6a87cca39f ipv6: avoid unregistering inet6_dev for loopback
commit 60abc0be96e00ca71bac083215ac91ad2e575096 upstream.

The per netns loopback_dev->ip6_ptr is unregistered and set to
NULL when its mtu is set to smaller than IPV6_MIN_MTU, this
leads to that we could set rt->rt6i_idev NULL after a
rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() and then crash after another
call.

In this case we should just bring its inet6_dev down, rather
than unregistering it, at least prior to commit 176c39af29
("netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic") we always
override the case for loopback.

Thanks a lot to Andrey for finding a reliable reproducer.

0d1effe95e ipv6: fix calling in6_ifa_hold incorrectly for dad work
[ Upstream commit f8a894b218138888542a5058d0e902378fd0d4ec ]

Now when starting the dad work in addrconf_mod_dad_work, if the dad work
is idle and queued, it needs to hold ifa.

The problem is there's one gap in [1], during which if the pending dad work
is removed elsewhere. It will miss to hold ifa, but the dad word is still
idea and queue.

        if (!delayed_work_pending(&ifp->dad_work))
                in6_ifa_hold(ifp);
                    <--------------[1]
        mod_delayed_work(addrconf_wq, &ifp->dad_work, delay);

An use-after-free issue can be caused by this.

Chen Wei found this issue when WARN_ON(!hlist_unhashed(&ifp->addr_lst)) in
net6_ifa_finish_destroy was hit because of it.

As Hannes' suggestion, this patch is to fix it by holding ifa first in
addrconf_mod_dad_work, then calling mod_delayed_work and putting ifa if
the dad_work is already in queue.

Note that this patch did not choose to fix it with:

  if (!mod_delayed_work(delay))
          in6_ifa_hold(ifp);

As with it, when delay == 0, dad_work would be scheduled immediately, all
addrconf_mod_dad_work(0) callings had to be moved under ifp->lock.

8d228758f9 ipv6: Fix IPv6 packet loss in scenarios involving roaming + snooping switches
[ Upstream commit a088d1d73a4bcfd7bc482f8d08375b9b665dc3e5 ]

When for instance a mobile Linux device roams from one access point to
another with both APs sharing the same broadcast domain and a
multicast snooping switch in between:

1)    (c) <~~~> (AP1) <--[SSW]--> (AP2)

2)              (AP1) <--[SSW]--> (AP2) <~~~> (c)

Then currently IPv6 multicast packets will get lost for (c) until an
MLD Querier sends its next query message. The packet loss occurs
because upon roaming the Linux host so far stayed silent regarding
MLD and the snooping switch will therefore be unaware of the
multicast topology change for a while.

This patch fixes this by always resending MLD reports when an interface
change happens, for instance from NO-CARRIER to CARRIER state.

5c333f84bb ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf
[ 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->ipv6.ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev to
net->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.

5117f03fd6 ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()
[ Upstream commit 2f460933f58eee3393aba64f0f6d14acb08d1724 ]

Andrey reported a crash on init_net.ipv6.ip6_null_entry->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().

8051bf2890 ipv6: addrconf: Avoid addrconf_disable_change() using RCU read-side lock
[ Upstream commit 03e4deff4987f79c34112c5ba4eb195d4f9382b0 ]

Just like commit 4acd4945cd ("ipv6: addrconf: Avoid calling
netdevice notifiers with RCU read-side lock"), it is unnecessary
to make addrconf_disable_change() use RCU iteration over the
netdev list, since it already holds the RTNL lock, or we may meet
Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section.

e635b47661 ipv6: correctly add local routes when lo goes up
[ Upstream commit a220445f9f4382c36a53d8ef3e08165fa27f7e2c ]

The goal of the patch is to fix this scenario:
 ip link add dummy1 type dummy
 ip link set dummy1 up
 ip link set lo down ; ip link set lo up

After that sequence, the local route to the link layer address of dummy1 is
not there anymore.

When the loopback is set down, all local routes are deleted by
addrconf_ifdown()/rt6_ifdown(). At this time, the rt6_info entry still
exists, because the corresponding idev has a reference on it. After the rcu
grace period, dst_rcu_free() is called, and thus ___dst_free(), which will
set obsolete to DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD.

In this case, init_loopback() is called before dst_rcu_free(), thus
obsolete is still sets to something <= 0. So, the function doesn't add the
route again. To avoid that race, let's check the rt6 refcnt instead.

8b18e0e498 ipv6: addrconf: fix dev refcont leak when DAD failed
commit 751eb6b6042a596b0080967c1a529a9fe98dac1d upstream.

In general, when DAD detected IPv6 duplicate address, ifp->state
will be set to INET6_IFADDR_STATE_ERRDAD and DAD is stopped by a
delayed work, the call tree should be like this:

ndisc_recv_ns
  -> addrconf_dad_failure        <- missing ifp put
     -> addrconf_mod_dad_work
       -> schedule addrconf_dad_work()
         -> addrconf_dad_stop()  <- missing ifp hold before call it

addrconf_dad_failure() called with ifp refcont holding but not put.
addrconf_dad_work() call addrconf_dad_stop() without extra holding
refcount. This will not cause any issue normally.

But the race between addrconf_dad_failure() and addrconf_dad_work()
may cause ifp refcount leak and netdevice can not be unregister,
dmesg show the following messages:

IPv6: eth0: IPv6 duplicate address fe80::XX:XXXX:XXXX:XX detected!
...
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1

This reverts commit ab450605b3.

In IPv6, we cannot inherit the dst of the original dst. ndisc packets
are IPv6 packets and may take another route than the original packet.

This patch breaks the following scenario: a packet comes from eth0 and
is forwarded through vxlan1. The encapsulated packet triggers an NS
which cannot be sent because of the wrong route.

b1974ed05e netlink: Rightsize IFLA_AF_SPEC size calculation
if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink
dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the
message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because
ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and
rtnl_link_get_size().

The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many
VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN).

This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size
calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size()
and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops.

Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications.
br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified
get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops.
br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

d5566fd72e rtnetlink: RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS support to avoid dumping inet/inet6 stats

to dump the interface information, and do not need the
the AF_INET6 statististics that are always returned by default
from rtnl_fill_ifinfo().

Computing the statistics can be an expensive operation that impacts
scaling, so it is desirable to avoid this if the information is
not needed.

This patch adds a the RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS extended info flag that
can be passed with netlink_request() to avoid statistics computation
for the ifinfo path.

8e3d5be736 ipv6: Avoid double dst_free
It is a prep work to get dst freeing from fib tree undergo
a rcu grace period.

The following is a common paradigm:
if (ip6_del_rt(rt))
	dst_free(rt)

which means, if rt cannot be deleted from the fib tree, dst_free(rt) now.
1. We don't know the ip6_del_rt(rt) failure is because it
   was not managed by fib tree (e.g. DST_NOCACHE) or it had already been
   removed from the fib tree.
2. If rt had been managed by the fib tree, ip6_del_rt(rt) failure means
   dst_free(rt) has been called already.  A second
   dst_free(rt) is not always obviously safe.  The rt may have
   been destroyed already.
3. If rt is a DST_NOCACHE, dst_free(rt) should not be called.
4. It is a stopper to make dst freeing from fib tree undergo a
   rcu grace period.

This patch is to use a DST_NOCACHE flag to indicate a rt is
not managed by the fib tree.

Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is a fairly sizeable set of changes.  I've put them through a
  decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
  that.

  There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
  go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
  than waiting for those last few fixups.

  Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
  temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
  cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack.  We
  deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
  back if we can deprecate another one (ehca).  We also put Intel's new
  hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
  transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
  the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
  that library.

  I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
  releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
  deletions of deprecated drivers are done.

  Summary of changes for 4.3:

   - Create drivers/staging/rdma
   - Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular

   - Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices
   - Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code
   - Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read

   - Various iSER updates
   - Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations

   - Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache

a3a773726c net: Optimize snmp stat aggregation by walking all the percpu data at once
Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) and perf data showed 50% ovehead in snmp_fold_field.

reason: currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).

idea: This patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.

Docker creation got faster by more than 2x after the patch.

Result:
                       Before           After
Docker creation time   6.836s           3.25s

For loopback purposes, RoCE devices should have a default GID in the
port GID table, even when the interface is down. In order to do so,
we use the IPv6 link local address which would have been genenrated
for the related Ethernet netdevice when it goes up as a default GID.

35103d1117 net: ipv6 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down
Like the ipv4 patch with a similar title, this adds a sysctl to allow
the user to change routing behavior based on whether or not the
interface associated with the nexthop was an up or down link.  The
default setting preserves the current behavior, but anyone that enables
it will notice that nexthops on down interfaces will no longer be
selected:

net.ipv6.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
...

When the above sysctls are set, not only will link status be reported to
userspace, but an indication that a nexthop is dead and will not be used
is also reported.

1000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1  metric 1024 dead linkdown  pref medium
1000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1  metric 1024  pref medium
7000::/8 dev p7p1  proto kernel  metric 256 dead linkdown  pref medium
8000::/8 dev p8p1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium

fe80::/64 dev p7p1  proto kernel  metric 256 dead linkdown  pref medium
fe80::/64 dev p8p1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium

This also adds devconf support and notification when sysctl values
change.

8013d1d7ea net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit
Commit 6fd99094de ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.

1f56a01f4e ipv6: Consider RTF_CACHE when searching the fib6 tree
It is a prep work for the later bug-fix patch which will stop /128 route
from disappearing after pmtu update.

The later bug-fix patch will allow a /128 route and its RTF_CACHE clone
both exist at the same fib6_node.  To do this, we need to prepare the
existing fib6 tree search to expect RTF_CACHE for /128 route.

Note that the fn->leaf is sorted by rt6i_metric.  Hence,
RTF_CACHE (if there is any) is always at the front.  This property
leads to the following:

1. When doing ip6_route_del(), it should honor the RTF_CACHE flag which
   the caller is used to ask for deleting clone or non-clone.
   The rtm_to_fib6_config() should also check the RTM_F_CLONED and
   then set RTF_CACHE accordingly so that:
   - 'ip -6 r del...' will make ip6_route_del() to delete a route
     and all its clones. Note that its clones is flushed by fib6_del()
   - 'ip -6 r flush table cache' will make ip6_route_del() to
      only delete clone(s).

2. Exclude RTF_CACHE from addrconf_get_prefix_route() which
   should not configure on a cloned route.

3. No change is need for rt6_device_match() since it currently could
   return a RTF_CACHE clone route, so the later bug-fix patch will not
   affect it.

622c81d57b ipv6: generation of stable privacy addresses for link-local and autoconf
This patch implements the stable privacy address generation for
link-local and autoconf addresses as specified in RFC7217.

  RID = F(Prefix, Net_Iface, Network_ID, DAD_Counter, secret_key)

is the RID (random identifier). As the hash function F we chose one
round of sha1. Prefix will be either the link-local prefix or the
router advertised one. As Net_Iface we use the MAC address of the
device. DAD_Counter and secret_key are implemented as specified.

We don't use Network_ID, as it couples the code too closely to other
subsystems. It is specified as optional in the RFC.

As Net_Iface we only use the MAC address: we simply have no stable
identifier in the kernel we could possibly use: because this code might
run very early, we cannot depend on names, as they might be changed by
user space early on during the boot process.

A new address generation mode is introduced,
IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY. With iproute2 one can switch back to
none or eui64 address configuration mode although the stable_secret is
already set.

We refuse writes to ipv6/conf/all/stable_secret but only allow
ipv6/conf/default/stable_secret and the interface specific file to be
written to. The default stable_secret is used as the parameter for the
namespace, the interface specific can overwrite the secret, e.g. when
switching a network configuration from one system to another while
inheriting the secret.

54ff9ef36b ipv4, ipv6: kill ip_mc_{join, leave}_group and ipv6_sock_mc_{join, drop}
in favor of their inner __ ones, which doesn't grab rtnl.

As these functions need to operate on a locked socket, we can't be
grabbing rtnl by then. It's too late and doing so causes reversed
locking.

So this patch:
- move rtnl handling to callers instead while already fixing some
  reversed locking situations, like on vxlan and ipvs code.
- renames __ ones to not have the __ mark:
  __ip_mc_{join,leave}_group -> ip_mc_{join,leave}_group

not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since
the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not
have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses.

Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option
that enables then to do the required join.

By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar
functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling
mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is
structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave.

example:
ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin
ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5

77751427a1 ipv6: addrconf: validate new MTU before applying it
Currently we don't check if the new MTU is valid or not and this allows
one to configure a smaller than minimum allowed by RFCs or even bigger
than interface own MTU, which is a problem as it may lead to packet
drops.

If you have a daemon like NetworkManager running, this may be exploited
by remote attackers by forging RA packets with an invalid MTU, possibly
leading to a DoS. (NetworkManager currently only validates for values
too small, but not for too big ones.)

The fix is just to make sure the new value is valid. That is, between
IPV6_MIN_MTU and interface's MTU.

Note that similar check is already performed at
ndisc_router_discovery(), for when kernel itself parses the RA.
