When issueing the sending of the next fragment the current version of
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` doesn't check if the queue is full. This leads to
leakage of the packet buffer, since when it is full, the package never
gets released.
This change adds a checks and error exits in case the queue is full.
Since the recursion into `gnrc_ipv6_demux()` was removed in
`gnrc_ipv6_ext`, `gnrc_ipv6.c` is the only user of this function,
so it can be made private. It was only made public so it can be used
from `gnrc_ipv6_ext`.
As `pkt` isn't pre-parsed the write-protection of *the whole* packet
(except the netif-header) comes for free, when this was done in the
receive routine of IPv6.
Since with #10233 we now assume IPv6 packets always to not be
pre-parsed, we can iterate over the extension headers by gradually
"eating" them away. This allows us to move the iteration over them
out of `gnrc_ipv6_ext_demux()` and into `gnrc_ipv6_demux()`.
By moving the iteration over all extension headers out of
`gnrc_ipv6_ext_demux()` we also can
1. simplify the extension header handling a lot, as it now
just a loop inside `gnrc_ipv6_demux()`,
2. remove the recursion to `gnrc_ipv6_demux()` within
`gnrc_ipv6_ext_demux()`.
Since the packet is now guaranteed to be preparsed, the currently
handled IPv6 header will always be in the first snip. Because of this
the packet parser can't get confused anymore which IPv6 header is the
one to be handled so we don't need to remove the more outer ones.
Because of this we can just use the normal packet dispatching (which is
already used by other `GNRC_NETTYPE_*`-known protocol numbers such as
UDP).
This also reverts d54ac38f84.
Though this change might seem more complicated, it has the benefit, that
after #9484 we don't have to assume that a received packet within IPv6's
receive function can be handed to the function pre-parsed, making that
function far less complicated (will be provided in a future PR).
Also this might give the forwarding via routing header a little
performance boost, as we now don't *receive* the packet first only to
forward it later-on.
The inclusion of `net/gnrc.h` in `net/gnrc/mac/types.h` header makes it
impossible to include the `net/gnrc/netif.h` header within
`net/gnrc/netif/hdr.h`, due to `net/gnrc/mac/types.h` being included
with `net/gnrc/netif/mac.h` (which is included in `net/gnrc/netif.h`)
While it is an edge case in our configuration it is technically
possible for a (6Lo) router not to maintain an address resolution state
machine. This fix allows for that with the `gnrc_ndp` module.
Check for:
- if it exists (critical error condition -- non-IPv6 headers should
not trigger these functions) => assert
- if it has a multicast source (that shouldn't really happen but
people might try weird stuff ;-)
- if it has an unspecified source (can't determine receiver of error
message => don't send it, don't build it)
sock_[udp|ip]_recv returns `pkt->size` after pkt was released via `gnrc_pktbuf_release(pkt)`.
This can result in wrong values returned by this functions and thus is not according to its sepecification.
Storing this values before releasing pkt returning the stored values should fix this.
Without this the first packet to a new link-local address will not be
delivered in non-6Lo environments, since the interface is not provided.
With this change, if an internet was provided to the address resolver it
will be stored within an allocated `gnrc_netif_hdr_t`.
At this point [IPv6 already striped](netif strip) the packet of its
netif header, so there is no risk that there will be to, in case it was
provided and the `netif` came from its existence.
`_decapsulate()` is called by callees of `_receive()` so the call to
the latter function within the first creates a recursion we don't want.
Using `gnrc_netapi` instead removes that and provides the added benefit
that other subscribers to IPv6 are also informed.
Adds a gnrc_netif specific rawmode flag to indicate that the netdev
device is configured in raw mode. This flag is kept in sync with a
possible flag in the netdev device and should only be modified via the
setter call.
gnrc_sock_recv used to duplicate functionality of gnrc_ipv6_get_header,
but additionally checked whether the IPv6 snip is large enough.
All checks are now included in gnrc_ipv6_get_header, but as most of them
stem from programming / user errors, they were moved into asserts; this
constitutes an API change.
Our `gnrc_minimal` example configures the link-local address from the
IEEE 802.15.4 short address since it does not include 6Lo-ND.
This causes the application to be incompatible with our other GNRC
application that do include 6Lo-ND, since it [assumes][1] the link-local
address to be based on the EUI-64 for address resolution.
This enforces long addresses (aka EUI-64) for all IEEE 802.15.4 devices
when IPv6 is compiled in so `gnrc_minimal` is compatible again to the
rest.

Currently the length of the full ICMPv6 packet is passed to the
validator function causing validation failures on valid packets. This
fixes that by passing the length of remaining RPL options of the packet.
The code originally assumed that the location of DIS struct is directly
after the ICMPv6 struct. This is not necessarily true when both structs
are individually allocated by pktbuf. This commit fixes this issue by
directly accessing the location of the DIS struct.
Linux doesn't have ARO support at the moment so this is a workaround to
try to speak 6Lo-ND while still being able to do DAD with a border
router that doesn't.
UDP port 0 is reserved for system usage, e.g., to tell the OS to
set a random source port. Hence, neither source nor destination
port should be 0 when transmitting. This PR adds proper asserts.
While `tmp` in the loop for write-protection for the check-sum
calculation is used to check the return value of
`gnrc_pktbuf_start_write()`, it was never overwriting `payload` causing
the original snip to be used in the following iteration `prev` when
duplicated, and destroying the sanity of `ipv6`.
This refactors reception/decoding part of `gnrc_sixlowpan_iphc` to the
more layered approach modeled in #8511. Since the reception part is
already complicated enough I decided to divide send and receive up into
separate changes.
This refactors sending/encoding part of `gnrc_sixlowpan_iphc` to the
more layered approach modeled in #8511. Since the reception part is
already was pretty complicated to refactor, I decided to divide send
and receive up into separate changes.
This will be used in the IPHC refactoring to control the reassembly
buffer as a context.
I also adapted the name of `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_gc_rbuf()` to be in
line with the rest of the newer functions.
On a NETOPT_STATE set call with NETOPT_STATE_RESET the netdev device
resets the callback event flags. This requires that after the netdev
device resets, the network stack also reapplies these callback event
flags
This change is a gnrc_ipv6_nib/gnrc_netif(2)-based rework of #7210.
Packet duplication
==================
Its main optimization is that it restructures `gnrc_ipv6` handling of
sent packets so that duplication for write-protection happens at the
latest possible step:
* potential `gnrc_netif` headers added by upper layers are
write-protected before their removal
* This unifies the duplication of the IPv6 header directly after
that
* Extension headers in-between the IPv6 header and the payload header
are duplicated just before the check sum is duplicated
Especially the last point allows for only handing a single packet snip
to all lower functions instead of an already searched IPv6 header
(which now is always the first until it is handed to the interface) +
payload header.
Further clean-ups
=================
* Next-hop link-layer address determination was moved to the
`_send_unicast` function, greatly simplifying the unicast case in the
`_send` function
* Code for loopback case was added to a new function `_send_to_self`
* Removed some code duplication
While refactoring IPHC I noticed that the page actually can already be
used for fragmentation: Given @cgundogan's work on [ICN LoWPAN] we can
already assume, that the page context may (among other thing) determine
the type of the reassembled packet. This PR provides the basis for
that.

While the current approach for garbage collection in the 6Lo reassembly
buffer is good for best-effort handling of
*fragmented* packets and nicely RAM saving, it has the problem that
incomplete, huge datagrams can basically DoS a node, if no further
fragmented datagram is received for a while (since the packet buffer is
full and GC is not triggered).
This change adds a asynchronous GC (utilizing the existing
functionality) to the reassembly buffer, so that even if there is no new
fragmented packet received, fragments older than `RBUF_TIMEOUT` will be
removed from the reassembly buffer, freeing up the otherwise wasted
packet buffer space.
Since IPHC also manipulates the total number of bytes of a received
datagram (by decompressing it), this also needs to be exposed. I guess
I was too focused on introducing a *generic* packet buffer for a future
virtual reassembly buffer (where it isn't needed, but so isn't `pkt` to
be honest), that I totally forgot about it in #9352.
This fixes an alignment issue I encountered in the static version of
the packet buffer.
The bug is caused by a race-condition where a certain order of
operations leads to a chunk being released according to the
byte-alignment of the platform, but overlapping potential space for
a future `_unused_t` struct e.g. (x mark allocated regions):
Future leak of size sizeof(_unused_t) Time

Sadly, I wasn't able to create a reproducable unittest that show-cases
this corner-case, since I don't understand the order of operations that
cause this one 100%, but the bug is reproducable (but also not
reliably) by sending large (i.e. fragmented) packets to a 6Lo-enabled
host from more than 1 host simultaneously (use `gnrc_pktbuf_cmd` to
check).
By making the size of `_unused_t` the only condition for alignment,
this bug is fixed.
This refactors the `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` module for the API proposed
in #8511.
The `ctx` for `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_send()` is required to be a
`gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` object, so IPHC can later on use it to
provide the *original* datagram size (otherwise, we would need to adapt
the API just for that, which seems to me as convoluted as this
proposal).
I also provide an expose function with a future possibility to provide
more than just one `gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` object later on (plus
having cleaner module separation in general).
While working on #9352 I noticed that the order of members in the
`gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t` struct costs us 4 bytes in RAM due to byte
alignment. This PR fixes the order of members, so they are the most
packed.
This exposes the parts of the reassembly buffer to be usable as context
as proposed in #8511.
I only exposed *parts of* for two reasons:
1. I don't need to expose further types (like `rbuf_int_t`), that are
not of interest outside of fragmentation.
2. This allows for an easy future extension for the virtual reassembly
buffer as proposed in [[1]].
This makes this change a little bit more involved, because instead of
just renaming the type, I also need to add the usage of the `super`
member, but I think in the end this little preparation work will be
beneficial in the future.

Otherwise, it may happen that `::` or a global address is chosen by
the IPv6 header fill function. Both types of addresses are
[not valid for RAs](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-4.2)
Parts of [RFC4862] were already implemented when NDP via the NIB was
first implemented. This change just includes the DAD portion of
[RFC4862]. This should be enough to make RIOT fully RFC4862 compliant.
