Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

<title>ah: Don't return NET_XMIT_DROP on input.</title>

commit 4b90a603a1b21d63cf743cc833680cb195a729f6 upstream.

When the ahash driver returns -EBUSY, AH4/6 input functions return
NET_XMIT_DROP, presumably copied from the output code path.  But
returning transmit codes on input doesn't make a lot of sense.
Since NET_XMIT_DROP is a positive int, this gets interpreted as
the next header type (i.e., success).  As that can only end badly,
remove the check.

commit b7ea81a58adc123a4e980cb0eff9eb5c144b5dc7 upstream.

The AH4/6 ahash input callbacks read out the nexthdr field from the AH
header *after* they overwrite that header.  This is obviously not going
to end well.  Fix it up.

commit 069294e813ed5f27f82613b027609bcda5f1b914 upstream.

The AH4/6 ahash output callbacks pass nexthdr to xfrm_output_resume
instead of the error code.  This appears to be a copy+paste error from
the input case, where nexthdr is expected.  This causes the driver to
continuously add AH headers to the datagram until either an allocation
fails and the packet is dropped or the ahash driver hits a synchronous
fallback and the resulting monstrosity is transmitted.

Correct this issue by simply passing the error code unadulterated.

<content type='text'>
commit 72b36015ba43a3cca5303f5534d2c3e1899eae29 upstream.

Same fix as 731abb9cb2 for ipip and sit tunnel.
Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in
ipip_tunnel_locate and ipip6_tunnel_locate, because register_netdevice
will now create a valid name, however the tunnel keeps a copy of the
name in the private parms structure. Fix this by copying the name back
after register_netdevice has successfully returned.

This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show:

$ sudo ip tunnel add mode ipip remote 10.2.20.211
$ ip tunnel
tunl0: ip/ip  remote any  local any  ttl inherit  nopmtudisc
tunl%d: ip/ip  remote 10.2.20.211  local any  ttl inherit
$ sudo ip tunnel add mode sit remote 10.2.20.212
$ ip tunnel

commit 731abb9cb27aef6013ce60808a04e04a545f3f4e upstream.

Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in ip6_tnl_create
because register_netdevice will now create a valid name.  This works for the
net_device itself.

However the tunnel keeps a copy of the name in the parms structure for the
ip6_tnl associated with the tunnel.  parms.name is set by copying the net_device
name in ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen.  That function is called from ip6_tnl_dev_init in
ip6_tnl_create, but it is done before register_netdevice is called so the name
is set to a bogus value in the parms.name structure.

This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show:

[root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel add remote fec0::100 local fec0::200
[root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel show
ip6tnl0: ipv6/ipv6 remote :: local :: encaplimit 0 hoplimit 0 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)
ip6tnl%d: ipv6/ipv6 remote fec0::100 local fec0::200 encaplimit 4 hoplimit 64 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)
[root@localhost ~]#

Fix this by moving the strcpy out of ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen, and calling it after
register_netdevice has successfully returned.

This patch fixes the issue caused by ef81bb40bf15f350fe865f31fa42f1082772a576
which is a backport of upstream 87c48fa3b4630905f98268dde838ee43626a060c. The
problem does not exist in upstream.

We do not check whether route is attached before trying to assign ip
identification through route dest which lead NULL pointer dereference. This
happens when host bridge transmit a packet from guest.

This patch changes ipv6_select_ident() to accept in6_addr as its paramter and
fix the issue by using the destination address in ipv6 header when no route is
attached.
