ipv6: fix locking issues with loops over idev->addr_list

2022-06-14T16:11:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 51454ea42c1ab4e0c2828bb0d4d53957976980de ] idev->addr_list needs to be protected by idev->lock. However, it is not always possible to do so while iterating and performing actions on inet6_ifaddr instances. For example, multiple functions (like addrconf_{join,leave}_anycast) eventually call down to other functions that acquire the idev->lock. The current code temporarily unlocked the idev->lock during the loops, which can cause race conditions. Moving the locks up is also not an appropriate solution as the ordering of lock acquisition will be inconsistent with for example mc_lock. This solution adds an additional field to inet6_ifaddr that is used to temporarily add the instances to a temporary list while holding idev->lock. The temporary list can then be traversed without holding idev->lock. This change was done in two places. In addrconf_ifdown, the list_for_each_entry_safe variant of the list loop is also no longer necessary as there is no deletion within that specific loop.

net/ipv6: Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable

2018-11-03T06:54:56+00:00

icmp6_send() function is expensive on systems with a large number of interfaces. Every time it’s called, it has to verify that the source address does not correspond to an existing anycast address by looping through every device and every anycast address on the device. This can result in significant delays for a CPU when there are a large number of neighbors and ND timers are frequently timing out and calling neigh_invalidate(). Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable to allow quick searching for matching anycast addresses. This is based on inet6_addr_lst in addrconf.c.

net/ipv6: Add support for specifying metric of connected routes

2018-05-29T14:12:45+00:00

Add support for IFA_RT_PRIORITY to ipv6 addresses. If the metric is changed on an existing address then the new route is inserted before removing the old one. Since the metric is one of the route keys, the prefix route can not be atomically replaced. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

2017-07-04T08:29:04+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.
