commit f06b7549b79e29a672336d4e134524373fb7a232 upstream.

Lennert reported a failure to add different mpls encaps in a multipath
route:

  $ ip -6 route add 1234::/16 \
        nexthop encap mpls 10 via fe80::1 dev ens3 \
        nexthop encap mpls 20 via fe80::1 dev ens3
  RTNETLINK answers: File exists

The problem is that the duplicate nexthop detection does not compare
lwtunnel configuration. Add it.

Fixes: 19e42e451506 ("ipv6: support for fib route lwtunnel encap attributes")

<title>ipv6: Do not leak throw route references</title>

[ Upstream commit 07f615574f8ac499875b21c1142f26308234a92c ]

While commit 73ba57bfae4a ("ipv6: fix backtracking for throw routes")
does good job on error propagation to the fib_rules_lookup()
in fib rules core framework that also corrects throw routes
handling, it does not solve route reference leakage problem
happened when we return -EAGAIN to the fib_rules_lookup()
and leave routing table entry referenced in arg-&gt;result.

If rule with matched throw route isn't last matched in the
list we overwrite arg-&gt;result losing reference on throw
route stored previously forever.

We also partially revert commit ab997ad40839 ("ipv6: fix the
incorrect return value of throw route") since we never return
routing table entry with dst.error == -EAGAIN when
CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES is on. Also there is no point
to check for RTF_REJECT flag since it is always set throw
route.

<title>ipv6: make ECMP route replacement less greedy</title>

[ Upstream commit 67e194007be08d071294456274dd53e0a04fdf90 ]

Commit 27596472473a ("ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement") introduced a
loop that removes all siblings of an ECMP route that is being
replaced. However, this loop doesn't stop when it has replaced
siblings, and keeps removing other routes with a higher metric.
We also end up triggering the WARN_ON after the loop, because after
this nsiblings &lt; 0.

Instead, stop the loop when we have taken care of all routes with the
same metric as the route being replaced.

  Reproducer:
  ===========
    #!/bin/sh

    ip netns add ns1
    ip netns add ns2
    ip -net ns1 link set lo up

    for x in 0 1 2 ; do
        ip link add veth$x netns ns2 type veth peer name eth$x netns ns1
        ip -net ns1 link set eth$x up
        ip -net ns2 link set veth$x up
    done

    ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::0 dev eth0 \
            nexthop via fe80::1 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev eth2
    ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::42 dev eth0 metric 256
    ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::43 dev eth0 metric 2048

    echo "before replace, 3 routes"
    ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00'
    echo

    ip -net ns1 -6 r c 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::4 dev eth0 \
            nexthop via fe80::5 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::6 dev eth2

    echo "after replace, only 2 routes, metric 2048 is gone"
    ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00'

[ Upstream commit 903ce4abdf374e3365d93bcb3df56c62008835ba ]

It was first reported and reproduced by Petr (thanks!) in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119581

free_percpu(rt-&gt;rt6i_pcpu) used to always happen in ip6_dst_destroy().

However, after fixing a deadlock bug in
commit 9c7370a166b4 ("ipv6: Fix a potential deadlock when creating pcpu rt"),
free_percpu() is not called before setting non_pcpu_rt-&gt;rt6i_pcpu to NULL.

It is worth to note that rt6i_pcpu is protected by table-&gt;tb6_lock.

kmemleak somehow did not report it.  We nailed it down by
observing the pcpu entries in /proc/vmallocinfo (first suggested
by Hannes, thanks!).

The error condition -EAGAIN, which is signaled by throw routes, tells
the rules framework to walk on searching for next matches. If the walk
ends and we stop walking the rules with the result of a throw route we
have to translate the error conditions to -ENETUNREACH.

This patch uses a seqlock to ensure consistency between idst-&gt;dst and
idst-&gt;cookie.  It also makes dst freeing from fib tree to undergo a
rcu grace period.

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.
