      ipv6: Make mc_forwarding sysctl read-only. · a4e6db07
      David S. Miller authored
      The kernel manages this value internally, as necessary, as
      VIFs are added/removed and as multicast routers are registered
      and deregistered.

      IPv6: Fix multicast routing bugs. · 1d6e55f1
      Thomas Goff authored
      This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described
      below.  It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing
      daemon against FreeBSD peers.
      
      net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:
      
        - Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets.
      
        - Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can
          be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly.
      
      net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:
      
        - Fix incoming PIM register messages processing:
      
          * The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM
            messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1).
      
          * Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have
            skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6.
      
        - Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding
          interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual
          interface.
      
        - Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling.
      
        - Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6
          multicast routing socket is opened/closed.
      
      net/ipv6/route.c:
      
        - Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM
          register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4
          case).
