[PATCH v3 0/7] Prevent DAD for link-local addresses in containers

There's no point in letting a container perform duplicate address detection as we'll silently discard neighbour solicitations with unspecified source addresses anyway, without relaying them to anybody. And we realised that it's not harmless, see the whole discussion around https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/23561#discussion_r1711639663: we can't communicate with the container right away because of that, which is surely annoying for tests, but it could also be an issue for use cases with very short-lived containers or namespaces. Disabling DAD via procfs configuration would be simpler than all this, but we don't own the namespace (unless we spawn a shell), so we shouldn't mess up with procfs entries, assuming it's even possible. Set the nodad attribute, and prevent DAD from being triggered before on link up, before we can set that attribute. v3: - in 4/7, actually handle all the netlink responses for the case where we change multiple addresses v2: - in 4/7, instead of doing the whole nl_routes_dup()-vendored dance to keep addresses in a single buffer, send NLM_F_REPLACE requests right away, but use nlmsg_send() instead of nl_do(), and check for answers to our further requests later. Use warn() instead of die() if we can't set nodad attributes - in 5/7, make nl_addr_get_ll() get a pointer to struct in6_addr instead of a generic void pointer, and warn(), don't die(), if it fails Stefano Brivio (7): netlink: Fix typo in function comment for nl_addr_get() netlink, pasta: Split MTU setting functionality out of nl_link_up() netlink, pasta: Turn nl_link_up() into a generic function to set link flags netlink, pasta: Disable DAD for link-local addresses on namespace interface netlink, pasta: Fetch link-local address from namespace interface once it's up pasta: Disable neighbour solicitations on device up to prevent DAD netlink: Fix typo in function comment for nl_addr_set() netlink.c | 146 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- netlink.h | 6 ++- pasta.c | 29 ++++++++++- 3 files changed, 166 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0

New subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] netlink, pasta: Fetch link-local address from namespace interface once it's up

As soon as we bring up the interface, the Linux kernel will set up a link-local address for it, so we can fetch it and start using right away, if we need a link-local address to communicate to the container before we see any traffic coming from it.

New subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] pasta: Disable neighbour solicitations on device up to prevent DAD

As soon as we the kernel notifier for IPv6 address configuration (addrconf_notify()) sees that we bring the target interface up (NETDEV_UP), it will schedule duplicate address detection, so, by itself, setting the nodad flag later is useless, because that won't stop a detection that's already in progress. However, if we disable neighbour solicitations with IFF_NOARP (which is a misnomer for IPv6 interfaces, but there's no possibility of mixing things up), the notifier will not trigger DAD, because it can't be done, of course, without neighbour solicitations. Set IFF_NOARP as we bring up the device, and drop it after we had a chance to set the nodad attribute on the link.
