[ Upstream commit 242d3a49a2a1a71d8eb9f953db1bcaa9d698ce00 ]

For each netns (except init_net), we initialize its null entry
in 3 places:

1) The template itself, as we use kmemdup()
2) Code around dst_init_metrics() in ip6_route_net_init()
3) ip6_route_dev_notify(), which is supposed to initialize it after
   loopback registers

Unfortunately the last one still happens in a wrong order because
we expect to initialize net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_null_entry-&gt;rt6i_idev to
net-&gt;loopback_dev's idev, thus we have to do that after we add
idev to loopback. However, this notifier has priority == 0 same as
ipv6_dev_notf, and ipv6_dev_notf is registered after
ip6_route_dev_notifier so it is called actually after
ip6_route_dev_notifier. This is similar to commit 2f460933f58e
("ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()") which
fixes init_net.

Fix it by picking a smaller priority for ip6_route_dev_notifier.
Also, we have to release the refcnt accordingly when unregistering
loopback_dev because device exit functions are called before subsys
exit functions.

[ Upstream commit 2f460933f58eee3393aba64f0f6d14acb08d1724 ]

Andrey reported a crash on init_net.ipv6.ip6_null_entry-&gt;rt6i_idev
since it is always NULL.

This is clearly wrong, we have code to initialize it to loopback_dev,
unfortunately the order is still not correct.

loopback_dev is registered very early during boot, we lose a chance
to re-initialize it in notifier. addrconf_init() is called after
ip6_route_init(), which means we have no chance to correct it.

Fix it by moving this initialization explicitly after
ipv6_add_dev(init_net.loopback_dev) in addrconf_init().

[ Upstream commit 86f4c90a1c5c1493f07f2d12c1079f5bf01936f2 ]

raw_send_hdrinc() and rawv6_send_hdrinc() expect that the buffer copied
from the userspace contains the IPv4/IPv6 header, so if too few bytes are
copied, parts of the header may remain uninitialized.

This bug has been detected with KMSAN.

[ Upstream commit 105f5528b9bbaa08b526d3405a5bcd2ff0c953c8 ]

In situations where an skb is paged, the transport header pointer and
tail pointer can be the same because the skb contents are in frags.

This results in ioctl(SIOCINQ/FIONREAD) incorrectly returning a
length of 0 when the length to receive is actually greater than zero.

skb-&gt;len is already correctly set in ip6_input_finish() with
pskb_pull(), so use skb-&gt;len as it always returns the correct result
for both linear and paged data.

<title>ipv6: check skb-&gt;protocol before lookup for nexthop</title>

[ Upstream commit 199ab00f3cdb6f154ea93fa76fd80192861a821d ]

Andrey reported a out-of-bound access in ip6_tnl_xmit(), this
is because we use an ipv4 dst in ip6_tnl_xmit() and cast an IPv4
neigh key as an IPv6 address:

        neigh = dst_neigh_lookup(skb_dst(skb),
                                 &amp;ipv6_hdr(skb)-&gt;daddr);
        if (!neigh)
                goto tx_err_link_failure;

        addr6 = (struct in6_addr *)&amp;neigh-&gt;primary_key; // &lt;=== HERE
        addr_type = ipv6_addr_type(addr6);

        if (addr_type == IPV6_ADDR_ANY)
                addr6 = &amp;ipv6_hdr(skb)-&gt;daddr;

        memcpy(&amp;fl6-&gt;daddr, addr6, sizeof(fl6-&gt;daddr));

Also the network header of the skb at this point should be still IPv4
for 4in6 tunnels, we shold not just use it as IPv6 header.

This patch fixes it by checking if skb-&gt;protocol is ETH_P_IPV6: if it
is, we are safe to do the nexthop lookup using skb_dst() and

[ Upstream commit 199ab00f3cdb6f154ea93fa76fd80192861a821d ]

Andrey reported a out-of-bound access in ip6_tnl_xmit(), this
is because we use an ipv4 dst in ip6_tnl_xmit() and cast an IPv4
neigh key as an IPv6 address:

        neigh = dst_neigh_lookup(skb_dst(skb),
                                 &amp;ipv6_hdr(skb)-&gt;daddr);
        if (!neigh)
                goto tx_err_link_failure;

        addr6 = (struct in6_addr *)&amp;neigh-&gt;primary_key; // &lt;=== HERE
        addr_type = ipv6_addr_type(addr6);

        if (addr_type == IPV6_ADDR_ANY)
                addr6 = &amp;ipv6_hdr(skb)-&gt;daddr;

        memcpy(&amp;fl6-&gt;daddr, addr6, sizeof(fl6-&gt;daddr));

Also the network header of the skb at this point should be still IPv4
for 4in6 tunnels, we shold not just use it as IPv6 header.

This patch fixes it by checking if skb-&gt;protocol is ETH_P_IPV6: if it
is, we are safe to do the nexthop lookup using skb_dst() and
ipv6_hdr(skb)-&gt;daddr; if not (aka IPv4), we have no clue about which
dest address we can pick here, we have to rely on callers to fill it
from tunnel config, so just fall to ip6_route_output() to make the
decision.

[ Upstream commit 723b929ca0f79c0796f160c2eeda4597ee98d2b8 ]

Andrey Konovalov reported a BUG caused by the ip6mr code which is caused
because we call unregister_netdevice_many for a device that is already
being destroyed. In IPv4's ipmr that has been resolved by two commits
long time ago by introducing the "notify" parameter to the delete
function and avoiding the unregister when called from a notifier, so
let's do the same for ip6mr.

The trace from Andrey:

Andrey's syzkaller program passes rtmsg.rtmsg_flags with the RTF_PCPU bit
set. Flags passed to the kernel are blindly copied to the allocated
rt6_info by ip6_route_info_create making a newly inserted route appear
as though it is a per-cpu route. ip6_rt_cache_alloc sees the flag set
and expects rt-&gt;dst.from to be set - which it is not since it is not
really a per-cpu copy. The subsequent call to __ip6_dst_alloc then
generates the fault.

Fix by checking for the flag and failing with EINVAL.

commit c2ed1880fd61a998e3ce40254a99a2ad000f1a7d upstream.

The protocol field is checked when deleting IPv4 routes, but ignored for
IPv6, which causes problems with routing daemons accidentally deleting
externally set routes (observed by multiple bird6 users).

This can be verified using `ip -6 route del &lt;prefix&gt; proto something`.

[ Upstream commit 45caeaa5ac0b4b11784ac6f932c0ad4c6b67cda0 ]

As Eric Dumazet pointed out this also needs to be fixed in IPv6.
v2: Contains the IPv6 tcp/Ipv6 dccp patches as well.

We have seen a few incidents lately where a dst_enty has been freed
with a dangling TCP socket reference (sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache) pointing to that
dst_entry. If the conditions/timings are right a crash then ensues when the
freed dst_entry is referenced later on. A Common crashing back trace is:

 #8 [] page_fault at ffffffff8163e648
    [exception RIP: __tcp_ack_snd_check+74]
.
.
 #9 [] tcp_rcv_established at ffffffff81580b64
#10 [] tcp_v4_do_rcv at ffffffff8158b54a
#11 [] tcp_v4_rcv at ffffffff8158cd02
#12 [] ip_local_deliver_finish at ffffffff815668f4
#13 [] ip_local_deliver at ffffffff81566bd9
#14 [] ip_rcv_finish at ffffffff8156656d
#15 [] ip_rcv at ffffffff81566f06
#16 [] __netif_receive_skb_core at ffffffff8152b3a2
#17 [] __netif_receive_skb at ffffffff8152b608
#18 [] netif_receive_skb at ffffffff8152b690
#19 [] vmxnet3_rq_rx_complete at ffffffffa015eeaf [vmxnet3]
#20 [] vmxnet3_poll_rx_only at ffffffffa015f32a [vmxnet3]
#21 [] net_rx_action at ffffffff8152bac2
#22 [] __do_softirq at ffffffff81084b4f
#23 [] call_softirq at ffffffff8164845c
#24 [] do_softirq at ffffffff81016fc5
#25 [] irq_exit at ffffffff81084ee5
#26 [] do_IRQ at ffffffff81648ff8

Of course it may happen with other NIC drivers as well.

It's found the freed dst_entry here:

 224 static bool tcp_in_quickack_mode(struct sock *sk)↩
 225 {↩
 226 ▹       const struct inet_connection_sock *icsk = inet_csk(sk);↩
 227 ▹       const struct dst_entry *dst = __sk_dst_get(sk);↩
 228 ↩
 229 ▹       return (dst &amp;&amp; dst_metric(dst, RTAX_QUICKACK)) ||↩
 230 ▹       ▹       (icsk-&gt;icsk_ack.quick &amp;&amp; !icsk-&gt;icsk_ack.pingpong);↩
 231 }↩

But there are other backtraces attributed to the same freed dst_entry in
netfilter code as well.

All the vmcores showed 2 significant clues:

- Remote hosts behind the default gateway had always been redirected to a
different gateway. A rtable/dst_entry will be added for that host. Making
more dst_entrys with lower reference counts. Making this more probable.

- All vmcores showed a postitive LockDroppedIcmps value, e.g:

LockDroppedIcmps                  267

A closer look at the tcp_v4_err() handler revealed that do_redirect() will run
regardless of whether user space has the socket locked. This can result in a
race condition where the same dst_entry cached in sk-&gt;sk_dst_entry can be
decremented twice for the same socket via:

do_redirect()-&gt;__sk_dst_check()-&gt; dst_release().

Which leads to the dst_entry being prematurely freed with another socket
pointing to it via sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache and a subsequent crash.

To fix this skip do_redirect() if usespace has the socket locked. Instead let
the redirect take place later when user space does not have the socket
locked.

The dccp/IPv6 code is very similar in this respect, so fixing it there too.

As Eric Garver pointed out the following commit now invalidates routes. Which
can set the dst-&gt;obsolete flag so that ipv4_dst_check() returns null and
triggers the dst_release().

<title>ipv6: avoid write to a possibly cloned skb</title>

[ Upstream commit 79e49503efe53a8c51d8b695bedc8a346c5e4a87 ]

ip6_fragment, in case skb has a fraglist, checks if the
skb is cloned.  If it is, it will move to the 'slow path' and allocates
new skbs for each fragment.

However, right before entering the slowpath loop, it updates the
nexthdr value of the last ipv6 extension header to NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT,
to account for the fragment header that will be inserted in the new
ipv6-fragment skbs.

In case original skb is cloned this munges nexthdr value of another
skb.  Avoid this by doing the nexthdr update for each of the new fragment
skbs separately.

This was observed with tcpdump on a bridge device where netfilter ipv6
reassembly is active:  tcpdump shows malformed fragment headers as
the l4 header (icmpv6, tcp, etc). is decoded as a fragment header.
