3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Martin KaFai Lau <ka...@fb.com>
commit 3b4711757d7903ab6fa88a9e7ab8901b8227da60 upstream.
ipv6_cow_metrics() currently assumes only DST_HOST routes require
dynamic metrics allocation from inetpeer. The assumption breaks
when ndisc discovered router with RTAX_MTU and RTAX_HOPLIMIT metric.
Refer to ndisc_router_discovery() in ndisc.c and note that dst_metric_set()
is called after the route is created.
This patch creates the metrics array (by calling dst_cow_metrics_generic) in
ipv6_cow_metrics().
Test:
radvd.conf:
interface qemubr0
{
AdvLinkMTU 1300;
AdvCurHopLimit 30;
prefix fd00:face:face:face::/64
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr off;
};
};
Before:
[root@qemu1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep -v unreachable
fd00:face:face:face::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 27sec
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256
default via fe80::74df:d0ff:fe23:8ef2 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 expires
27sec
After:
[root@qemu1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep -v unreachable
fd00:face:face:face::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 27sec mtu
1300
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1300
default via fe80::74df:d0ff:fe23:8ef2 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 expires
27sec mtu 1300 hoplimit 30
Fixes: 8e2ec639173f325 (ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.)
