The kernel is applying the RA managed/otherconf flags silently and
forgets to send ifinfo notify to inform about their change when the
router provides a zero reachable_time and retrans_timer as dnsmasq
and many routers send it, which just means unspecified by this router
and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using.
Userspace may monitor the ifinfo notifications to activate dhcpv6.

If output device wants to see the dst, inherit the dst of the original skb
in the ndisc request.

This is an IPv6 counterpart of commit 0accfc268f4d ("arp: Inherit metadata

<title>net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit</title>

Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.

<title>ipv6: flush nd cache on IFF_NOARP change</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch is the IPv6 equivalent of commit
6c8b4e3ff81b ("arp: flush arp cache on IFF_NOARP change")

Without it, we keep buggy neighbours in the cache, with destination
MAC address equal to our own MAC address.

Tested:
 tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 ip6 -n -e &amp;
 ip link set dev eth0 arp off
 ping6 remote   // sends buggy frames
 ip link set dev eth0 arp on
 ping6 remote   // should work once kernel is patched

<title>ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_dst and rt6i_src</title>

This patch removes the assumptions that the returned rt is always
a RTF_CACHE entry with the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src containing the
destination and source address.  The dst and src can be recovered from
the calling site.

We may consider to rename (rt6i_dst, rt6i_src) to
(rt6i_key_dst, rt6i_key_src) later.

<title>netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().</title>

<content type='text'>
On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb-&gt;sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb-&gt;sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

The TCP conflicts were overlapping changes.  In 'net' we added a
READ_ONCE() to the socket cached RX route read, whilst in 'net-next'
Eric Dumazet touched the surrounding code dealing with how mini
sockets are handled.

With USB, it's a case of the same bug fix first going into net-next
and then I cherry picked it back into net.

IP addresses are often stored in netlink attributes. Add generic functions
to do that.

For nla_put_in_addr, it would be nicer to pass struct in_addr but this is
not used universally throughout the kernel, in way too many places __be32 is
used to store IPv4 address.
