Eric Dumazet 6bd4f355df ipv6: kill sk_dst_lock
While testing the np->opt RCU conversion, I found that UDP/IPv6 was
using a mixture of xchg() and sk_dst_lock to protect concurrent changes
to sk->sk_dst_cache, leading to possible corruptions and crashes.

ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() uses sk_dst_check() anyway, so the simplest
way to fix the mess is to remove sk_dst_lock completely, as we did for
IPv4.

__ip6_dst_store() and ip6_dst_store() share same implementation.

sk_setup_caps() being called with socket lock being held or not,
we have to use sk_dst_set() instead of __sk_dst_set()

Note that I had to move the "np->dst_cookie = rt6_get_cookie(rt);"
in ip6_dst_store() before the sk_setup_caps(sk, dst) call.

This is because ip6_dst_store() can be called from process context,
without any lock held.

As soon as the dst is installed in sk->sk_dst_cache, dst can be freed
from another cpu doing a concurrent ip6_dst_store()

Doing the dst dereference before doing the install is needed to make
sure no use after free would trigger.

Martin KaFai Lau 45e4fd2668 ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception
This patch creates a RTF_CACHE routes only after encountering a pmtu
exception.

After ip6_rt_update_pmtu() has inserted the RTF_CACHE route to the fib6
tree, the rt->rt6i_node->fn_sernum is bumped which will fail the
ip6_dst_check() and trigger a relookup.

Martin KaFai Lau 2647a9b070 ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_gateway and RTF_ANYCAST
When creating a RTF_CACHE route, RTF_ANYCAST is set based on rt6i_dst.
Also, rt6i_gateway is always set to the nexthop while the nexthop
could be a gateway or the rt6i_dst.addr.

After removing the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src dependency in the last patch,
we also need to stop the caller from depending on rt6i_gateway and
RTF_ANYCAST.

David Miller 7026b1ddb6 netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().
On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

hannes@stressinduktion.org f60e5990d9 ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack
We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion
levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence
the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process.

ipv6 does not conform with this in three places:

1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size

2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should
   loop the packet back to the local socket

3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
   force a wrong MTU

Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting
tunnel devices.

Duan Jiong be7a010d6f ipv6: update Destination Cache entries when gateway turn into host
RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5:

	The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the
         Router flag in the received advertisement.  In those cases
         where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result
         of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the
         Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries
         for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as
         specified in Section 7.3.3.  This is needed to detect when a
         node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to
         being configured as a host.

Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from
TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List,
and don't update the Destination Cache entries.

Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce
function rt6_clean_tohost().

FX Le Bail 509aba3b0d IPv6: add the option to use anycast addresses as source addresses in echo reply

- Add "anycast_src_echo_reply" sysctl to control the use of anycast addresses
  as source addresses for ICMPv6 echo reply. This sysctl is false by default
  to preserve existing behavior.
- Add inline check ipv6_anycast_destination().
- Use them in icmpv6_echo_reply().

2.1.6. Anycast Traffic Identification and Security

   To avoid exposing knowledge about the internal structure of the
   network, it is recommended that anycast servers now take advantage of
   the ability to return responses with the anycast address as the
   source address if possible.

Julian Anastasov 96dc809514 ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present
In v3.9 6fd6ce2056 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in
ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2()
such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used
instead of an assigned neighbor.

As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed
routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and
RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing
compared to the destination address.

Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC
route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway
in rt6_nexthop().

Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if
present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is
not wrongly diverted to the destination address.

Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the
problematic commit.

David S. Miller 81aded2467 ipv6: Handle PMTU in ICMP error handlers.
One tricky issue on the ipv6 side vs. ipv4 is that the ICMP callouts
to handle the error pass the 32-bit info cookie in network byte order
whereas ipv4 passes it around in host byte order.

Like the ipv4 side, we have two helper functions.  One for when we
have a socket context and one for when we do not.

ip6ip6 tunnels are not handled here, because they handle PMTU events
by essentially relaying another ICMP packet-too-big message back to
the original sender.

This patch allows us to get rid of rt6_do_pmtu_disc().  It handles all
kinds of situations that simply cannot happen when we do the PMTU
update directly using a fully resolved route.

In fact, the "plen == 128" check in ip6_rt_update_pmtu() can very
likely be removed or changed into a BUG_ON() check.  We should never
have a prefixed ipv6 route when we get there.

Another piece of strange history here is that TCP and DCCP, unlike in
ipv4, never invoke the update_pmtu() method from their ICMP error
handlers.  This is incredibly astonishing since this is the context
where we have the most accurate context in which to make a PMTU
update, namely we have a fully connected socket and associated cached
socket route.

for a specific IPv6-Route. It can be set via a netlink message
setting RTA_PREFSRC to a valid IPv6 address which must be
up on the device the route will be bound to.

David Stevens ad0081e43a ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed.
This patch modifies IPsec6 to fragment IPv6 packets that are
locally generated as needed.

This version of the patch only fragments in tunnel mode, so that fragment
headers will not be obscured by ESP in transport mode.

Eric Dumazet b6c6712a42 net: sk_dst_cache RCUification
With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.

sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)

This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)

This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.

__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))

This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.
