<title>net: ipv6: ensure we call ipv6_mc_down() at most once</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9995b408f17ff8c7f11bc725c8aa225ba3a63b1c</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two reasons for addrconf_notify() to be called with NETDEV_DOWN:
either the network device is actually going down, or IPv6 was disabled
on the interface.

If either of them stays down while the other is toggled, we repeatedly
call the code for NETDEV_DOWN, including ipv6_mc_down(), while never
calling the corresponding ipv6_mc_up() in between. This will cause a
new entry in idev-&gt;mc_tomb to be allocated for each multicast group
the interface is subscribed to, which in turn leaks one struct ifmcaddr6
per nontrivial multicast group the interface is subscribed to.

The following reproducer will leak at least $n objects:

ip addr add ff2e::4242/32 dev eth0 autojoin
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1
for i in $(seq 1 $n); do
	ip link set up eth0; ip link set down eth0
done

Joining groups with IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP (unprivileged) or setting the
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.forwarding to 1 (=&gt; subscribing to ff02::2)
can also be used to create a nontrivial idev-&gt;mc_list, which will the
leak objects with the right up-down-sequence.

Based on both sources for NETDEV_DOWN events the interface IPv6 state
should be considered:

 - not ready if the network interface is not ready OR IPv6 is disabled
   for it
 - ready if the network interface is ready AND IPv6 is enabled for it

The functions ipv6_mc_up() and ipv6_down() should only be run when this
state changes.

Implement this by remembering when the IPv6 state is ready, and only
run ipv6_mc_down() if it actually changed from ready to not ready.

The other direction (not ready -&gt; ready) already works correctly, as:

 - the interface notification triggered codepath for NETDEV_UP /
   NETDEV_CHANGE returns early if ipv6 is disabled, and
 - the disable_ipv6=0 triggered codepath skips fully initializing the
   interface as long as addrconf_link_ready(dev) returns false
 - calling ipv6_mc_up() repeatedly does not leak anything

Fixes: 3ce62a84d53c ("ipv6: exit early in addrconf_notify() if IPv6 is disabled")

<title>net: Add new protocol attribute to IP addresses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:47f0bd5032106469827cf56c8b45bb9101112105</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a new protocol attribute to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Inspiration was taken from the protocol attribute of routes. User space
applications like iproute2 can set/get the protocol with the Netlink API.

The attribute is stored as an 8-bit unsigned integer.

The protocol attribute is set by kernel for these categories:

- IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses
- IPv6 addresses generated from router announcements
- IPv6 link local addresses

User space may pass custom protocols, not defined by the kernel.

Grouping addresses on their origin is useful in scenarios where you want
to distinguish between addresses based on who added them, e.g. kernel
vs. user space.

Tagging addresses with a string label is an existing feature that could be
used as a solution. Unfortunately the max length of a label is
15 characters, and for compatibility reasons the label must be prefixed
with the name of the device followed by a colon. Since device names also
have a max length of 15 characters, only -1 characters is guaranteed to be
available for any origin tag, which is not that much.

A reference implementation of user space setting and getting protocols
is available for iproute2:

Before freeing the hash table in addrconf_exit_net(),
we need to make sure the work queue has completed,
or risk NULL dereference or UAF.

Thus, use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to enforce this.
We do not hold RTNL in addrconf_exit_net(), making this safe.

Whenever rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() swaps rt-&gt;rt6_idev
to the blackhole device, parts of IPv6 stack might still need
to increment one SNMP counter.

Root cause, patch from Ido, changelog from Eric :)

This bug suggests that we need to audit rt-&gt;rt6_idev usages
and make sure they are properly using RCU protection.

<id>urn:sha1:26394fc118d6115390bd5b3a0fb17096271da227</id>
<content type='text'>
Some time ago 8965779d2c0e ("ipv6,mcast: always hold idev-&gt;lock before mca_lock")
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev-&gt;lock was held for these codepaths.

In 88e2ca308094 ("mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU") these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.

Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following
in dmesg:

IPv6 addrconf notifiers wants the loopback device to
be the last device being dismantled at netns deletion.

This caused many limitations and work arounds.

Back in linux-5.3, Mahesh added a per host blackhole_netdev
that can be used whenever we need to make sure objects no longer
refer to a disappearing device.

If we attach to blackhole_netdev an ip6_ptr (allocate an idev),
then we can use this special device (which is never freed)
in place of the loopback_dev (which can be freed).

This will permit improvements in netdev_run_todo() and other parts
of the stack where had steps to make sure loopback_dev was
the last device to disappear.
