5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jon Maxwell jmaxwell37@gmail.com
commit af6d10345ca76670c1b7c37799f0d5576ccef277 upstream.
In ip6_dst_gc() replace:
if (entries > gc_thresh)
With:
if (entries > ops->gc_thresh)
Sending Ipv6 packets in a loop via a raw socket triggers an issue where a route is cloned by ip6_rt_cache_alloc() for each packet sent. This quickly consumes the Ipv6 max_size threshold which defaults to 4096 resulting in these warnings:
[1] 99.187805] dst_alloc: 7728 callbacks suppressed [2] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size. . . [300] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size.
When this happens the packet is dropped and sendto() gets a network is unreachable error:
remaining pkt 200557 errno 101 remaining pkt 196462 errno 101 . . remaining pkt 126821 errno 101
Implement David Aherns suggestion to remove max_size check seeing that Ipv6 has a GC to manage memory usage. Ipv4 already does not check max_size.
Here are some memory comparisons for Ipv4 vs Ipv6 with the patch:
Test by running 5 instances of a program that sends UDP packets to a raw socket 5000000 times. Compare Ipv4 and Ipv6 performance with a similar program.
