      bonding: send arp requests even if there's no route to them · 28572760
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      Currently we're only sending arp requests if we have a route to the target
      (and, thus, can find out the source ip address).
      
      There are some use cases, however, where we don't want/need to set an ip
      address (or set up a specific route) for bonding to use arp monitoring *for
      traffic generation*. We can easily send arp probes (arp requests with src
      ip == 0) to generate arp broadcast responses from the target ip and use
      them for determining if the target is up.
      
      This, obviously, won't work with arp validation - because we don't have the
      ip address set and, thus, will filter out the responses. So in that case -
      print a warning.

      6lowpan: reimplementation of fragmentation handling
      
      this patch series reimplementation the fragmentation handling of 6lowpan
      accroding to rfc4944 [1].
      
      The first big note is, that the current fragmentation behaviour isn't rfc
      complaint. The main issue is a wrong datagram_size value which needs to be:
      datagram_size = ipv6_payload + ipv6 header + (maybe compressed transport header,
                      currently only udp is supported)
      
      but the current datagram_size value is calculated as:
      datagram_size = ipv6_payload
      
      Fragmentation work in a linux<->linux communication only.
      
      Why reimplementation?
      
      I reimplemted the reassembly side only. The current behaviour is to allocate a
      skb with the reassembled size and hold all fragments in a list, protected by a
      spinlock. After we received all fragments (detected by the sum of all fragments,
      it begins to place all fragments into the allocated skb).
      
      This reassembly implementation has some race condition. Additional I make it more
      rfc complaint. The current implementation match on the tag value inside the frag
      header only, but rfc4944 says we need to match on dst addr(mac), src addr(mac),
      tag value, datagram_size value. [2]
      
      The new reassembly handling use the inet_frag api (I mean the callback interface
      of ipv6 and ipv4 reassembly). I looked into ipv6 and wanted to see how ipv6 is
      dealing with reassembly, so I based my code on this implementation.
      
      On the sending side to generate the fragments I improved the current code to use
      the nearest 8 divided payload. (We can do that, because the mac layer has a
      dynamic size, so it depends on mac_header how big we can do the payload).
      
      Of course I fix also the reassembly/sending side to be rfc complaint now.

      changes since v2:
       - rework checkpatch code style issue patch.
         Merge two pr_debugs into one pr_debug.
      
      changes since v3:
       - rename 6lowpan.ko to 6lowpan_rtnl.c in commit msg of patch 5/8.
      
      changes since v4:
       - Add a new patch 2/8 to introduce lowpan_uncompress_size function. Also
         improving this function a little bit.
       - Add a new patch 4/8 to change tag value to __be16.
       - use skb_header_reset function on FRAG1 only, which should have the
         lowpan header. See lowpan_get_frag_info function. (slightly improving
         of fragmentation header parsing).
       - changes types of variables to u16 in lowpan_skb_fragmentation.
       - use lowpan_uncompress_size instead of storing necessary information
         in skb control block, this can be destroyed after dev_queue_xmit call.
         Thanks David for this hint.
       - remove Tested-by: Martin Townsend <martin.townsend@xsilon.com>, because
         too many funcionality change.
      
      changes since v5:
       - handle lowpan_addr_mode_size with lookup table.
      
      changes since v6:
       - remove unnecessary parameter in lowpan_frag_queue.
       - fix commit message in patch 8/8 which included a describtion of adding the
         lownpan_uncompress_size function. This was splitted in a seperate patch.

      6lowpan: handling 6lowpan fragmentation via inet_frag api · 7240cdec
      Alexander Aring authored
      This patch drops the current way of 6lowpan fragmentation on receiving
      side and replace it with a implementation which use the inet_frag api.
      The old fragmentation handling has some race conditions and isn't
      rfc4944 compatible. Also adding support to match fragments on
      destination address, source address, tag value and datagram_size
      which is missing in the current implementation.

      Alexander Aring authored
      This patch adds necessary ieee802154 6lowpan namespace to provide the
      inet_frag information. This is a initial support for handling 6lowpan
      fragmentation with the inet_frag api.

      6lowpan: move 6lowpan.c to 6lowpan_rtnl.c · 01348b34
      Alexander Aring authored
      We have a 6lowpan.c file and 6lowpan.ko file. To avoid confusing we
      should move 6lowpan.c to 6lowpan_rtnl.c. Then we can support multiple
      source files for 6lowpan module.

      6lowpan: fix fragmentation on sending side · 96cb3eb7
      Alexander Aring authored
      This patch fix the fragmentation on sending side according to rfc4944.
      
      Also add improvement to use the full payload of a PDU which calculate
      the nearest divided to 8 payload length for the fragmentation datagram
      size attribute.
      
      The main issue is that the datagram size of fragmentation header use the
      ipv6 payload length, but rfc4944 says it's the ipv6 payload length inclusive
      network header size (and transport header size if compressed).
