Merge branch 'ipv6-defrag-rbtree'
Peter Oskolkov says: ==================== net: IP defrag: use rbtrees in IPv6 defragmentation Currently, IPv6 defragmentation code drops non-last fragments that are smaller than 1280 bytes: see commit 0ed4229b ("ipv6: defrag: drop non-last frags smaller than min mtu") This behavior is not specified in IPv6 RFCs and appears to break compatibility with some IPv6 implementations, as reported here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg543846.html This patchset contains four patches: - patch 1 moves rbtree-related code from IPv4 to files shared b/w IPv4/IPv6 - patch 2 changes IPv6 defragmenation code to use rbtrees for defrag queue - patch 3 changes nf_conntrack IPv6 defragmentation code to use rbtrees - patch 4 changes ip_defrag selftest to test changes made in the previous three patches. Along the way, the 1280-byte restrictions are removed. I plan to introduce similar changes to 6lowpan defragmentation code once I figure out how to test it. ==================== Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
