5d9efa7ee9 ipv6: Remove privacy config option.
The code for privacy extentions is very mature, and making it
configurable only gives marginal memory/code savings in exchange
for obfuscation and hard to read code via CPP ifdef'ery.

89225d1ce6 net: ipv6: mld: fix v1/v2 switchback timeout to rfc3810, 9.12.
i) RFC3810, 9.2. Query Interval [QI] says:

   The Query Interval variable denotes the interval between General
   Queries sent by the Querier. Default value: 125 seconds. [...]

ii) RFC3810, 9.3. Query Response Interval [QRI] says:

  The Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response
  Code inserted into the periodic General Queries. Default value:
  10000 (10 seconds) [...] The number of seconds represented by the
  [Query Response Interval] must be less than the [Query Interval].

iii) RFC3810, 9.12. Older Version Querier Present Timeout [OVQPT] says:

  The Older Version Querier Present Timeout is the time-out for
  transitioning a host back to MLDv2 Host Compatibility Mode. When an
  MLDv1 query is received, MLDv2 hosts set their Older Version Querier
  Present Timer to [Older Version Querier Present Timeout].

  This value MUST be ([Robustness Variable] times (the [Query Interval]
  in the last Query received)) plus ([Query Response Interval]).

Hence, on *default* the timeout results in:

  [RV] = 2, [QI] = 125sec, [QRI] = 10sec
  [OVQPT] = [RV] * [QI] + [QRI] = 260sec

Having that said, we currently calculate [OVQPT] (here given as 'switchback'
variable) as ...

  switchback = (idev->mc_qrv + 1) * max_delay

RFC3810, 9.12. says "the [Query Interval] in the last Query received". In
section "9.14. Configuring timers", it is said:

  This section is meant to provide advice to network administrators on
  how to tune these settings to their network. Ambitious router
  implementations might tune these settings dynamically based upon
  changing characteristics of the network. [...]

iv) RFC38010, 9.14.2. Query Interval:

  The overall level of periodic MLD traffic is inversely proportional
  to the Query Interval. A longer Query Interval results in a lower
  overall level of MLD traffic. The value of the Query Interval MUST
  be equal to or greater than the Maximum Response Delay used to
  calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted in General Query
  messages.

I assume that was why switchback is calculated as is (3 * max_delay), although
this setting seems to be meant for routers only to configure their [QI]
interval for non-default intervals. So usage here like this is clearly wrong.

Concluding, the current behaviour in IPv6's multicast code is not conform
to the RFC as switch back is calculated wrongly. That is, it has a too small
value, so MLDv2 hosts switch back again to MLDv2 way too early, i.e. ~30secs
instead of ~260secs on default.

Hence, introduce necessary helper functions and fix this up properly as it
should be.

Introduced in 06da92283 ("[IPV6]: Add MLDv2 support."). Credits to Hannes
Frederic Sowa who also had a hand in this as well. Also thanks to Hangbin Liu
who did initial testing.

b173ee488d ipv6: resend MLD report if a link-local address completes DAD
RFC3590/RFC3810 specifies we should resend MLD reports as soon as a
valid link-local address is available.

We now use the valid_ll_addr_cnt to check if it is necessary to resend
a new report.

Changes since Flavio Leitner's version:
a) adapt for valid_ll_addr_cnt
b) resend first reports directly in the path and just arm the timer for
   mc_qrv-1 resends.

1ec047eb47 ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addresses
To reduce the number of unnecessary router solicitations, MLDv2 and IGMPv3
messages we need to track the number of valid (as in non-optimistic,
no-dad-failed and non-tentative) link-local addresses. Therefore, this
patch implements a valid_ll_addr_cnt in struct inet6_dev.

We now only emit router solicitations if the first link-local address
finishes duplicate address detection.

The changes for MLDv2 and IGMPv3 are in a follow-up patch.

While there, also simplify one if statement(one minor nit I made in one
of my previous patches):

if (!...)
	do();
else
	return;

<<into>>

if (...)
	return;
do();

b7b1bfce0b ipv6: split duplicate address detection and router solicitation timer
This patch splits the timers for duplicate address detection and router
solicitations apart. The router solicitations timer goes into inet6_dev
and the dad timer stays in inet6_ifaddr.

The reason behind this patch is to reduce the number of unneeded router
solicitations send out by the host if additional link-local addresses
are created. Currently we send out RS for every link-local address on
an interface.

If the RS timer fires we pick a source address with ipv6_get_lladdr. This
change could hurt people adding additional link-local addresses and
specifying these addresses in the radvd clients section because we
no longer guarantee that we use every ll address as source address in
router solicitations.

caeaba7900 ipv6: add support of peer address
This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is
possible to specify the remote end of a 6inY tunnel.
This was already possible in IPv4:
 ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1

The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with
IFA_LOCAL (like explained in include/uapi/linux/if_addr.h).
Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not
possible to specify two different addresses in IFA_LOCAL and IFA_REMOTE.
There is a small change for the dump: if the peer is different from ::,
IFA_ADDRESS will contain the peer address instead of the local address.

617fe29d45 net: ipv6: only invalidate previously tokenized addresses
Instead of invalidating all IPv6 addresses with global scope
when one decides to use IPv6 tokens, we should only invalidate
previous tokens and leave the rest intact until they expire
eventually (or are intact forever). For doing this less greedy
approach, we're adding a bool at the end of inet6_ifaddr structure
instead, for two reasons: i) per-inet6_ifaddr flag space is
already used up, making it wider might not be a good idea,
since ii) also we do not necessarily need to export this
information into user space.

f53adae4ea net: ipv6: add tokenized interface identifier support
This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow
for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from
Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status.

  The primary target for such support is server platforms
  where addresses are usually manually configured, rather
  than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers,
  hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of
  SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should
  their network prefix change. [...]

  The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are
  likely to require manual editing should the network prefix
  in use change.  If instead there were a method to only
  manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6
  address, then the address could be automatically updated
  when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192]
  for example.  In such cases a DNS server might be
  configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of
  ::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the
  interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...]

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02

The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K.
Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink
interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that
it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested
by myself.

76f793e3a4 ipv6: updates to privacy addresses per RFC 4941.
Update the code to handle some of the differences between
RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple
of janitorial fixes.

- Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of
  temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041,
  but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA
  lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME:
  in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate
  addresses prematurely.

- Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941.

- Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid
  lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp.

- Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.

be281e554e ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes
ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because
they use percpu storage.

needed size per device is :
(512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2

On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of
memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool.

Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t)

Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might
also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

93ca3bb5df net: gre: provide multicast mappings for ipv4 and ipv6
My commit 6d55cb91a0 (gre: fix hard header destination
address checking) broke multicast.

The reason is that ip_gre used to get ipgre_header() calls with
zero destination if we have NOARP or multicast destination. Instead
the actual target was decided at ipgre_tunnel_xmit() time based on
per-protocol dissection.

Instead of allowing the "abuse" of ->header() calls with invalid
destination, this creates multicast mappings for ip_gre. This also
fixes "ip neigh show nud noarp" to display the proper multicast
mappings used by the gre device.

a9e527e3f9 IPoIB: improve IPv4/IPv6 to IB mcast mapping functions
An IPoIB subnet on an IB fabric that spans multiple IB subnets can't
use link-local scope in multicast GIDs.  The existing routines that
map IP/IPv6 multicast addresses into IB link-level addresses hard-code
the scope to link-local, and they also leave the partition key field
uninitialised.  This patch adds a parameter (the link-level broadcast
address) to the mapping routines, allowing them to initialise both the
scope and the P_Key appropriately, and fixes up the call sites.

The next step will be to add a way to configure the scope for an IPoIB
interface.

14878f75ab [IPV6]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293) [rev 2]
Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP
type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table
includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all
ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type.

These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and
replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6.
It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the
values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated
from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from
radvd, etc).

Changes:
1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib
2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib
3) modify existing counters to use these
4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types
        listed by number for easy SNMP parsing
5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data
        from new counters.
[new to 2nd revision]
6) support per-interface ICMP stats
7) use common macro for per-device stat macros

955189efb4 [IPV6]: ADDRCONF: Use our standard algorithm for randomized ifid.
RFC 3041 describes an algorithm to generate random interface
identifier.  In RFC 3041bis, it is allowed to use different
algorithm than one described in RFC 3041.

So, let's use our standard pseudo random algorithm to simplify
our implementation.

5ab4a6c81e [IPV6] mcast: Fix multiple issues in MLDv2 reports.
The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.

1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
        all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]

2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]

3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
        a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
        b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
                not excluded
        c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report

NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
  source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
  path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
  as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, 
  relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
  machine.

4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
        The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
        list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
        short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
        with an empty list if needed.

5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
        its original value

These issues (other than item #1 ;-) ) were all found by Yan Zheng,
much thanks!

3c21edbd11 [IPV6]: Defer IPv6 device initialization until the link becomes ready.
NETDEV_UP might be sent even if the link attached to the interface was
not ready.  DAD does not make sense in such case, so we won't do so.
After interface

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
