[ Upstream commit 8822b64a0fa64a5dd1dfcf837c5b0be83f8c05d1 ]

We accidentally call down to ip6_push_pending_frames when uncorking
pending AF_INET data on a ipv6 socket. This results in the following
splat (from Dave Jones):

This patch adds a check if the pending data is of address family AF_INET
and directly calls udp_push_ending_frames from udp_v6_push_pending_frames
if that is the case.

This bug was found by Dave Jones with trinity.

(Also move the initialization of fl6 below the AF_INET check, even if
not strictly necessary.)

actually we can just hold idev-&gt;lock before taking pmc-&gt;mca_lock,
and avoid taking idev-&gt;lock again when iterating idev-&gt;addr_list,
since the upper callers of mld_newpack() already take
read_lock_bh(&amp;idev-&gt;lock).

actually we can just hold idev-&gt;lock before taking pmc-&gt;mca_lock,
and avoid taking idev-&gt;lock again when iterating idev-&gt;addr_list,
since the upper callers of mld_newpack() already take
read_lock_bh(&amp;idev-&gt;lock).

[ Upstream commit a963a37d384d71ad43b3e9e79d68d42fbe0901f3 ]

It's possible to use AF_INET6 sockets and to connect to an IPv4
destination. After this, socket dst cache is a pointer to a rtable,
not rt6_info.

ip6_sk_dst_check() should check the socket dst cache is IPv6, or else
various corruptions/crashes can happen.

Dave Jones can reproduce immediate crash with
trinity -q -l off -n -c sendmsg -c connect

With help from Hannes Frederic Sowa

[ Upstream commit a881ae1f625c599b460cc8f8a7fcb1c438f699ad ]

If we disable all of the net interfaces, and enable
un-lo interface before lo interface, we already allocated
the addrconf dst in ipv6_add_addr. So we shouldn't allocate
it again when we enable lo interface.

Otherwise the message below will be triggered.

[ Upstream commit f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2 ]

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

<title>net: drop dst before queueing fragments</title>

[ Upstream commit 97599dc792b45b1669c3cdb9a4b365aad0232f65 ]

Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path)
added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, as non refcounted
dst could escape an RCU protected section.

Commit 64f3b9e203bd068 (net: ip_expire() must revalidate route) fixed
the case of timeouts, but not the general problem.

Tom Parkin noticed crashes in UDP stack and provided a patch,
but further analysis permitted us to pinpoint the root cause.

Before queueing a packet into a frag list, we must drop its dst,
as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected)

When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very
last skb, still protected by RCU and valid, as the dst of the
reassembled packet.

Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references.

as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected)

When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very
last skb, still protected by RCU and valid, as the dst of the
reassembled packet.

Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references.

[ Upstream commit 25fb6ca4ed9cad72f14f61629b68dc03c0d9713f ]

IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
'lo' are lost.

IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from routing
table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when 'lo' is
brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable from the
same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines because of
NDISC packet processing failure.

This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and adding
them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.
