Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] neighbor: fix proxy_delay usage when it is zero
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 14:51:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230125195114.596295-1-haleyb.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
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.
