[ Upstream commit a98f91758995cb59611e61318dddd8a6956b52c3 ]

By setting certain socket options on ipv6 raw sockets, we can confuse the
length calculation in rawv6_push_pending_frames triggering a BUG_ON.

<title>ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np-&gt;opt</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch addresses multiple problems :

UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions
while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np-&gt;opt
concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller
(http://github.com/google/syzkaller) program desmonstrating
use-after-free.

Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection
to dereference np-&gt;opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options())

This patch adds full RCU protection to np-&gt;opt

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

<id>0c4b51f0054ce85c0ec578ab818f0631834573eb</id>

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.

Add support to allow non-local binds similar to how this was done for IPv4.
Non-local binds are very useful in emulating the Internet in a box, etc.

This add the ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl under ipv6.

Testing:

Set up nonlocal binding and receive routing on a host, e.g.:

ip -6 rule add from ::/0 iif eth0 lookup 200
ip -6 route add local 2001:0:0:1::/64 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 200
sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1

Set up routing to 2001:0:0:1::/64 on peer to go to first host

ping6 -I 2001:0:0:1::1 peer-address -- to verify

Delete jump to a label on the next line, when that label is not
used elsewhere.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

<title>ipv6: Set FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH at flowi6_flags</title>

The neighbor look-up used to depend on the rt6i_gateway (if
there is a gateway) or the rt6i_dst (if it is a RTF_CACHE clone)
as the nexthop address.  Note that rt6i_dst is set to fl6-&gt;daddr
for the RTF_CACHE clone where fl6-&gt;daddr is the one used to do
the route look-up.

Now, we only create RTF_CACHE clone after encountering exception.
When doing the neighbor look-up with a route that is neither a gateway
nor a RTF_CACHE clone, the daddr in skb will be used as the nexthop.

In some cases, the daddr in skb is not the one used to do
the route look-up.  One example is in ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6() where the
real nexthop server address is different from the one in the skb.

This patch is going to follow the IPv4 approach and ask the
ip6_pol_route() callers to set the FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH properly.

In the next patch, ip6_pol_route() will honor the FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH
and create a RTF_CACHE clone.
