inbound by the new state flag XFRM_STATE_ICMP. On inbound the policy check is now performed by the ICMP protocol so that it can repeat the policy check where necessary.

2007-10-10[IPV6]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293) [rev 2]David L Stevens
Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type. These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6. It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from radvd, etc). Changes: 1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib 2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib 3) modify existing counters to use these 4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types listed by number for easy SNMP parsing 5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data from new counters. [new to 2nd revision] 6) support per-interface ICMP stats 7) use common macro for per-device stat macros Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-14[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw socketsDmitry Butskoy
From: Dmitry Butskoy <dmitry@butskoy.name> Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747 Problem Description: It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected. There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses. Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is looked up usual way, it is something like: sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif); where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end). But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr" ... Steps to reproduce: Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach. Set IPV6_RECVERR . Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN). You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the socket do not receive it. If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual checks for local/remote addresses).

2007-07-10[IPV6] MIP6: Loadable module support for MIPv6.Masahide NAKAMURA
This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6". Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6: alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6 alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6 Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however, it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec or IPv6 with and without the patch. We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt separately for future work. Loadable features: * MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back) * RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS) * XFRM policy/state database handling for RO These are NOT covered as loadable: * Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection * XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option) * XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header * MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application opens it (since raw socket allows to do so) * RH2 sending as ancillary data * RH2 operation with setsockopt(2) Signed-off-by: Masahide NAKAMURA <nakam@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
