ipv6: silence log messages for locally generated multicast

2008-12-09T23:48:32Z

This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time). Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been generated locally. Signed-off-by: Jan Sembera Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: simplify ->strategy

2008-10-16T18:21:47Z

name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array may be needed (name).

IPV6: Fix default gateway criteria wrt. HIGH/LOW preference radv option

2008-10-15T23:03:01Z

Problem observed: In IPv6, in the presence of multiple routers candidates to default gateway in one segment, each sending a different value of preference, the Linux hosts connected to the segment weren't selecting the right one in all the combinations possible of LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH preference. This patch changes two files: include/linux/icmpv6.h Get the "router_pref" bitfield in the right place (as RFC4191 says), named the bit left with this fix as "home_agent" (RFC3775 say that's his function) net/ipv6/ndisc.c Corrects the binary logic behind the updating of the router preference in the flags of the routing table Result: With this two fixes applied, the default route used by the system was to consistent with the rules mentioned in RFC4191 in case of changes in the value of preference in router advertisements Signed-off-by: Pedro Ribeiro Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-08-14T22:33:21Z

ipv6_dev_get_saddr() blindly de-references dst_dev to get the network namespace, but some callers might pass NULL. Change callers to pass a namespace pointer instead. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
