[ Upstream commit dbd40f318cf2f59759bd170c401adc20ba360a3e ]

Since commit 63ed8de4be81 ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting
per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected
by inet6_dev-&gt;mc_lock.

RTNL is unnecessary in terms of protection but still needed for
synchronisation between addrconf_ifdown() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Once we removed RTNL, there would be a race below, where we could
add a multicast address to a dead inet6_dev.

  CPU1                            CPU2
  ====                            ====
  addrconf_ifdown()               __ipv6_dev_mc_inc()
                                    if (idev-&gt;dead) &lt;-- false
    dead = true                       return -ENODEV;
    ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down()
      mutex_lock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
      ...
      mutex_unlock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
                                    mutex_lock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
                                    ...
                                    mutex_unlock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)

The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev-&gt;dead
under inet6_dev-&gt;mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown()
will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead.

Let's check inet6_dev-&gt;dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and
we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above
addrconf_join_solict().

pmc-&gt;idev is still used in ip6_mc_clear_src(), so as mld_clear_delrec()
does, the reference should be put after ip6_mc_clear_src() return.

[ Upstream commit a527750d877fd334de87eef81f1cb5f0f0ca3373 ]

mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.

Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.

Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net-&gt;ipv6.igmp_sk
socket under RCU protection.

When coping sockaddr in ip6_mc_msfget(), the time of copies
depends on the minimum value between sl_count and gf_numsrc.
Using min() here is very semantic.

<content type='text'>
As discussed in the past (commit 2d3916f31891 ("ipv6: fix skb drops
in igmp6_event_query() and igmp6_event_report()")) I think the
synchronize_net() call in ipv6_mc_down() is not needed.

Under load, synchronize_net() can last between 200 usec and 5 ms.

KASAN seems to agree as well.

idev-&gt;mc_ifc_count can be written over without proper locking.

Originally found by syzbot [1], fix this issue by encapsulating calls
to mld_ifc_stop_work() (and mld_gq_stop_work() for good measure) with
mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() accordingly as these functions
should only be called with mc_lock per their declarations.

VM1&lt;----&gt;VM2(latest kernel 6.5.0-rc7)&lt;----&gt;VM3
VM1: eth0 ip: 192.168.122.207 MTU 1500

VM3: eth0 ip: 192.168.123.240 MTU 1500

Reproduce:
VM1 send 1400 bytes UDP data to VM3 using tools scapy with flags=0.
scapy command:
send(IP(dst="192.168.123.240",flags=0)/UDP()/str('0'*1400),count=1,
inter=1.000000)

Result:

"ForwDatagrams" increase from 4 to 5 and "OutRequests" also increase
from 7 to 8.

Issue description and patch:
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS("OutRequests") is counted with IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS
("OutOctets") in ip_finish_output2().
According to RFC 4293, it is "OutOctets" counted with "OutTransmits" but
not "OutRequests". "OutRequests" does not include any datagrams counted
in "ForwDatagrams".
ipSystemStatsOutOctets OBJECT-TYPE
    DESCRIPTION
           "The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the
            lower layers for transmission.  Octets from datagrams
            counted in ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here.
ipSystemStatsOutRequests OBJECT-TYPE
    DESCRIPTION
           "The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-
            protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for
            transmission.  Note that this counter does not include any
            datagrams counted in ipSystemStatsOutForwDatagrams.
So do patch to define IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS to "OutTransmits" and add
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTREQUESTS for "OutRequests".
Add IPSTATS_MIB_OUTREQUESTS counter in __ip_local_out() for ipv4 and add
IPSTATS_MIB_OUT counter in ip6_finish_output2() for ipv6.

Test result with patch:
