[ Upstream commit 66eb9f86e50547ec2a8ff7a75997066a74ef584b ]

Every address gets added with TENTATIVE flag even for the addresses with
IFA_F_NODAD flag and dad-work is scheduled for them. During this DAD process
we realize it's an address with NODAD and complete the process without
sending any probe. However the TENTATIVE flags stays on the
address for sometime enough to cause misinterpretation when we receive a NS.
While processing NS, if the address has TENTATIVE flag, we mark it DADFAILED
and endup with an address that was originally configured as NODAD with
DADFAILED.

We can't avoid scheduling dad_work for addresses with NODAD but we can
avoid adding TENTATIVE flag to avoid this racy situation.

[ Upstream commit 4e587ea71bf924f7dac621f1351653bd41e446cb ]

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt-&gt;rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

<title>ipv6: dad: don't remove dynamic addresses if link is down</title>

commit ec8add2a4c9df723c94a863b8fcd6d93c472deed upstream.

Currently, when the link for $DEV is down, this command succeeds but the
address is removed immediately by DAD (1):

    ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800

In the same situation, this will succeed and not remove the address (2):

    ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV
    ip addr change 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800

The comment in addrconf_dad_begin() when !IF_READY makes it look like
this is the intended behavior, but doesn't explain why:

     * If the device is not ready:
     * - keep it tentative if it is a permanent address.
     * - otherwise, kill it.

We clearly cannot prevent userspace from doing (2), but we can make (1)
work consistently with (2).

addrconf_dad_stop() is only called in two cases: if DAD failed, or to
skip DAD when the link is down. In that second case, the fix is to avoid
deleting the address, like we already do for permanent addresses.

<title>ipv6: avoid unregistering inet6_dev for loopback</title>

commit 60abc0be96e00ca71bac083215ac91ad2e575096 upstream.

The per netns loopback_dev-&gt;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-&gt;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 176c39af29bc
("netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic") we always
override the case for loopback.

Thanks a lot to Andrey for finding a reliable reproducer.

<title>ipv6: fix calling in6_ifa_hold incorrectly for dad work</title>

[ 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(&amp;ifp-&gt;dad_work))
                in6_ifa_hold(ifp);
                    &lt;--------------[1]
        mod_delayed_work(addrconf_wq, &amp;ifp-&gt;dad_work, delay);

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

Chen Wei found this issue when WARN_ON(!hlist_unhashed(&amp;ifp-&gt;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-&gt;lock.

<title>ipv6: Fix IPv6 packet loss in scenarios involving roaming + snooping switches</title>

[ 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) &lt;~~~&gt; (AP1) &lt;--[SSW]--&gt; (AP2)

2)              (AP1) &lt;--[SSW]--&gt; (AP2) &lt;~~~&gt; (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.

<title>ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf</title>

[ 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-&gt;ipv6.ip6_null_entry-&gt;rt6i_idev to
net-&gt;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.

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.

[ Upstream commit 2f460933f58eee3393aba64f0f6d14acb08d1724 ]

Andrey reported a crash on init_net.ipv6.ip6_null_entry-&gt;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().

[ Upstream commit 03e4deff4987f79c34112c5ba4eb195d4f9382b0 ]

Just like commit 4acd4945cd1e ("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.

<title>ipv6: correctly add local routes when lo goes up</title>

[ 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 &lt;= 0. So, the function doesn't add the
route again. To avoid that race, let's check the rt6 refcnt instead.

Fixes: 25fb6ca4ed9c ("net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up")
Fixes: a881ae1f625c ("ipv6: don't call addrconf_dst_alloc again when enable lo")
Fixes: 33d99113b110 ("ipv6: reallocate addrconf router for ipv6 address when lo device up")
