Thomas found that some forwarded packets would be stuck
in FQ packet scheduler because their skb-&gt;tstamp contained
timestamps far in the future.

We thought we addressed this point in commit 8203e2d844d3
("net: clear skb-&gt;tstamp in forwarding paths") but there
is still an issue when/if a packet needs to be fragmented.

In order to meet EDT requirements, we have to make sure all
fragments get the original skb-&gt;tstamp.

Note that this original skb-&gt;tstamp should be zero in
forwarding path, but might have a non zero value in
output path if user decided so.

Fixes: fb420d5d91c1 ("tcp/fq: move back to CLOCK_MONOTONIC")

This reverts commit b0818f80c8c1bc215bba276bd61c216014fab23b.

Started seeing weird behavior after this patch especially in
the IPv6 code path. Haven't root caused it, but since this was
applied to net branch, taking a precautionary measure to revert
it and look / analyze those failures

Revert this now and I'll send a better fix after analysing / fixing
the weirdness observed.

While invalidating the dst, we assign backhole_netdev instead of
loopback device. However, this device does not have idev pointer
and hence no ip6_ptr even if IPv6 is enabled. Possibly this has
triggered the syzbot reported crash.

The syzbot report does not have reproducer, however, this is the
only device that doesn't have matching idev created.

Crash instruction is :

static inline bool ip6_ignore_linkdown(const struct net_device *dev)
{
        const struct inet6_dev *idev = __in6_dev_get(dev);

        return !!idev-&gt;cnf.ignore_routes_with_linkdown; &lt;= crash
}

Also ipv6 always assumes presence of idev and never checks for it
being NULL (as does the above referenced code). So adding a idev
for the blackhole_netdev to avoid this class of crashes in the future.

There are few places where we fetch tp-&gt;write_seq while
this field can change from IRQ or other cpu.

We need to add READ_ONCE() annotations, and also make
sure write sides use corresponding WRITE_ONCE() to avoid
store-tearing.

<title>tcp: add rcu protection around tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk</title>

Both tcp_v4_err() and tcp_v6_err() do the following operations
while they do not own the socket lock :

	fastopen = tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk;
 	snd_una = fastopen ? tcp_rsk(fastopen)-&gt;snt_isn : tp-&gt;snd_una;

The problem is that without appropriate barrier, the compiler
might reload tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk and trigger a NULL deref.

request sockets are protected by RCU, we can simply add
the missing annotations and barriers to solve the issue.

ip6erspan driver calls ether_setup(), after commit 61e84623ace3
("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the range
of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.

It causes the dev mtu of the erspan device to not be greater
than 1500, this limit value is not correct for ip6erspan tap
device.

Rajendra reported a kernel panic when a link was taken down:

addrconf_dad_work is kicked to be scheduled when a device is brought
up. There is a race between addrcond_dad_work getting scheduled and
taking the rtnl lock and a process taking the link down (under rtnl).
The latter removes the host route from the inet6_addr as part of
addrconf_ifdown which is run for NETDEV_DOWN. The former attempts
to use the host route in __ipv6_ifa_notify. If the down event removes
the host route due to the race to the rtnl, then the BUG listed above
occurs.

Since the DAD sequence can not be aborted, add a check for the missing
host route in __ipv6_ifa_notify. The only way this should happen is due
to the previously mentioned race. The host route is created when the
address is added to an interface; it is only removed on a down event
where the address is kept. Add a warning if the host route is missing
AND the device is up; this is a situation that should never happen.

Fixes: f1705ec197e7 ("net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional")

This reverts commit a3ce2a21bb8969ae27917281244fa91bf5f286d7.

Eric reported tests failings with commit. After digging into it,
the bottom line is that the DAD sequence is not to be messed with.
There are too many cases that are expected to proceed regardless
of whether a device is up.

Revert the patch and I will send a different solution for the
problem Rajendra reported.
