[ Upstream commit dbd40f318cf2f59759bd170c401adc20ba360a3e ]

Since commit 63ed8de4be81 ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting
per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected
by inet6_dev-&gt;mc_lock.

RTNL is unnecessary in terms of protection but still needed for
synchronisation between addrconf_ifdown() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Once we removed RTNL, there would be a race below, where we could
add a multicast address to a dead inet6_dev.

  CPU1                            CPU2
  ====                            ====
  addrconf_ifdown()               __ipv6_dev_mc_inc()
                                    if (idev-&gt;dead) &lt;-- false
    dead = true                       return -ENODEV;
    ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down()
      mutex_lock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
      ...
      mutex_unlock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
                                    mutex_lock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
                                    ...
                                    mutex_unlock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)

The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev-&gt;dead
under inet6_dev-&gt;mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown()
will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead.

Let's check inet6_dev-&gt;dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and
we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above
addrconf_join_solict().

[ Upstream commit d45cf1e7d7180256e17c9ce88e32e8061a7887fe ]

syzbot was able to craft a packet with very long IPv6 extension headers
leading to an overflow of skb-&gt;transport_header.

This 16bit field has a limited range.

Add skb_reset_transport_header_careful() helper and use it
from ipv6_gso_segment()

fib6_info_uses_dev() seems to rely on RCU without an explicit
protection.

Like the prior fix in rt6_nlmsg_size(),
we need to make sure fib6_del_route() or fib6_add_rt2node()
have not removed the anchor from the list, or we risk an infinite loop.

[ Upstream commit 54e6fe9dd3b0e7c481c2228782c9494d653546da ]

While testing prior patch, I was able to trigger
an infinite loop in rt6_nlmsg_size() in the following place:

list_for_each_entry_rcu(sibling, &amp;f6i-&gt;fib6_siblings,
			fib6_siblings) {
	rt6_nh_nlmsg_size(sibling-&gt;fib6_nh, &amp;nexthop_len);
}

This is because fib6_del_route() and fib6_add_rt2node()
uses list_del_rcu(), which can confuse rcu readers,
because they might no longer see the head of the list.

Restart the loop if f6i-&gt;fib6_nsiblings is zero.

[ Upstream commit 3365afd3abda5f6a54f4a822dad5c9314e94c3fc ]

The netfilter hook is invoked with skb-&gt;dev for input netdevice, and
vif_dev for output netdevice. However at the point of invocation, skb-&gt;dev
is already set to vif_dev, and MR-forwarded packets are reported with
in=out:

 # ip6tables -A FORWARD -j LOG --log-prefix '[forw]'
 # cd tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding
 # ./router_multicast.sh
 # dmesg | fgrep '[forw]'
 [ 1670.248245] [forw]IN=v5 OUT=v5 [...]

For reference, IPv4 MR code shows in and out as appropriate.
Fix by caching skb-&gt;dev and using the updated value for output netdev.

<title>xfrm: Set transport header to fix UDP GRO handling</title>

[ Upstream commit 3ac9e29211fa2df5539ba0d742c8fe9fe95fdc79 ]

The referenced commit replaced a call to __xfrm4|6_udp_encap_rcv() with
a custom check for non-ESP markers.  But what the called function also
did was setting the transport header to the ESP header.  The function
that follows, esp4|6_gro_receive(), relies on that being set when it calls
xfrm_parse_spi().  We have to set the full offset as the skb's head was
not moved yet so adding just the UDP header length won't work.

pmc-&gt;idev is still used in ip6_mc_clear_src(), so as mld_clear_delrec()
does, the reference should be put after ip6_mc_clear_src() return.

commit 4e914ef063de40397e25a025c70d9737a9e45a8c upstream.

Use addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in
addrconf_gre_config() so that we don't just get the inet6_dev, but also
install the default ff00::/8 multicast route.

Before commit 3e6a0243ff00 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address
generation."), the multicast route was created at the end of the
function by addrconf_add_mroute(). But this code path is now only taken
in one particular case (gre devices not bound to a local IP address and
in EUI64 mode). For all other cases, the function exits early and
addrconf_add_mroute() is not called anymore.

Using addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in
addrconf_gre_config(), fixes the problem as it will create the default
multicast route for all gre devices. This also brings
addrconf_gre_config() a bit closer to the normal netdevice IPv6
configuration code (addrconf_dev_config()).
