From bbea124bc99df968011e76eba105fe964a4eceab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Scherpelz Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 18:19:04 +0900 Subject: net: ipv6: Add sysctl for minimum prefix len acceptable in RIOs. This commit adds a new sysctl accept_ra_rt_info_min_plen that defines the minimum acceptable prefix length of Route Information Options. The new sysctl is intended to be used together with accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to configure a range of acceptable prefix lengths. It is useful to prevent misconfigurations from unintentionally blackholing too much of the IPv6 address space (e.g., home routers announcing RIOs for fc00::/7, which is incorrect).
