mld: fix suspicious RCU usage in __ipv6_dev_mc_dec()

2026-07-24T13:49:24+00:00

commit aa8caa767e319bad34a82bfce7da1ed2b9c0ed6f upstream.

__ipv6_dev_mc_dec() internally uses sleepable functions so that caller
must not acquire atomic locks. But caller, which is addrconf_verify_rtnl()
acquires rcu_read_lock_bh().
So this warning occurs in the __ipv6_dev_mc_dec().

Test commands:
    ip netns add A
    ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    ip link set veth1 netns A
    ip link set veth0 up
    ip netns exec A ip link set veth1 up
    ip a a 2001:db8::1/64 dev veth0 valid_lft 2 preferred_lft 1

In order to avoid this problem, it uses rcu_read_unlock_bh() for
a short time. RCU is used for avoiding freeing
ifp(struct *inet6_ifaddr) while ifp is being used. But this will
not be released even if rcu_read_unlock_bh() is used.
Because before rcu_read_unlock_bh(), it uses in6_ifa_hold(ifp).
So this is safe.

ipv6: mcast: remove one synchronize_net() barrier in ipv6_mc_down()

2026-07-24T13:49:24+00:00

commit 17ef8efc00b34918b966388b2af0993811895a8c upstream.

As discussed in the past (commit 2d3916f31891 ("ipv6: fix skb drops
in igmp6_event_query() and igmp6_event_report()")) I think the
synchronize_net() call in ipv6_mc_down() is not needed.

Under load, synchronize_net() can last between 200 usec and 5 ms.

KASAN seems to agree as well.

ipv6: mcast: fix data-race in ipv6_mc_down / mld_ifc_work

2026-07-24T13:49:24+00:00

commit 2e7ef287f07c74985f1bf2858bedc62bd9ebf155 upstream.

idev->mc_ifc_count can be written over without proper locking.

Originally found by syzbot [1], fix this issue by encapsulating calls
to mld_ifc_stop_work() (and mld_gq_stop_work() for good measure) with
mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() accordingly as these functions
should only be called with mc_lock per their declarations.

net: mld: fix reference count leak in mld_{query | report}_work()

2026-07-24T13:49:24+00:00

commit 3e7d18b9dca388940a19cae30bfc1f76dccd8c28 upstream.

mld_{query | report}_work() processes queued events.
If there are too many events in the queue, it re-queue a work.
And then, it returns without in6_dev_put().
But if queuing is failed, it should call in6_dev_put(), but it doesn't.
So, a reference count leak would occur.

THREAD0				THREAD1
mld_report_work()
				spin_lock_bh()
				if (!mod_delayed_work())
					in6_dev_hold();
				spin_unlock_bh()
	spin_lock_bh()
	schedule_delayed_work()
	spin_unlock_bh()

Script to reproduce(by Hangbin Liu):
   ip netns add ns1
   ip netns add ns2
   ip netns exec ns1 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.force_mld_version=1
   ip netns exec ns2 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.force_mld_version=1

   ip -n ns1 link add veth0 type veth peer name veth0 netns ns2
   ip -n ns1 link set veth0 up
   ip -n ns2 link set veth0 up

   for i in `seq 50`; do

                   ip -n ns1 addr add 2021:${i}::${j}/64 dev veth0
                   ip -n ns2 addr add 2022:${i}::${j}/64 dev veth0
           done
   done
   modprobe -r veth

ipv6: mcast: use rcu-safe version of ipv6_get_lladdr()

2026-07-24T13:49:23+00:00

commit 26394fc118d6115390bd5b3a0fb17096271da227 upstream.

Some time ago 8965779d2c0e ("ipv6,mcast: always hold idev->lock before mca_lock")
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev->lock was held for these codepaths.

In 88e2ca308094 ("mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU") these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.

Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following
in dmesg:

mld: change lockdep annotation for ip6_sf_socklist and ipv6_mc_socklist

2026-07-24T13:49:23+00:00

commit 4b4b84468aa27d0a18be8cb727f246aa35a3406d upstream.

struct ip6_sf_socklist and ipv6_mc_socklist are per-socket MLD data.
These data are protected by rtnl lock, socket lock, and RCU.
So, when these are used, it verifies whether rtnl lock is acquired or not.

ip6_mc_msfget() is called by do_ipv6_getsockopt().
But caller doesn't acquire rtnl lock.
So, when these data are used in the ip6_mc_msfget() lockdep warns about it.
But accessing these is actually safe because socket lock was acquired by
do_ipv6_getsockopt().

So, it changes lockdep annotation from rtnl lock to socket lock.
(rtnl_dereference -> sock_dereference)

Locking graph for mld data is like below:

When writing mld data:
do_ipv6_setsockopt()
    rtnl_lock
    lock_sock
    (mld functions)
        idev->mc_lock(if per-interface mld data is modified)

When reading mld data:
do_ipv6_getsockopt()
    lock_sock
    ip6_mc_msfget()

Splat looks like:

Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix regressions caused by reusing ident

2026-07-24T13:49:23+00:00

commit 761fb8ec8778f0caf2bba5a41e3cff1ea86974f3 upstream.

This attempt to fix regressions caused by reusing ident which apparently
is not handled well on certain stacks causing the stack to not respond to
requests, so instead of simple returning the first unallocated id this
stores the last used tx_ident and then attempt to use the next until all
available ids are exausted and then cycle starting over to 1.

audit: add audit_log_nf_skb helper function

2026-07-24T13:49:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit f19590b07cb620be1fcd5474c49515e21a05d406 ]

Netfilter code (net/netfilter/nft_log.c and net/netfilter/xt_AUDIT.c)
have to be kept in sync. Both source files had duplicated versions of
audit_ip4() and audit_ip6() functions, which can result in lack of
consistency and/or duplicated work.

This patch adds a helper function in audit.c that can be called by
netfilter code commonly, aiming to improve maintainability and
consistency.
