<content type='text'>
Based on a syzkaller report [1], I found that a per cpu allocation
failure in snmp6_alloc_dev() would then lead to NULL dereference in
ip6_route_dev_notify().

It seems this is a very old bug, thus no Fixes tag in this submission.

Let's add in6_dev_put_clear() helper, as we will probably use
it elsewhere (once available/present in net-next)

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be

a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free

<title>Ipvlan should return an error when an address is already in use.</title>

The ipvlan code already knows how to detect when a duplicate address is
about to be assigned to an ipvlan device.  However, that failure is not
propogated outward and leads to a silent failure.

Introduce a validation step at ip address creation time and allow device
drivers to register to validate the incoming ip addresses.  The ipvlan
code is the first consumer.  If it detects an address in use, we can
return an error to the user before beginning to commit the new ifa in
the networking code.

This can be especially useful if it is necessary to provision many
ipvlans in containers.  The provisioning software (or operator) can use
this to detect situations where an ip address is unexpectedly in use.

<title>ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf</title>

<id>242d3a49a2a1a71d8eb9f953db1bcaa9d698ce00</id>
<content type='text'>
For each netns (except init_net), we initialize its null entry
in 3 places:

1) The template itself, as we use kmemdup()
2) Code around dst_init_metrics() in ip6_route_net_init()
3) ip6_route_dev_notify(), which is supposed to initialize it after
   loopback registers

Unfortunately the last one still happens in a wrong order because
we expect to initialize net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_null_entry-&gt;rt6i_idev to
net-&gt;loopback_dev's idev, thus we have to do that after we add
idev to loopback. However, this notifier has priority == 0 same as
ipv6_dev_notf, and ipv6_dev_notf is registered after
ip6_route_dev_notifier so it is called actually after
ip6_route_dev_notifier. This is similar to commit 2f460933f58e
("ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()") which
fixes init_net.

Fix it by picking a smaller priority for ip6_route_dev_notifier.
Also, we have to release the refcnt accordingly when unregistering
loopback_dev because device exit functions are called before subsys
exit functions.

idev to loopback. However, this notifier has priority == 0 same as
ipv6_dev_notf, and ipv6_dev_notf is registered after
ip6_route_dev_notifier so it is called actually after
ip6_route_dev_notifier. This is similar to commit 2f460933f58e
("ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()") which
fixes init_net.

Fix it by picking a smaller priority for ip6_route_dev_notifier.
Also, we have to release the refcnt accordingly when unregistering
loopback_dev because device exit functions are called before subsys
exit functions.

This logic seems to be duplicated in (at least) three separate files.
Move it to one place so code can be re-use.

We pass these per-protocol equal functions around in various places, but
we can just have one function that checks the sk-&gt;sk_family and then do
the right comparison function.  I've also changed the ipv4 version to
not cast to inet_sock since it is unneeded.

<title>ipv6: fix a potential deadlock in do_ipv6_setsockopt()</title>

Baozeng reported this deadlock case:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock([  165.136033] sk_lock-AF_INET6);
                               lock([  165.136033] rtnl_mutex);
                               lock([  165.136033] sk_lock-AF_INET6);
  lock([  165.136033] rtnl_mutex);

Similar to commit 87e9f0315952
("ipv4: fix a potential deadlock in mcast getsockopt() path")
this is due to we still have a case, ipv6_sock_mc_close(),
where we acquire sk_lock before rtnl_lock. Close this deadlock
with the similar solution, that is always acquire rtnl lock first.

Fixes: baf606d9c9b1 ("ipv4,ipv6: grab rtnl before locking the socket")

<title>ipv6 addrconf: implement RFC7559 router solicitation backoff</title>

This implements:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7559

Backoff is performed according to RFC3315 section 14:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3315#section-14

We allow setting /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/router_solicitations
to a negative value meaning an unlimited number of retransmits,
and we make this the new default (inline with the RFC).

We also add a new setting:
  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/router_solicitation_max_interval
defaulting to 1 hour (per RFC recommendation).
