| Subject: ipv6: icmp: remove obsolete code in icmpv6_xrlim_allow() |
| |
| From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> |
| |
| [ Upstream commit 0201eedb69b24a6be9b7c1716287a89c4dde2320 ] |
| |
| Following part was needed before the blamed commit, because |
| inet_getpeer_v6() second argument was the prefix. |
| |
| /* Give more bandwidth to wider prefixes. */ |
| if (rt->rt6i_dst.plen < 128) |
| tmo >>= ((128 - rt->rt6i_dst.plen)>>5); |
| |
| Now inet_getpeer_v6() retrieves hosts, we need to remove |
| @tmo adjustement or wider prefixes likes /24 allow 8x |
| more ICMP to be sent for a given ratelimit. |
| |
| As we had this issue for a while, this patch changes net.ipv6.icmp.ratelimit |
| default value from 1000ms to 100ms to avoid potential regressions. |
| |
| Also add a READ_ONCE() when reading net->ipv6.sysctl.icmpv6_time. |
| |
| Fixes: fd0273d7939f ("ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_dst and rt6i_src") |
