commit f8d20b46ce55cf40afb30dcef6d9288f7ef46d9b upstream.

The similar fix in patch 'ipip: only increase err_count for some
certain type icmp in ipip_err' is needed for ip6gre_err.

In Jianlin's case, udp netperf broke even when receiving a TooBig
icmpv6 packet.

<title>ip6_gre: Reduce log level in ip6gre_err() to debug</title>

commit a46496ce38eeb401344d5623c1960dbf2f1769be upstream.

Currently error log messages in ip6gre_err are printed at 'warn'
level. This is different to most other tunnel types which don't
print any messages. These log messages don't provide any information
that couldn't be deduced with networking tools. Also it can be annoying
to have one end of the tunnel go down and have the logs fill with
pointless messages such as "Path to destination invalid or inactive!".

This patch reduces the log level of these messages to 'dbg' level to
bring the visible behaviour into line with other tunnel types.

<title>ip6_gre: skb_push ipv6hdr before packing the header in ip6gre_header</title>

commit 76cc0d3282d4b933fa144fa41fbc5318e0fdca24 upstream.

Now in ip6gre_header before packing the ipv6 header, it skb_push t-&gt;hlen
which only includes encap_hlen + tun_hlen. It means greh and inner header
would be over written by ipv6 stuff and ipv6h might have no chance to set
up.

Jianlin found this issue when using remote any on ip6_gre, the packets he
captured on gre dev are truncated:

22:50:26.210866 Out ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 120: truncated-ip6 -\
8128 bytes missing!(flowlabel 0x92f40, hlim 0, next-header Options (0)  \
payload length: 8192) ::1:2000:0 &gt; ::1:0:86dd: HBH [trunc] ip-proto-128 \
8184

It should also skb_push ipv6hdr so that ipv6h points to the right position
to set ipv6 stuff up.

This patch is to skb_push hlen + sizeof(*ipv6h) and also fix some indents
in ip6gre_header.

commit ba1cc08d9488c94cb8d94f545305688b72a2a300 upstream.

fib6_net_exit only frees the main and local tables. If another table was
created with fib6_alloc_table, we leak it when the netns is destroyed.

Fix this in the same way ip_fib_net_exit cleans up tables, by walking
through the whole hashtable of fib6_table's. We can get rid of the
special cases for local and main, since they're also part of the
hashtable.

Reproducer:
    ip netns add x
    ip -net x -6 rule add from 6003:1::/64 table 100
    ip netns del x

commit c1f866767777d1c6abae0ec57effffcb72017c00 upstream.

More recent GCC warns about two kinds of switch statement uses:

1) Switching on an enumeration, but not having an explicit case
   statement for all members of the enumeration.  To show the
   compiler this is intentional, we simply add a default case
   with nothing more than a break statement.

2) Switching on a boolean value.  I think this warning is dumb
   but nevertheless you get it wholesale with -Wswitch.

This patch cures all such warnings in netfilter.

<title>ipv6: fix sparse warning on rt6i_node</title>

commit 4e587ea71bf924f7dac621f1351653bd41e446cb upstream.

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt-&gt;rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

commit 4e587ea71bf924f7dac621f1351653bd41e446cb upstream.

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt-&gt;rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

commit 3614364527daa870264f6dde77f02853cdecd02c upstream.

rt_cookie might be used uninitialized, fix this by
initializing it.

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.
