Replace with globally

ipv4: add option to drop gratuitous ARP packets

2017-11-18T18:27:08+00:00

In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be ARP proxies that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests. To prevent gratuitous ARP frames on the shared medium from being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them. Enable this by providing an option called "drop_gratuitous_arp".

ipv4: add option to drop unicast encapsulated in L2 multicast

2017-11-18T18:27:06+00:00

In order to solve a problem with 802.11, the so-called hole-196 attack, add an option (sysctl) called "drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast" which, if enabled, causes the stack to drop IPv4 unicast packets encapsulated in link-layer multi- or broadcast frames. Such frames can (as an attack) be created by any member of the same wireless network and transmitted as valid encrypted frames since the symmetric key for broadcast frames is shared between all stations. Additionally, enabling this option provides compliance with a SHOULD clause of RFC 1122. Reviewed-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

net/ipv4: queue work on power efficient wq

2017-05-24T00:20:22+00:00

Workqueue used in ipv4 layer have no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that an idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions. This doesn't change existing behavior of code unless CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is enabled. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Pranav Vashi

ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work during inetdev destroy.

2016-11-17T11:11:46+00:00

When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface is removed. And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large: 1) Address promotion. We are deleting all addresses, so there is no point in doing this. 2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address. We only need to do this once, as is already caught by the existing masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this.
