1f85851e17 ipv6: fix incorrent ipv6 ipsec packet fragment
Since commit 299b0767(ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem)
In func ip6_append_data,after call skb_put(skb, fraglen + dst_exthdrlen)
the skb->len contains dst_exthdrlen,and we don't reduce dst_exthdrlen at last
This will make fraggap>0 in next "while cycle",and cause the size of skb incorrent

Fix this by reserve headroom for dst_exthdrlen.

This is caused by bridge netfilter special dst_entry (fake_rtable), a
special shared entry, where attaching an inetpeer makes no sense.

Problem is present since commit 87c48fa3b4 (ipv6: make fragment
identifications less predictable)

Introduce DST_NOPEER dst flag and make sure ipv6_select_ident() and
__ip_select_ident() fallback to the 'no peer attached' handling.

a7ae199224 ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE
ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv6
with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to
needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

299b076764 ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem
ip6_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path).
On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol
headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after
the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a
slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets
based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr
handling to this.

f2c31e32b3 net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

87c48fa3b4 ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictable
IPv6 fragment identification generation is way beyond what we use for
IPv4 : It uses a single generator. Its not scalable and allows DOS
attacks.

Now inetpeer is IPv6 aware, we can use it to provide a more secure and
scalable frag ident generator (per destination, instead of system wide)

This patch :
1) defines a new secure_ipv6_id() helper
2) extends inet_getid() to provide 32bit results
3) extends ipv6_select_ident() with a new dest parameter

68d0c6d34d ipv6: Consolidate route lookup sequences.
Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
__xfrm_lookup().

__xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
-EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).

Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.

All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow.  The latter of which
handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.

3d13008e73 ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentation
Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() :

When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to
frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk
uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket
sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected.

Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and
test program.

Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2

While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e91 (net: No more
expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older
(2.6.12-rc5)

A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c3a
(ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a
socket) to ipv6 as well.

21dc330157 net: Rename skb_has_frags to skb_has_frag_list
SKBs can be "fragmented" in two ways, via a page array (called
skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]) and via a list of SKBs (called
skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list).

Since skb_has_frags() tests the latter, it's name is confusing
since it sounds more like it's testing the former.

d8d1f30b95 net-next: remove useless union keyword
remove useless union keyword in rtable, rt6_info and dn_route.

Since there is only one member in a union, the union keyword isn't useful.

0aa6827151 ipv6: Add GSO support on forwarding path
Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path.
This patch fixes this.

Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g.,
IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether,
when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead.

I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment
the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message.  Someone
should add that to be 100% correct.

d1db275dd3 ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".

Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg
devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for
compatibility reasons.

Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.

Example usage:

- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:

uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));

- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:

# ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

83d7eb2979 ipv6: cleanup: remove unneeded null check
We dereference "sk" unconditionally elsewhere in the function.  

This was left over from:  b30bd282 "ip6_xmit: remove unnecessary NULL
ptr check".  According to that commit message, "the sk argument to 
ip6_xmit is never NULL nowadays since the skb->priority assigment 
expects a valid socket."

4b340ae20d IPv6: Complete IPV6_DONTFRAG support
Finally add support to detect a local IPV6_DONTFRAG event
and return the relevant data to the user if they've enabled
IPV6_RECVPATHMTU on the socket.  The next recvmsg() will
return no data, but have an IPV6_PATHMTU as ancillary data.
