In the (unlikely) event fixup_permanent_addr() returns a failure,
addrconf_permanent_addr() calls ipv6_del_addr() without the
mandatory call to in6_ifa_hold(), leading to a refcount error,

<title>ipv6: fix net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_dad behaviour for real</title>

Commit 35e015e1f577 ("ipv6: fix net.ipv6.conf.all interface DAD handlers")
was intended to affect accept_dad flag handling in such a way that
DAD operation and mode on a given interface would be selected
according to the maximum value of conf/{all,interface}/accept_dad.

However, addrconf_dad_begin() checks for particular cases in which we
need to skip DAD, and this check was modified in the wrong way.

Namely, it was modified so that, if the accept_dad flag is 0 for the
given interface *or* for all interfaces, DAD would be skipped.

We have instead to skip DAD if accept_dad is 0 for the given interface
*and* for all interfaces.

Currently, writing into
net.ipv6.conf.all.{accept_dad,use_optimistic,optimistic_dad} has no effect.
Fix handling of these flags by:

- using the maximum of global and per-interface values for the
  accept_dad flag. That is, if at least one of the two values is
  non-zero, enable DAD on the interface. If at least one value is
  set to 2, enable DAD and disable IPv6 operation on the interface if
  MAC-based link-local address was found

- using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the
  optimistic_dad flag. If at least one of them is set to one, optimistic
  duplicate address detection (RFC 4429) is enabled on the interface

- using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the
  use_optimistic flag. If at least one of them is set to one,
  optimistic addresses won't be marked as deprecated during source address
  selection on the interface.

While at it, as we're modifying the prototype for ipv6_use_optimistic_addr(),
drop inline, and let the compiler decide.

<title>net: ipv6: fix regression of no RTM_DELADDR sent after DAD failure</title>

Commit f784ad3d79e5 ("ipv6: do not send RTM_DELADDR for tentative
addresses") incorrectly assumes that no RTM_NEWADDR are sent for
addresses in tentative state, as this does happen for the standard
IPv6 use-case of DAD failure, see the call to ipv6_ifa_notify() in
addconf_dad_stop(). So as a result of this change, no RTM_DELADDR is
sent after DAD failure for a link-local when strict DAD (accept_dad=2)
is configured, or on the next admin down in other cases. The absence
of this notification breaks backwards compatibility and causes problems
after DAD failure if this notification was being relied on. The
solution is to allow RTM_DELADDR to still be sent after DAD failure.

<title>net: ipv6: put host and anycast routes on device with address</title>

One nagging difference between ipv4 and ipv6 is host routes for ipv6
addresses are installed using the loopback device or VRF / L3 Master
device. e.g.,

    2001:db8:1::/120 dev veth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
    local 2001:db8:1::1 dev lo table local proto kernel metric 0 pref medium

Using the loopback device is convenient -- necessary for local tx, but
has some nasty side effects, most notably setting the 'lo' device down
causes all host routes for all local IPv6 address to be removed from the
FIB and completely breaks IPv6 networking across all interfaces.

This patch puts FIB entries for IPv6 routes against the device. This
simplifies the routes in the FIB, for example by making dst-&gt;dev and
rt6i_idev-&gt;dev the same (a future patch can look at removing the device
reference taken for rt6i_idev for FIB entries).

When copies are made on FIB lookups, the cloned route has dst-&gt;dev
set to loopback (or the L3 master device). This is needed for the
local Tx of packets to local addresses.

With fib entries allocated against the real network device, the addrconf
code that reinserts host routes on admin up of 'lo' is no longer needed.

This change allows us to later indicate to rtnetlink core that certain
doit functions should be called without acquiring rtnl_mutex.

This change should have no effect, we simply replace the last (now
unused) calcit argument with the new flag.

<title>ipv6: Regenerate host route according to node pointer upon interface up</title>

When an interface is brought back up, the kernel tries to restore the
host routes tied to its permanent addresses.

However, if the host route was removed from the FIB, then we need to
reinsert it. This is done by releasing the current dst and allocating a
new, so as to not reuse a dst with obsolete values.

Since this function is called under RTNL and using the same explanation
from the previous patch, we can test if the route is in the FIB by
checking its node pointer instead of its reference count.

Tested using the following script and Andrey's reproducer mentioned
in commit 8048ced9beb2 ("net: ipv6: regenerate host route if moved to gc
list") and linked below:

$ ip link set dev lo up
$ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
$ ip -6 address add cafe::1/64 dev dummy1
$ ip link set dev lo down	# cafe::1/128 is removed
$ ip link set dev dummy1 up
$ ip link set dev lo up

The host route is correctly regenerated.

When the loopback device is brought back up we need to check if the host
route attached to the address is still in the FIB and regenerate one in
case it's not.

Host routes using the loopback device are always inserted into and
removed from the FIB under RTNL (under which this function is called),
so we can test their node pointer instead of the reference count in
order to check if the route is in the FIB or not.

Tested using the following script from Nicolas mentioned in
commit a220445f9f43 ("ipv6: correctly add local routes when lo goes up"):

$ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
$ ip link set dummy1 up
$ ip link set lo down ; ip link set lo up

The host route is correctly regenerated.
