commit c5cff8561d2d0006e972bd114afd51f082fee77c upstream.

We currently keep rt-&gt;rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt-&gt;rt6i_node, it could
potentially cause crashes as rt-&gt;rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
CPUs when doing a route deletion.
This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().

Note: there is no "Fixes" tag because this bug was there in a very
early stage.

commit 4ee39733fbecf04cf9f346de2d64788c35028079 upstream.

Anycast routes have the RTF_ANYCAST flag set, but when dumping routes
for userspace the route type is not set to RTN_ANYCAST. Make it so.

<title>ipmr, ip6mr: fix scheduling while atomic and a deadlock with ipmr_get_route</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2cf750704bb6d7ed8c7d732e071dd1bc890ea5e8 upstream.

Since the commit below the ipmr/ip6mr rtnl_unicast() code uses the portid
instead of the previous dst_pid which was copied from in_skb's portid.
Since the skb is new the portid is 0 at that point so the packets are sent
to the kernel and we get scheduling while atomic or a deadlock (depending
on where it happens) by trying to acquire rtnl two times.
Also since this is RTM_GETROUTE, it can be triggered by a normal user.

Here's the sleeping while atomic trace:

commit 49a18d86f66d33a20144ecb5a34bba0d1856b260 upstream.

As pointed out by Eric Dumazet, net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc should
hold the last time garbage collector was run so that we should
update it whenever fib6_run_gc() calls fib6_clean_all(), not only
if we got there from ip6_dst_gc().

commit 2ac3ac8f86f2fe065d746d9a9abaca867adec577 upstream.

On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.

This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.

Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

Reduce the attack vector and stop generating IPv6 Fragment Header for
paths with an MTU smaller than the minimum required IPv6 MTU
size (1280 byte) - called atomic fragments.

See IETF I-D "Deprecating the Generation of IPv6 Atomic Fragments" [1]
for more information and how this "feature" can be misused.

<title>ipv6: fix ipv6_cow_metrics for non DST_HOST case</title>

<id>e7b1def68f4d5c00c63c4f09a62048505a3b80e6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3b4711757d7903ab6fa88a9e7ab8901b8227da60 upstream.

ipv6_cow_metrics() currently assumes only DST_HOST routes require
dynamic metrics allocation from inetpeer.  The assumption breaks
when ndisc discovered router with RTAX_MTU and RTAX_HOPLIMIT metric.
Refer to ndisc_router_discovery() in ndisc.c and note that dst_metric_set()
is called after the route is created.

This patch creates the metrics array (by calling dst_cow_metrics_generic) in
ipv6_cow_metrics().

Test:
radvd.conf:
interface qemubr0
{
	AdvLinkMTU 1300;
	AdvCurHopLimit 30;

	prefix fd00:face:face:face::/64
	{
		AdvOnLink on;
		AdvAutonomous on;
		AdvRouterAddr off;
	};
};

Before:
[root@qemu1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep -v unreachable
fd00:face:face:face::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  expires 27sec
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
default via fe80::74df:d0ff:fe23:8ef2 dev eth0  proto ra  metric 1024  expires 27sec

After:
[root@qemu1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep -v unreachable
fd00:face:face:face::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  expires 27sec mtu 1300
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1300
default via fe80::74df:d0ff:fe23:8ef2 dev eth0  proto ra  metric 1024  expires 27sec mtu 1300 hoplimit 30

Fixes: 8e2ec639173f325 (ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.)

[ Upstream commit 30f78d8ebf7f514801e71b88a10c948275168518 ]

Francois reported that setting big mtu on loopback device could prevent
tcp sessions making progress.

We do not support (yet ?) IPv6 Jumbograms and cook corrupted packets.

We must limit the IPv6 MTU to (65535 + 40) bytes in theory.

Tested:

ifconfig lo mtu 70000
netperf -H ::1

Before patch : Throughput :   0.05 Mbits

After patch : Throughput : 35484 Mbits

commit c88507fbad8055297c1d1e21e599f46960cbee39 upstream.

DST_NOCOUNT should only be used if an authorized user adds routes
locally. In case of routes which are added on behalf of router
advertisments this flag must not get used as it allows an unlimited
number of routes getting added remotely.
