Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 31/53] neighbor: fix proxy_delay usage when it is zero
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 09:44:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230226144446.824580-31-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230226144446.824580-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Brian Haley <haleyb.dev@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 62e395f82d04510b0f86e5e603e29412be88596f ]

When set to zero, the neighbor sysctl proxy_delay value
does not cause an immediate reply for ARP/ND requests
as expected, it instead causes a random delay between
[0, U32_MAX). Looking at this comment from
__get_random_u32_below() explains the reason:

/*
 * This function is technically undefined for ceil == 0, and in fact
 * for the non-underscored constant version in the header, we build bug
 * on that. But for the non-constant case, it's convenient to have that
 * evaluate to being a straight call to get_random_u32(), so that
 * get_random_u32_inclusive() can work over its whole range without
 * undefined behavior.
 */

Added helper function that does not call get_random_u32_below()
if proxy_delay is zero and just uses the current value of
jiffies instead, causing pneigh_enqueue() to respond
immediately.

Also added definition of proxy_delay to ip-sysctl.txt since
it was missing.
