[ Upstream commit 5a1ccffd30a08f5a2428cd5fbb3ab03e8eb6c66d ]

The following patch will not set skb-&gt;sk from VRF path.

Let's fetch net from fib_rule-&gt;fr_net instead of sock_net(skb-&gt;sk)
in fib[46]_rule_configure().

<title>ipv6: fix memory leak in fib6_rule_suppress</title>

<id>ee38eb8cf9a7323884c2b8e0adbbeb2192d31e29</id>
<content type='text'>
commit cdef485217d30382f3bf6448c54b4401648fe3f1 upstream.

The kernel leaks memory when a `fib` rule is present in IPv6 nftables
firewall rules and a suppress_prefix rule is present in the IPv6 routing
rules (used by certain tools such as wg-quick). In such scenarios, every
incoming packet will leak an allocation in `ip6_dst_cache` slab cache.

After some hours of `bpftrace`-ing and source code reading, I tracked
down the issue to ca7a03c41753 ("ipv6: do not free rt if
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF is set on suppress rule").

The problem with that change is that the generic `args-&gt;flags` always have
`FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF` set[1][2] but the IPv6-specific flag
`RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF` might not be, leading to `fib6_rule_suppress` not
decreasing the refcount when needed.

How to reproduce:
 - Add the following nftables rule to a prerouting chain:
     meta nfproto ipv6 fib saddr . mark . iif oif missing drop
   This can be done with:
     sudo nft create table inet test
     sudo nft create chain inet test test_chain '{ type filter hook prerouting priority filter + 10; policy accept; }'
     sudo nft add rule inet test test_chain meta nfproto ipv6 fib saddr . mark . iif oif missing drop
 - Run:
     sudo ip -6 rule add table main suppress_prefixlength 0
 - Watch `sudo slabtop -o | grep ip6_dst_cache` to see memory usage increase
   with every incoming ipv6 packet.

This patch exposes the protocol-specific flags to the protocol
specific `suppress` function, and check the protocol-specific `flags`
argument for RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF instead of the generic
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF when decreasing the refcount, like this.

commit 213f5f8f31f10aa1e83187ae20fb7fa4e626b724 upstream.

Before commit faa041a40b9f ("ipv4: Create cleanup helper for fib_nh")
changes to net-&gt;ipv4.fib_num_tclassid_users were protected by RTNL.

After the change, this is no longer the case, as free_fib_info_rcu()
runs after rcu grace period, without rtnl being held.

<title>ipv4: Prepare for fib6_nh from a nexthop object</title>

Convert more IPv4 code to use fib_nh_common over fib_nh to enable routes
to use a fib6_nh based nexthop. In the end, only code not using a
nexthop object in a fib_info should directly access fib_nh in a fib_info
without checking the famiy and going through fib_nh_common. Those
functions will be marked when it is not directly evident.

<id>5481d73f81549e2a05cbbb49867a9a560c5292df</id>
<content type='text'>
Use helpers to access fib_nh and fib_nhs fields of a fib_info. Drop the
fib_dev macro which is an alias for the first nexthop. Replacements:

  fi-&gt;fib_dev    --&gt; fib_info_nh(fi, 0)-&gt;fib_nh_dev
  fi-&gt;fib_nh     --&gt; fib_info_nh(fi, 0)
  fi-&gt;fib_nh[i]  --&gt; fib_info_nh(fi, i)
  fi-&gt;fib_nhs    --&gt; fib_info_num_path(fi)

where fib_info_nh(fi, i) returns fi-&gt;fib_nh[nhsel] and fib_info_num_path
returns fi-&gt;fib_nhs.

Move the existing fib_info_nhc to nexthop.h and define the new ones
there. A later patch adds a check if a fib_info uses a nexthop object,
and defining the helpers in nexthop.h avoid circular header
dependencies.

After this all remaining open coded references to fi-&gt;fib_nhs and
fi-&gt;fib_nh are in:
- fib_create_info and helpers used to lookup an existing fib_info
  entry, and
- the netdev event functions fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up.

The latter two will not be reused for nexthops, and the fib_create_info
will be updated to handle a nexthop in a fib_info.

<content type='text'>
Dissect flow in fwd path if fib rules require it. Controlled by
a flag to avoid penatly for the common case. Flag is set when fib
rules with sport, dport and proto match that require flow dissect
are installed. Also passes the dissected hash keys to the multipath
hash function when applicable to avoid dissecting the flow again.
