I still wonder how source address selection should work for
IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR if use_tempaddr != 2 mode is not available for
those addresses.

Up until now applications can bind to those addresses and traffic can be
received for them, but there is now way how a user can specify to favor them
in case of use_tempaddr == 0.

Greetings,

  Hannes

I'm not sure I understand you. Can you please elaborate more? Not sure
how this is related to iproute2.

Anyway, the kernel behaviour wrt use_tempaddr settings remains unchanged
with the addition of IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR. It only allows to create temp
addresses for other addresses than the ones created by kernel (by RA).

Sorry, it is not related to this patch set at all but more to
IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR as a whole (maybe it could be a follow-up feature).

I assume that systems with NetworkManager won't activate use_tempaddr. If
you look at ipv6_get_saddr_eval we only prefer privacy addresses to
normal ones, if use_tempaddr == 2, which also implies that kernel does
generate privacy addresses.

So currently privacy addresses are correctly installed, but we cannot control
if we want prefer them to global addresses for outgoing connections where the
socket is not bound to a specific address.

Also, I saw that NetworkManager switched to install autoconf addresses
as /128, doesn't this break with IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR, as you expect a /64
prefixlen?

I guess NetworkManager wants a way to add /64 addresses without installing the
on-link prefix route?

Hope that makes sense?

Greetings,

  Hannes

Sure. NM should set use_tempaddr accordingly. You are right that kernel
generate temporary adresses, but only for the prefixes received via
neighbor discovery (see addrconf_prefix_rcv). The ones that are set by
hand are not handled. That is the reason we introduced IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR.

/64 is required

Ah, sorry. So NM sets use_tempaddr == 2 but disables accept_ra? That's fine,
sorry to bother!

Ok, currently NM seems to "violate" that as it installs autoconf addresses
with 128 prefixlen, so IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR should not work on them.
(currently observed on Fedora 20).

yes, that is the plan. use_tempaddr is to configure the preference for
address selection, and without accept_ra, the kernel will not add
autoconf addresses himself -- only NM adds them with
IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR. I think this will work out fine.

True, I noticed that too. I think that is a bug in NM to add the
addresses as /128. Probably, we will fix that soon.

The change could be valid. Otherwise currently NM could not correctly handle
prefix information in RAs in some cases:

It is possible to let the client generate an autonomously address in a
prefix which is actually not on-link (L=0). Kernel would automatically
create prefix route by mistake, if NM tries to install such an address
with /64 prefix. This does not happen if the prefix address uses 128
prefixlen.

Would be great to have feedback on this, as this could be easily solved by an
additional ifa_flag.

Hi Hannes,


good point. I think, the user-space application (NetworkManager) should
add the autoconf addresses as /64. But the kernel should not generate
any routes in that case. It's up to the application to add them
(depending on the on-link flag).


What do you think about something like:

I would introduce a new flag for that and also make it accessible via
iproute, maybe later. Otherwise IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR is overloaded and
doesn't do justice to its name. And since Jiri made new room in ifa_flags,
it shoud be no problem. ;)

Btw. while just reviewing anycast changes, I noticed a funny thing:
Kernel does allocate an anycast address which is the same as the autoconf
address, if NM installs /128 address and you have ipv6 forwarding enabled
(fedora 20 install + ipv6 forwarding because of libvirt). You can see the
addresses pop up in /proc/net/anycast6. I currenlty don't know if that
is problematic.  Everything seems to work here for me. ;)

In the end, I don't think we should install anycast for /128, but I am not
sure, yet.

[PATCH 1/1] ipv6 addrconf: add IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag to suppress creation of IP6 routes

[Thomas Haller]

When adding/modifying an IPv6 address, the userspace application needs
a way to suppress adding a prefix route. This is for example relevant
together with IFA_F_MANAGERTEMPADDR, where userspace creates autoconf
generated addresses, but depending on on-link, no route should for the
prefix should be added.

This flag will not be set as ifa_flags of the address, it is only
considered as parameter while adding/modifying an address.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Haller <thaller@redhat.com>

 Hi, how about this?

 The flag is only a parameter for the netlink command.
 This might be unexpected, because when adding an address,
 you won't see the flag in `ip -6 addr`.
 Still, I think, it is better to do it this way, because having
 an address with the NOPREFIXROUTE flag, does not mean, that
 there is no route for this prefix. It only means, that at the
 moment of setting the address, no route was added.

 The alternative would be, not to add a prefix route, when
 IFA_F_MANAGERTEMPADDR is set.

Looks good, maybe you could apply Jiri's feedback.

Otherwise we could skip trying to find a corresponding prefix route in
ipv6_del_addr. You would need to add the IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE test just before
the addrconf_get_prefix_route and ip6_del_rt.

Actually, if we switch from IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE to !IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE we
have to remove the prefix route, no?

hi Hannes,


I am about to resent the patch, so that IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE is saved in
the flags of the address. Later, when deleting such address, this is
used to indicate ~not~ to delete any prefix route... just as you suggest
in your earlier email (if I understood you right).

About this suggestion now, I tend to "no". Yes, it could be sensible, on
the other hand, if user space already controls the routes (as indicated
by it's use of IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTES), I would just leave it to the user
to clean up the wrong prefix route.

What do you think?

It is a matter of usability. As prefix routes are added to main routing
table and are visible via simple ip -6 r l (and not ip -6 r l table
something), I am fine with that, too.

[PATCH v2 2/2] ipv6 addrconf: don't cleanup route prefix for IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE

[Thomas Haller]

Refactor the deletion/update of route prefixes when removing an
address. Now, consider IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE and if there is an address
present with this flag, to not cleanup the prefix. Instead, assume
that userspace is taking care of this prefix.

Also, when adding the NOPREFIXROUTE flag to an already existing address,
check if there there is a prefix that was likly added by the kernel
and delete it.

Hmm, could you give a bit more details why you have done this? I find
that a bit counterintuitive. Maybe it has a reason?

Hi,

You find the behavior or the commit message counterintuitive? Didn't you
suggest this behavior in your email from "7 Jan 2014 13:01:11 +0100"?


For v3 I will reword the commit message. How about the following:

    ipv6 addrconf: don't cleanup prefix route for IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE
    
    Refactor the deletion/update of prefix routes when removing an
    address. Now, consider IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE and if there is an address
    present with this flag, to not cleanup the route. Instead, assume
    that userspace is taking care of this prefix.
    
    Also perform the same cleanup, when userspace changes an existing address
    to add NOPREFIXROUTE to an address that didn't have this flag. We do this
    because when the address was added, a prefix route was created for it.
    Since the user now wants to handle this route by himself, we remove it again.
    
    As before, a prefix route only gets removed, if there is no address
    that might need it. Or, if there are only non-permanent addresses,
    update the lifetime of the route.


ciao,
Thomas

I guess I was a bit confused, sorry. I think I confused the deleted and modify
case. However:

So we have the following changes on addresses:

add is simple: just as in the first patch

modify: is a bit hairy. To be extremly exact, we would have to recreate the
	route with proper metrics etc. so delete in any case and reinsert.
	I really dislike removing a route someone else might have inserted
	manually, and this is a likely scenario.

	Somehow I tend to just don't allow NOPREFIXROUTE on modify at all and
	just return a proper error value. What do you think? What would be the
	best behavior for NM?

delete: if IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE is set, we don't care about removing a prefix
	route, it must be set by user space and should get cleaned up by user
	space

If we want go with the current modify behavior this sounds good.

Hi,


I think, the modify case is not that hairy and the patch does IMO the
sensible thing:

case 1) "change NOPREFIXROUTE -> !NOPREFIXROUTE":
    update or add prefix route (as before);;
case 2) "change !NOPREFIXROUTE -> !NOPREFIXROUTE":
    update or add prefix route (as before);;
case 3) "change NOPREFIXROUTE -> NOPREFIXROUTE":
    ;;
case 4) "change !NOPREFIXROUTE -> NOPREFIXROUTE":
    cleanup prefix route;;

where "cleanup" means the same as done in ipv6_del_addr(), as determined
by check_cleanup_prefix_routes().


Allowing modify with case 2) and 3) is important. But for case 4) (and
possibly 1)), we could also fail with error. I tend to the scheme above
though because it makes it easier for userspace and is likely what it
wants.



The problem of deleting a route created by somebody else is already
present without this patch in ipv6_del_addr. This is indeed a bit shaky,
but I guess it's good enough in practice. Do I understand correctly,
that you think about to use the information from ifp->rt to ensure, that
what we really cleanup the correct route? If that's what you intend, can
you elaborate a bit on how to do that?


ciao,
Thomas

The ifp->rt thing, I thought of, does not work. It only holds the RTF_LOCAL
route (over loopback) which has nothing to do with the prefix route. We don't
have a link from ifp to the prefix route.

Currently I am fine with the semantics you described above but won't
have time to review them today. I'll do that tomorrow.

Thanks,

  Hannes

Maybe you could look into if a small patch implementing noprefixroute would be
doable. That would help testing these changes a lot. ;)
