From 2574c86ce66c4032e5905d46601106ccc0c69676 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2018 19:13:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] kernel: backport ifconfig ioctl support for class e addresses Backport net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl While most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment, distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch. While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the open source code in the world shows the IN_whatever macros are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=65cab850f0eeaa9180bd2e10a231964f33743edf Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant --- ...ddress-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch | 79 +++++++++++++++++++ ...ddress-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch | 79 +++++++++++++++++++ ...ddress-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch | 79 +++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 237 insertions(+) create mode 100644 target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/095-Allow-class-e-address-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch create mode 100644 target/linux/generic/backport-4.19/095-Allow-class-e-address-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch create mode 100644 target/linux/generic/backport-4.9/095-Allow-class-e-address-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch diff --git a/target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/095-Allow-class-e-address-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch b/target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/095-Allow-class-e-address-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fec083dadb --- /dev/null +++ b/target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/095-Allow-class-e-address-assignment-via-ifconfig-ioctl.patch @@ -0,0 +1,79 @@ +From 46bf067870156abd61fe24d14c2486d15b8b502c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 +From: Dave Taht +Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2018 18:38:40 +0000 +Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Allow class-e address assignment in ifconfig and early + boot + +While the linux kernel became mostly "class-e clean" a decade ago, +and most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite +of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment, +distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of +ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch. + +With this patch, also, a boot command line on these addresses is feasible: +(ip=248.0.1.2::248.0.1.1:255.255.255.0). + +While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the +userspace open source code in the world shows most IN_whatever macros +are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, +this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely. + +H/T to Vince Fuller and his original patch here: + https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/7/370 + +Signed-off-by: Dave Taht +Reviewed-by: John Gilmore +--- + include/uapi/linux/in.h | 8 ++++++-- + net/ipv4/devinet.c | 4 +++- + net/ipv4/ipconfig.c | 2 ++ + 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) + +--- a/include/uapi/linux/in.h ++++ b/include/uapi/linux/in.h +@@ -268,8 +268,12 @@ struct sockaddr_in { + #define IN_MULTICAST(a) IN_CLASSD(a) + #define IN_MULTICAST_NET 0xF0000000 + +-#define IN_EXPERIMENTAL(a) ((((long int) (a)) & 0xf0000000) == 0xf0000000) +-#define IN_BADCLASS(a) IN_EXPERIMENTAL((a)) ++#define IN_BADCLASS(a) ((((long int) (a) ) == 0xffffffff) ++#define IN_EXPERIMENTAL(a) IN_BADCLASS((a)) ++ ++#define IN_CLASSE(a) ((((long int) (a)) & 0xf0000000) == 0xf0000000) ++#define IN_CLASSE_NET 0xffffffff ++#define IN_CLASSE_NSHIFT 0 + + /* Address to accept any incoming messages. */ + #define INADDR_ANY ((unsigned long int) 0x00000000) +--- a/net/ipv4/devinet.c ++++ b/net/ipv4/devinet.c +@@ -921,7 +921,7 @@ static int inet_abc_len(__be32 addr) + { + int rc = -1;
