2) br_multicast.c had an overlap between computing max_delay using
msecs_to_jiffies and turning MLDV2_MRC() into an inline function
with a name using lowercase instead of uppercase letters.
3) stmmac had two overlapping changes, one which conditionally allocated

and another one handling store-and-forward DMA made. The latter of
which should not go into the new of_find_property() basic block.

When an Xin6 tunnel is set up, we check other netdevices to inherit the link-
local address. If none is available, the interface will not have any link-local
address. RFC4862 expects that each interface has a link local address.
Now than this kind of tunnels supports x-netns, it's easy to fall in this case
(by creating the tunnel in a netns where ethernet interfaces stand and then
moving it to a other netns where no ethernet interface is available).
RFC4291, Appendix A suggests two methods: the first is the one currently
implemented, the second is to generate a unique identifier, so that we can
always generate the link-local address. Let's use eth_random_addr() to generate
this interface indentifier.
I remove completly the previous method, hence for the whole life of the
interface, the link-local address remains the same (previously, it depends on
which ethernet interfaces were up when the tunnel interface was set up).

Because of the max_addresses check attackers were able to disable privacy
extensions on an interface by creating enough autoconfigured addresses:
<http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q4/292>
But the check is not actually needed: max_addresses protects the
kernel to install too many ipv6 addresses on an interface and guards
addrconf_prefix_rcv to install further addresses as soon as this limit
is reached. We only generate temporary addresses in direct response of
a new address showing up. As soon as we filled up the maximum number of
addresses of an interface, we stop installing more addresses and thus
also stop generating more temp addresses.
Even if the attacker tries to generate a lot of temporary addresses
by announcing a prefix and removing it again (lifetime == 0) we won't
install more temp addresses, because the temporary addresses do count
to the maximum number of addresses, thus we would stop installing new
autoconfigured addresses when the limit is reached.
This patch fixes CVE-2013-0343 (but other layer-2 attacks are still
possible).

configuration of igmp unsolicited report interval") by William Manley made
igmp unsolicited report intervals configurable per interface and corrected
the interval of unsolicited igmpv3 report messages resendings to 1s.
Same needs to be done for IPv6:
MLDv1 (RFC2710 7.10.): 10 seconds
MLDv2 (RFC3810 9.11.): 1 second
Both intervals are configurable via new procfs knobs
mldv1_unsolicited_report_interval and mldv2_unsolicited_report_interval.
(also added .force_mld_version to ipv6_devconf_dflt to bring structs in
line without semantic changes)
v2:
a) Joined documentation update for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD/IGMP
unsolicited_report_interval procfs knobs.
b) incorporate stylistic feedback from William Manley
v3:
a) add new DEVCONF_* values to the end of the enum (thanks to David

There's a race in IPv6 automatic addess assignment. The address is created
with zero lifetime when it's added to various address lists. Before it gets
assigned the correct lifetime, there's a window where a new address may be
configured. This causes the semi-initiated address to be deleted in
addrconf_verify.
This was discovered as a reference leak caused by concurrent run of
__ipv6_ifa_notify for both RTM_NEWADDR and RTM_DELADDR with the same
address.
Fix this by setting the lifetime before the address is added to
inet6_addr_lst.
A few notes:
1. In addrconf_prefix_rcv, by setting update_lft to zero, the
if (update_lft) { ... } condition is no longer executed for newly
created addresses. This is okay, as the ifp fields are set in
ipv6_add_addr now and ipv6_ifa_notify is called (and has been called)
through addrconf_dad_start.
2. The removal of the whole block under ifp->lock in inet6_addr_add is okay,
too, as tstamp is initialized to jiffies in ipv6_add_addr.

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.

Quoting https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812:
[ ip6tables -m addrtype ]
When I tried to use in the nat/PREROUTING it messes up the
routing cache even if the rule didn't matched at all.
[..]
If I remove the --limit-iface-in from the non-working scenario, so just
use the -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL it works!
This happens when LOCAL type matching is requested with --limit-iface-in,
and the default ipv6 route is via the interface the packet we test
arrived on.
Because xt_addrtype uses ip6_route_output, the ipv6 routing implementation
creates an unwanted cached entry, and the packet won't make it to the
real/expected destination.
Silently ignoring --limit-iface-in makes the routing work but it breaks
rule matching (--dst-type LOCAL with limit-iface-in is supposed to only
match if the dst address is configured on the incoming interface;
without --limit-iface-in it will match if the address is reachable
via lo).
The test should call ipv6_chk_addr() instead. However, this would add
a link-time dependency on ipv6.
There are two possible solutions:
1) Revert the commit that moved ipt_addrtype to xt_addrtype,
and put ipv6 specific code into ip6t_addrtype.
2) add new "nf_ipv6_ops" struct to register pointers to ipv6 functions.
While the former might seem preferable, Pablo pointed out that there
are more xt modules with link-time dependeny issues regarding ipv6,
so lets go for 2).

This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is

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.

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

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.

IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
'lo' are lost.
IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from routing
table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when 'lo' is
brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable from the
same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines because of
NDISC packet processing failure.
This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and adding
them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.

This patch adds a dev_addr_genid for IPv6. The goal is to use it, combined with
dev_base_seq to check if a change occurs during a netlink dump.
If a change is detected, the flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR is set in the first message
after the dump was interrupted.
Note that only dump of unicast addresses is checked (multicast and anycast are
not checked).

With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its
computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header
length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly
anyway.
