2012-10-08ipv4: Add FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NHJulian Anastasov
Add flag to request that output route should be returned with known rt_gateway, in case we want to use it as nexthop for neighbour resolving. The returned route can be cached as follows: - in NH exception: because the cached routes are not shared with other destinations - in FIB NH: when using gateway because all destinations for NH share same gateway As last option, to return rt_gateway!=0 we have to set DST_NOCACHE.

2012-02-04ipv4: reset flowi parameters on route connectJulian Anastasov
Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression. The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups. The result is that when connecting to local port without listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because it expects RTN_LOCAL. So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because we do not want unnecessary binding to oif. To make it clear what are the input parameters that can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4 structure: flowi4_update_output. Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a program to reproduce the problem.

2010-09-28ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addressesTom Herbert
This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to configure the address on an interface. This is done through routing table configuration. For instance, to configure a host to respond to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do: ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200 ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200 This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on input for packets received on eth0 can find the route). On output, the rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to 10.1/16 (not sent on loopback). Presumably, external routing can be configured to make sense out of this. To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the interface which is assigned a given source address for output (dev_ip_find). We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input interface for matching. This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual addresses. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-04-07flow: virtualize flow cache entry methodsTimo Teräs
This allows to validate the cached object before returning it. It also allows to destruct object properly, if the last reference was held in flow cache. This is also a prepartion for caching bundles in the flow cache. In return for virtualizing the methods, we save on: - not having to regenerate the whole flow cache on policy removal: each flow matching a killed policy gets refreshed as the getter function notices it smartly. - we do not have to call flow_cache_flush from policy gc, since the flow cache now properly deletes the object if it had any references Signed-off-by: Timo Teras <timo.teras@iki.fi> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-30[XFRM]: Restrict upper layer information by bundle.Masahide NAKAMURA
On MIPv6 usage, XFRM sub policy is enabled. When main (IPsec) and sub (MIPv6) policy selectors have the same address set but different upper layer information (i.e. protocol number and its ports or type/code), multiple bundle should be created. However, currently we have issue to use the same bundle created for the first time with all flows covered by the case. It is useful for the bundle to have the upper layer information to be restructured correctly if it does not match with the flow. 1. Bundle was created by two policies Selector from another policy is added to xfrm_dst. If the flow does not match the selector, it goes to slow path to restructure new bundle by single policy. 2. Bundle was created by one policy Flow cache is added to xfrm_dst as originated one. If the flow does not match the cache, it goes to slow path to try searching another policy.

2006-12-02[NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowiThomas Graf
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 <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-10-11IPsec: propagate security module errors up from flow_cache_lookupJames Morris
When a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return an access denied permission (or other error). We were not handling that correctly, and in fact inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not associated with an xfrm policy. The way I was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec. The first SYNACK would be blocked, because of an uncached lookup via flow_cache_lookup(), which would fail to resolve an xfrm policy because the SELinux policy is checked at that point via the resolver. However, retransmitted SYNACKs would then find a cached flow entry when calling into flow_cache_lookup() with a null xfrm policy, which is interpreted by xfrm_lookup() as the packet not having any associated policy and similarly to the first case, allowing it to pass without transformation. The solution presented here is to first ensure that errno values are correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly. Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux) for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the flow cache entry).
