      netpoll: Introduce netpoll_carrier_timeout kernel option · bff38771
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      
      Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and
      auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time.
      
      It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs,
      so let's introduce a kernel command line option.
      
      Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be
      changed in runtime.

      It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
      and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
      also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
      configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.
      
      It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
      resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
      so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
      of a minimally longer searching.
      
      This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root
      node settings", commit: 965ffea4 from
      v2.6.22.

      According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
      increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
      there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
      improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
      patch resets to safer defaults.

      Luciano Coelho authored
      
      If rix is not found in mi->r[], i will become -1 after the loop.  This value
      is eventually used to access arrays, so we were accessing arrays with a
      negative index, which is obviously not what we want to do.  This patch fixes
      this potential problem.

      ipv6: correct return on ipv6_rcv() packet drop · 5c91face
      Mark Smith authored
      
      The routine ipv6_rcv() uses magic number 0 for a return when it drops a
      packet. This corresponds to NET_RX_SUCCESS, which is obviously
      incorrect. Correct this by using NET_RX_DROP instead.
      
      ps. It isn't exactly clear who the IPv6 maintainers are, apologies if
      I've missed any.

      IPv6: preferred lifetime of address not getting updated · a1ed0526
      Brian Haley authored
      
      There's a bug in addrconf_prefix_rcv() where it won't update the
      preferred lifetime of an IPv6 address if the current valid lifetime
      of the address is less than 2 hours (the minimum value in the RA).
      
      For example, If I send a router advertisement with a prefix that
      has valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 2 hours we'll build
      this address:
      
      3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
          inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic
             valid_lft 7175sec preferred_lft 7175sec
      
      If I then send the same prefix with valid lifetime = preferred
      lifetime = 0 it will be ignored since the minimum valid lifetime
      is 2 hours:
      
      3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
          inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic
             valid_lft 7161sec preferred_lft 7161sec
      
      But according to RFC 4862 we should always reset the preferred lifetime
      even if the valid lifetime is invalid, which would cause the address
      to immediately get deprecated.  So with this patch we'd see this:
      
      5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
          inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:21f:29ff:fe5a:ef04/64 scope global deprecated dynamic
             valid_lft 7163sec preferred_lft 0sec
      
      The comment winds-up being 5x the size of the code to fix the problem.
      
      Update the preferred lifetime of IPv6 addresses derived from a prefix
      info option in a router advertisement even if the valid lifetime in
      the option is invalid, as specified in RFC 4862 Section 5.5.3e.  Fixes
      an issue where an address will not immediately become deprecated.
