This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited
neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as
far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality
for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time).
Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they
are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills
the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been
generated locally.

This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.
- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
IPv6-specific routines. Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
are supported.
- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
Default is 1.
- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:
ndisc_build_skb()
ndisc_send_skb()
These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically
__ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.
- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
support to 3.4.0.
On failover, this new code will generate one packet:
- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
learn that the address has moved to the new slave.
Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

Problem observed:
In IPv6, in the presence of multiple routers candidates to
default gateway in one segment, each sending a different
value of preference, the Linux hosts connected to the
segment weren't selecting the right one in all the
combinations possible of LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH preference.
This patch changes two files:
include/linux/icmpv6.h
Get the "router_pref" bitfield in the right place
(as RFC4191 says), named the bit left with this fix as
"home_agent" (RFC3775 say that's his function)
net/ipv6/ndisc.c
Corrects the binary logic behind the updating of the
router preference in the flags of the routing table
Result:
With this two fixes applied, the default route used by
the system was to consistent with the rules mentioned
in RFC4191 in case of changes in the value of preference

Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry.
There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns()
uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.
This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after
the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped
and the deleting procedure may proceed.
One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too
big for -rc4.
So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
the flags on alive pneigh entry.
Changes from v2:
As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module.
The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL
does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the
exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.

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. That makes the code cleaner
for the fib6_run_gc callers.

I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it
appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by
network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user
interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network
namespace of their devices.
However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the
code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network
device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the
defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default.
So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very
own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and
destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the
code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries
for devices of other namespaces.
I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table
configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good
enough for now.
I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network
namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The
hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a
limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care
of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and
used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single
neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink
operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call
neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more
refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra
filtering in the code.

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.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.
To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.
As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in
ndisc_redirect_rcv():
if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
on_link = 1;
} else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
"ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not
link-local.\n");
return;
}
This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found
that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global
address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication.
But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as
following:
Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for
he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is
the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the
destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field
MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination
Address field. Otherwise the target is a better
first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the
router's link-local address so that hosts can
uniquely identify routers.
According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the
target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address
or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of
ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target
address correctly.
There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461:
8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages
A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does
not satisfy all of the following validity checks:
......
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
......
And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented
this definition, checks the target address correctly.
if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
on_link = 1;
} else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
"ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n");
return;
}
So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address
also.

We did not send appropriate IsRouter flag if the forwarding setting is
positive even value. Let's give 1/0 value to ndisc_send_na().
Also, existing users of ndisc_send_na() give 0/1 to override,
we can omit redundant operation in that function.

We have sent NA with router flag from the node-wide forwarding
configuration. This is not appropriate for proxy NA, and it should be
set according to each proxy entry's configuration.
This is used by Mobile IPv6 home agent to support physical home link
in acting as a proxy router for mobile node which is not a router,
for example.

This aims at proxying router not updating neighbor cache entry for proxied
address when it receives NA because either the proxied node is off link or
it has already sent a NA to the proxied router.

There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIP6 strings.
ie: net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c
There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIPQUAD strings too.
ie: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c
This patch:
adds NIP6_FMT to kernel.h
changes all code to use NIP6_FMT
fixes net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c
adds NIPQUAD_FMT to kernel.h
fixes net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c

Timer set up by pneigh_enqueue() ended up calling ndisc_rcv()
via pndisc_redo(), which clears LOCALLY_ENQUEUED flag in
NEIGH_CB(skb) and NS was queued again.
Let's call ndisc_recv_ns() directly to avoid the loop.

Essentially netlink at the moment always reports a pid and sequence of 0
always for v6 route activities.
To understand the repurcassions of this look at:
http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2005-June/003507.html
While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue
of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well.
This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e
maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to
the process. That made the patch a little bulky.
I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as
well as ioctl derived one. The Quagga folks have tested against quagga.
This fixes the problem and so far hasnt been detected to introduce any
new issues.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
