2020-11-11net: evaluate net.ipvX.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdownVincent Bernat1-0/+3
Introduced in 0eeb075fad73, the "ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl ignores a route whose interface is down. It is provided as a per-interface sysctl. However, while a "all" variant is exposed, it was a noop since it was never evaluated. We use the usual "or" logic for this kind of sysctls. Tested with: ip link add type veth # veth0 + veth1 ip link add type veth # veth1 + veth2 ip link set up dev veth0 ip link set up dev veth1 # link-status paired with veth0 ip link set up dev veth2 ip link set up dev veth3 # link-status paired with veth2 # First available path ip -4 addr add 203.0.113.${uts#H}/24 dev veth0 ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:1::${uts#H}/64 dev veth0 # Second available path ip -4 addr add 192.0.2.${uts#H}/24 dev veth2 ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:2::${uts#H}/64 dev veth2 # More specific route through first path ip -4 route add 198.51.100.0/25 via 203.0.113.254 # via veth0 ip -6 route add 2001:db8:3::/56 via 2001:db8:1::ff # via veth0 # Less specific route through second path ip -4 route add 198.51.100.0/24 via 192.0.2.254 # via veth2 ip -6 route add 2001:db8:3::/48 via 2001:db8:2::ff # via veth2 # H1: enable on "all" # H2: enable on "veth0" for v in ipv4 ipv6; do case $uts in H1) sysctl -qw net.${v}.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown=1 ;; H2) sysctl -qw net.${v}.conf.veth0.ignore_routes_with_linkdown=1 ;; esac done set -xe # When veth0 is up, best route is through veth0 ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth0 ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth0 # When veth0 is down, best route should be through veth2 on H1/H2, # but on veth0 on H2 ip link set down dev veth1 # down veth0 ip route show [ $uts != H3 ] || ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth0 [ $uts != H3 ] || ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth0 [ $uts = H3 ] || ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth2 [ $uts = H3 ] || ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth2 Without this patch, the two last lines would fail on H1 (the one using the "all" sysctl). With the patch, everything succeeds as expected. Also document the sysctl in `ip-sysctl.rst`.

2020-10-30sctp: enable udp tunneling socksXin Long1-0/+15
This patch is to enable udp tunneling socks by calling sctp_udp_sock_start() in sctp_ctrlsock_init(), and sctp_udp_sock_stop() in sctp_ctrlsock_exit(). Also add sysctl udp_port to allow changing the listening sock's port by users. Wit this patch, the whole sctp over udp feature can be enabled and used. v1->v2: - Also update ctl_sock udp_port in proc_sctp_do_udp_port() where netns udp_port gets changed. v2->v3: - Call htons() when setting sk udp_port from netns udp_port. v3->v4: - Not call sctp_udp_sock_start() when new_value is 0. - Add udp_port entry in ip-sysctl.rst. v4->v5: - Not call sctp_udp_sock_start/stop() in sctp_ctrlsock_init/exit(). - Improve the description of udp_port in ip-sysctl.rst.

2020-10-30sctp: add encap_port for netns sock asoc and transportXin Long1-0/+16
encap_port is added as per netns/sock/assoc/transport, and the latter one's encap_port inherits the former one's by default. The transport's encap_port value would mostly decide if one packet should go out with udp encapsulated or not. This patch also allows users to set netns' encap_port by sysctl. v1->v2: - Change to define encap_port as __be16 for sctp_sock, asoc and transport. v2->v3: - No change. v3->v4: - Add 'encap_port' entry in ip-sysctl.rst. v4->v5: - Improve the description of encap_port in ip-sysctl.rst.

2020-10-16icmp: randomize the global rate limiterEric Dumazet1-1/+3
Keyu Man reported that the ICMP rate limiter could be used by attackers to get useful signal. Details will be provided in an upcoming academic publication. Our solution is to add some noise, so that the attackers no longer can get help from the predictable token bucket limiter.

2020-05-06ipv6: Implement draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bisFernando Gont1-1/+1
Implement the upcoming rev of RFC4941 (IPv6 temporary addresses): https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-09 * Reduces the default Valid Lifetime to 2 days The number of extra addresses employed when Valid Lifetime was 7 days exacerbated the stress caused on network elements/devices. 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.

2020-04-30tcp: add hrtimer slack to sack compressionEric Dumazet1-0/+8
Add a sysctl to control hrtimer slack, default of 100 usec. This gives the opportunity to reduce system overhead, and help very short RTT flows.
