net: Build IPv6 into kernel by default This patch makes the default to build IPv6 into the kernel. IPv6 now has significant traction and any remaining vestiges of IPv6 not being provided parity with IPv4 should be swept away. IPv6 is now core to the Internet and kernel. Points on IPv6 adoption: - Per Google statistics, IPv6 usage has reached 7% on the Internet and continues to exhibit an exponential growth rate https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html - Just a few days ago ARIN officially depleted its IPv4 pool - IPv6 only data centers are being successfully built (e.g. at Facebook) This patch changes the IPv6 Kconfig for IPV6. Default for CONFIG_IPV6 is set to "y" and the text has been updated to reflect the maturity of IPv6. Impact: Under some circumstances building modules in to kernel might have a performance advantage. In my testing, I did notice a very slight improvement. This will obviously increase the size of the kernel image. In my configuration I see: IPv6 as module: text data bss dec hex filename 9703666 1899288 933888 12536842 bf4c0a vmlinux IPv6 built into kernel text data bss dec hex filename 9436490 1879600 913408 12229498 ba9b7a vmlinux Which increases text size by ~270K (2.8% increase in size for me). If image size is an issue, presumably for a device which does not do IP networking (IMO we should be discouraging IPv4-only devices), IPV6 can be disabled or still built as a module.

[INET]: Introduce tunnel4/tunnel6 Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c and tunnel6 respectively. The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is that when we removed the dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module case at all. For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load. After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part of xfrm4_tunnel. This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem. This is still preserved by this patch. So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles the arbitration between the two. The order of processing is determined by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before xfrm4_tunnel. The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since we may not have enough information to determine who it's for. It's not a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically no-ops. In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching in general. The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig prompts. This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP as it stands. The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since module dependency will cause them to be loaded. Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this patch to skb's. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without

IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
entity ("where").
ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
"ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
