ipv6: Fix fib6_dump_table walker leak

2009-01-14T06:17:51+00:00

When a fib6 table dump is prematurely ended, we won't unlink
its walker from the list.  This causes all sorts of grief for
other users of the list later.

netfilter 06/09: nf_conntrack: fix ICMP/ICMPv6 timeout sysctls on big-endian

2009-01-13T05:18:35+00:00

An old bug crept back into the ICMP/ICMPv6 conntrack protocols: the timeout
values are defined as unsigned longs, the sysctl's maxsize is set to
sizeof(unsigned int). Use unsigned int for the timeout values as in the
other conntrack protocols.

tcp6: Add GRO support

2009-01-08T18:41:23+00:00

This patch adds GRO support for TCP over IPv6.  The code is exactly
the same as the IPv4 version except for the pseudo-header checksum
computation.

Note that I've removed the unused tcphdr argument from tcp_v6_check
rather than invent a bogus value for GRO.

ipv6: Add GRO support

2009-01-08T18:40:57+00:00

This patch adds GRO support for IPv6.  IPv6 GRO supports extension
headers in the same way as GSO (by using the same infrastructure).
It's also simpler compared to IPv4 since we no longer have to worry
about fragmentation attributes or header checksums.

ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.

2009-01-05T00:04:39+00:00

Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.

The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up.  If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.

IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).

So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.
