bfeade0870 [NETNS][IPV6]: inet6_addr - check ipv6 address per namespace
When a new address is added, we must check if the new address does not

e0da5a480c [NETNS]: Create ipv6 devconf-s for namespaces
This is the core. Declare and register the pernet subsys for
addrconf. The init callback the will create the devconf-s.

The init_net will reuse the existing statically declared confs,
so that accessing them from inside the ipv6 code will still
work.

The register_pernet_subsys() is moved above the ipv6_add_dev()
call for loopback, because this function will need the

f52295a9c5 [IPV6]: Unify and cleanup calls to addrconf_sysctl_register
Currently this call is (ab)used similar to devinet one - it
registers sysctls for devices and for the "default" confs, while
the "all" sysctls are registered separately. But unlike its
devinet brother, the passed inet6_device is needed.

The fix is to make a __addrconf_sysctl_register(), which registers
sysctls for all "devices" we need, including "default" and "all" :)

The original addrconf_sysctl_register() calls the introduced
function, passing the inet6_device, device name and ifindex (to
be used as procname and ctl_name) into it.

Thanks to Herbert again for pointing out, that we can shrink the
argument list to 1 :)

d31c7b8fa3 [IPV6]: Restore IPv6 when MTU is big enough
Avaid provided test application, so bug got fixed.

IPv6 addrconf removes ipv6 inner device from netdev each time cmu

When mtu is changed and new value is greater than IPV6_MIN_MTU,
it does not add ipv6 addresses and inner device bac.

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

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

e9dc865340 [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.

To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

Currently if the link is brought down via ip link or ifconfig down,
the inet6addr_chain notifiers are not called even though all
the addresses are removed from the interface.  This caused SCTP
to add duplicate addresses to it's list.

dffe4f048b [IPV6]: Remove unneeded pointer idev from addrconf_cleanup().
This trivial patch removes the unneeded pointer idev returned from
__in6_dev_get(), which is never used. The check for NULL can be simply
done by if (__in6_dev_get(dev) == NULL).

59fbb3a61e [IPV6] MIP6: Loadable module support for MIPv6.
This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6".

Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically
when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6:

alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6
alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6

Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however,
it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec
or IPv6 with and without the patch.
We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt
separately for future work.

Loadable features:
* MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back)
* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for RO

These are NOT covered as loadable:
* Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection
* XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option)
* XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header
* MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application
  opens it (since raw socket allows to do so)
* RH2 sending as ancillary data
* RH2 operation with setsockopt(2)

c2edacf80e bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing).  This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave.  These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).

	This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself.  I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master.  This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.

	This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.

	The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag.  I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.

74235a25c6 [IPV6] addrconf: Fix IPv6 on tuntap tunnels
The recent patch that added ipv6_hwtype is broken on tuntap tunnels.
Indeed, it's broken on any device that does not pass the ipv6_hwtype
test.

The reason is that the original test only applies to autoconfiguration,
not IPv6 support.  IPv6 support is allowed on any device.  In fact,
even with the ipv6_hwtype patch applied you can still add IPv6 addresses
to any interface that doesn't pass thw ipv6_hwtype test provided that
they have a sufficiently large MTU.  This is a serious problem because
come deregistration time these devices won't be cleaned up properly.

I've gone back and looked at the rationale for the patch.  It appears
that the real problem is that we were creating IPv6 devices even if the
MTU was too small.  So here's a patch which fixes that and reverts the
ipv6_hwtype stuff.

Thanks to Kanru Chen for reporting this issue.
