Commit 5f9c55c8066b ("ipv6: check return value of ipv6_skip_exthdr")
introduced an incorrect check, which leads to all ESP packets over
either TCPv6 or UDPv6 encapsulation being dropped. In this particular
case, offset is negative, since skb-&gt;data points to the ESP header in
the following chain of headers, while skb-&gt;network_header points to
the IPv6 header:

    IPv6 | ext | ... | ext | UDP | ESP | ...

That doesn't seem to be a problem, especially considering that if we
reach esp6_input_done2, we're guaranteed to have a full set of headers
available (otherwise the packet would have been dropped earlier in the
stack). However, it means that the return value will (intentionally)
be negative. We can make the test more specific, as the expected
return value of ipv6_skip_exthdr will be the (negated) size of either
a UDP header, or a TCP header with possible options.

In the future, we should probably either make ipv6_skip_exthdr
explicitly accept negative offsets (and adjust its return value for
error cases), or make ipv6_skip_exthdr only take non-negative
offsets (and audit all callers).

LINK: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=205d6f11d72329ab8d62a610c44c5e7e25415580
The reproducer triggers it by sending a crafted message via sendmmsg()
call, which triggers skb_over_panic, and crashes the kernel:

Update the check that prevents an invalid packet with MTU equal
to the fregment header size to eat up all the space for payload.

The esp tunnel GSO handlers use skb_mac_gso_segment to
push the inner packet to the segmentation handlers.
However, skb_mac_gso_segment takes the Ethernet Protocol
ID from 'skb-&gt;protocol' which is wrong for inter address
family tunnels. We fix this by introducing a new
skb_eth_gso_segment function.

This function can be used if it is necessary to pass the
Ethernet Protocol ID directly to the segmentation handler.
First users of this function will be the esp4 and esp6
tunnel segmentation handlers.

The maximum message size that can be send is bigger than
the  maximum site that skb_page_frag_refill can allocate.
So it is possible to write beyond the allocated buffer.

Fix this by doing a fallback to COW in that case.

While investigating on why a synchronize_net() has been added recently
in ipv6_mc_down(), I found that igmp6_event_query() and igmp6_event_report()
might drop skbs in some cases.

Discussion about removing synchronize_net() from ipv6_mc_down()

<title>xfrm: fix tunnel model fragmentation behavior</title>

<id>4ff2980b6bd2aa6b4ded3ce3b7c0ccfab29980af</id>
<content type='text'>
in tunnel mode, if outer interface(ipv4) is less, it is easily to let
inner IPV6 mtu be less than 1280. If so, a Packet Too Big ICMPV6 message
is received. When send again, packets are fragmentized with 1280, they
are still rejected with ICMPV6(Packet Too Big) by xfrmi_xmit2().

According to RFC4213 Section3.2.2:
if (IPv4 path MTU - 20) is less than 1280
	if packet is larger than 1280 bytes
		Send ICMPv6 "packet too big" with MTU=1280
                Drop packet
        else
		Encapsulate but do not set the Don't Fragment
                flag in the IPv4 header.  The resulting IPv4
                packet might be fragmented by the IPv4 layer
                on the encapsulator or by some router along
                the IPv4 path.
	endif
else
	if packet is larger than (IPv4 path MTU - 20)
        	Send ICMPv6 "packet too big" with
                MTU = (IPv4 path MTU - 20).
                Drop packet.
        else
                Encapsulate and set the Don't Fragment flag
                in the IPv4 header.
        endif
endif
Packets should be fragmentized with ipv4 outer interface, so change it.

After it is fragemtized with ipv4, there will be double fragmenation.
No.48 &amp; No.51 are ipv6 fragment packets, No.48 is double fragmentized,
then tunneled with IPv4(No.49&amp; No.50), which obey spec. And received peer
cannot decrypt it rightly.

48              2002::10        2002::11 1296(length) IPv6 fragment (off=0 more=y ident=0xa20da5bc nxt=50)
49   0x0000 (0) 2002::10        2002::11 1304         IPv6 fragment (off=0 more=y ident=0x7448042c nxt=44)
50   0x0000 (0) 2002::10        2002::11 200          ESP (SPI=0x00035000)

xfrm6_noneed_fragment has fixed above issues. Finally, it acted like below:

in tunnel mode, if outer interface(ipv4) is less, it is easily to let
inner IPV6 mtu be less than 1280. If so, a Packet Too Big ICMPV6 message
is received. When send again, packets are fragmentized with 1280, they
are still rejected with ICMPV6(Packet Too Big) by xfrmi_xmit2().

According to RFC4213 Section3.2.2:
if (IPv4 path MTU - 20) is less than 1280
	if packet is larger than 1280 bytes
		Send ICMPv6 "packet too big" with MTU=1280
                Drop packet
        else
		Encapsulate but do not set the Don't Fragment
                flag in the IPv4 header.  The resulting IPv4
                packet might be fragmented by the IPv4 layer
                on the encapsulator or by some router along
                the IPv4 path.
	endif
else
	if packet is larger than (IPv4 path MTU - 20)
        	Send ICMPv6 "packet too big" with
                MTU = (IPv4 path MTU - 20).
                Drop packet.
        else
                Encapsulate and set the Don't Fragment flag
                in the IPv4 header.
        endif
endif
Packets should be fragmentized with ipv4 outer interface, so change it.

After it is fragemtized with ipv4, there will be double fragmenation.
No.48 &amp; No.51 are ipv6 fragment packets, No.48 is double fragmentized,
then tunneled with IPv4(No.49&amp; No.50), which obey spec. And received peer
cannot decrypt it rightly.

48              2002::10        2002::11 1296(length) IPv6 fragment (off=0 more=y ident=0xa20da5bc nxt=50)
49   0x0000 (0) 2002::10        2002::11 1304         IPv6 fragment (off=0 more=y ident=0x7448042c nxt=44)
50   0x0000 (0) 2002::10        2002::11 200          ESP (SPI=0x00035000)
51              2002::10        2002::11 180          Echo (ping) request
52   0x56dc     2002::10        2002::11 248          IPv6 fragment (off=1232 more=n ident=0xa20da5bc nxt=50)

xfrm6_noneed_fragment has fixed above issues. Finally, it acted like below:
1   0x6206 192.168.1.138   192.168.1.1 1316 Fragmented IP protocol (proto=Encap Security Payload 50, off=0, ID=6206) [Reassembled in #2]

<title>net: ipv6: ensure we call ipv6_mc_down() at most once</title>

There are two reasons for addrconf_notify() to be called with NETDEV_DOWN:
either the network device is actually going down, or IPv6 was disabled
on the interface.

If either of them stays down while the other is toggled, we repeatedly
call the code for NETDEV_DOWN, including ipv6_mc_down(), while never
calling the corresponding ipv6_mc_up() in between. This will cause a
new entry in idev-&gt;mc_tomb to be allocated for each multicast group
the interface is subscribed to, which in turn leaks one struct ifmcaddr6
per nontrivial multicast group the interface is subscribed to.

The following reproducer will leak at least $n objects:

ip addr add ff2e::4242/32 dev eth0 autojoin
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1
for i in $(seq 1 $n); do
	ip link set up eth0; ip link set down eth0
done

Joining groups with IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP (unprivileged) or setting the
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.forwarding to 1 (=&gt; subscribing to ff02::2)
can also be used to create a nontrivial idev-&gt;mc_list, which will the
leak objects with the right up-down-sequence.

Based on both sources for NETDEV_DOWN events the interface IPv6 state
should be considered:

 - not ready if the network interface is not ready OR IPv6 is disabled
   for it
 - ready if the network interface is ready AND IPv6 is enabled for it

The functions ipv6_mc_up() and ipv6_down() should only be run when this
state changes.

Implement this by remembering when the IPv6 state is ready, and only
run ipv6_mc_down() if it actually changed from ready to not ready.

The other direction (not ready -&gt; ready) already works correctly, as:

 - the interface notification triggered codepath for NETDEV_UP /
   NETDEV_CHANGE returns early if ipv6 is disabled, and
 - the disable_ipv6=0 triggered codepath skips fully initializing the
   interface as long as addrconf_link_ready(dev) returns false
 - calling ipv6_mc_up() repeatedly does not leak anything
