ipv4: igmp: guard against silly MTU values

2018-01-02T19:04:58Z

[ Upstream commit b5476022bbada3764609368f03329ca287528dc8 ] IPv4 stack reacts to changes to small MTU, by disabling itself under RTNL. But there is a window where threads not using RTNL can see a wrong device mtu. This can lead to surprises, in igmp code where it is assumed the mtu is suitable. Fix this by reading device mtu once and checking IPv4 minimal MTU. This patch adds missing IPV4_MIN_MTU define, to not abuse ETH_MIN_MTU anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work during inetdev destroy.

2016-07-12T12:47:35Z

[ Upstream commit fbd40ea0180a2d328c5adc61414dc8bab9335ce2 ] When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface is removed. And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large: 1) Address promotion. We are deleting all addresses, so there is no point in doing this. 2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address. We only need to do this once, as is already caught by the existing masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this. Reported-by: Solar Designer Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4: fail early when creating netdev named all or default

2014-07-29T18:43:50Z

We create a proc dir for each network device, this will cause conflicts when the devices have name "all" or "default". Rather than emitting an ugly kernel warning, we could just fail earlier by checking the device name. Reported-by: Stephane Chazelas Cc: "David S.

ipv4: remove inet_addr_hash_lock in devinet.c

2014-05-09T02:56:56Z

All the callers hold RTNL lock, so there is no need to use inet_addr_hash_lock to protect the hash list. Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/ipv4: queue work on power efficient wq

2014-01-23T05:57:05Z

Workqueue used in ipv4 layer have no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that an idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions. This doesn't change existing behavior of code unless CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is enabled. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: replace macros net_random and net_srandom with direct calls to prandom

2014-01-14T23:15:25Z

This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around. This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32. Signed-off-by: Aruna-Hewapathirane Suggested-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: loopback device: ignore value changes after device is upped

2014-01-07T20:55:17Z

When lo is brought up, new ifa is created. Then, devconf and neigh values bitfield should be set so later changes of default values would not affect lo values. Note that the same behaviour is in ipv6. Also note that this is likely not an issue in many distros (for example Fedora 19) because userspace sets address to lo manually before bringing it up.
