ipv4: Make neigh lookup keys for loopback/point-to-point devices be INADDR_ANY

2018-01-31T13:46:15Z

[ Upstream commit cd9ff4de0107c65d69d02253bb25d6db93c3dbc1 ] Map all lookup neigh keys to INADDR_ANY for loopback/point-to-point devices to avoid making an entry for every remote ip the device needs to talk to. This used the be the old behavior but became broken in a263b3093641f (ipv4: Make neigh lookups directly in output packet path) and later removed in 0bb4087cbec0 (ipv4: Fix neigh lookup keying over loopback/point-to-point devices) because it was broken.

ipv4: arp: update neighbour address when a gratuitous arp is received and arp_accept is set

2014-01-02T05:08:38Z

Gratuitous arp packets are useful in switchover scenarios to update client arp tables as quickly as possible. Currently, the mac address of a neighbour is only updated after a locktime period has elapsed since the last update. In most use cases such delays are unacceptable for network admins. Moreover, the "updated" field of the neighbour stucture doesn't record the last time the address of a neighbour changed but records any change that happens to the neighbour. This is clearly a bug since locktime uses that field as meaning "addr_updated". With this observation, I was able to perpetuate a stale address by sending a stream of gratuitous arp packets spaced less than locktime apart. With this change the address is updated when a gratuitous arp is received and the arp_accept sysctl is set. Signed-off-by: Salam Noureddine Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4: fix wildcard search with inet_confirm_addr()

2013-12-11T19:47:40Z

Help of this function says: "in_dev: only on this interface, 0=any interface", but since commit 39a6d0630012 ("[NETNS]: Process inet_confirm_addr in the correct namespace."), the code supposes that it will never be NULL. This function is never called with in_dev == NULL, but it's exported and may be used by an external module. Because this patch restore the ability to call inet_confirm_addr() with in_dev == NULL, I partially revert the above commit, as suggested by Julian.

This patch converts the neigh param members to an array. This allows easier manipulation which will be needed later on to provide better management of default values. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: neighbour: Remove CONFIG_ARPD

2013-09-04T01:41:43Z

This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify() for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e., the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.
