[ Upstream commit 9f62c15f28b0d1d746734666d88a79f08ba1e43e ]

ndisc_fill_redirect_hdr_option when the incoming ipv6 packet is not
linear and the accessed data are not in the linear data region of orig_skb.

[ 1503.159964] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

The test scenario to trigger the issue consists of 4 devices:
- H0: data sender, connected to LAN0
- H1: data receiver, connected to LAN1
- GW0 and GW1: routers between LAN0 and LAN1. Both of them have an
  ethernet connection on LAN0 and LAN1
On H{0,1} set GW0 as default gateway while on GW0 set GW1 as next hop for
data from LAN0 to LAN1.
Moreover create an ip6ip6 tunnel between H0 and H1 and send 3 concurrent
data streams (TCP/UDP/SCTP) from H0 to H1 through ip6ip6 tunnel (send
buffer size is set to 16K). While data streams are active flush the route
cache on HA multiple times.
I have not been able to identify a given commit that introduced the issue
since, using the reproducer described above, the kasan report has been
triggered from 4.14 and I have not gone back further.

ndisc_notify is the ipv6 equivalent to arp_notify. When arp_notify is
set to 1, gratuitous arp requests are sent when the device is brought up.
The same is expected when ndisc_notify is set to 1 (per ndisc_notify in
Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt). The NA is not sent on NETDEV_UP
event; add it.

Marc Haber reported we don't honor interface indexes when we receive link
local router addresses in router advertisements. Luckily the non-strict
version of ipv6_chk_addr already does the correct job here, so we can
simply use it to lighten the checks and use those addresses by default
without any configuration change.

<title>Revert "ipv6: ndisc: inherit metadata dst when creating ndisc requests"</title>

This reverts commit ab450605b35caa768ca33e86db9403229bf42be4.

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.

This reverts commit ab450605b35caa768ca33e86db9403229bf42be4.

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.

As with IPv4 support for VRFs added to IPv6 stack by replacing hardcoded
table ids with possibly device specific ones and manipulating the oif in
the flowi6. The flow flags are used to skip oif compare in nexthop lookups
if the device is enslaved to a VRF via the L3 master device.

<title>netfilter: Pass net into okfn</title>

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

<title>netfilter: Pass struct net into the netfilter hooks</title>

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks.  At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.

This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state-&gt;in?:state-&gt;out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state-&gt;net".

In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.

The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume()         xs_net(skb_dst(skb)-&gt;xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont()      ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont()          ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc()                    sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit()			sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb()                   dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) not dev_net(dst-&gt;dev)
ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc()                   sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) before skb-&gt;dev is set to nf_bridge-&gt;physindev

In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)".  I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.
