ipv6: mcast: Check inet6_dev->dead under idev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

2025-08-20T16:36:07Z

[ Upstream commit dbd40f318cf2f59759bd170c401adc20ba360a3e ] Since commit 63ed8de4be81 ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected by inet6_dev->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->dead) <-- false dead = true return -ENODEV; ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down() mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock) ... mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock) mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock) ... mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock) The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev->dead under inet6_dev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown() will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead. Let's check inet6_dev->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().

gre: Fix IPv6 multicast route creation.

2025-07-17T16:43:46Z

commit 4e914ef063de40397e25a025c70d9737a9e45a8c upstream. Use addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in addrconf_gre_config() so that we don't just get the inet6_dev, but also install the default ff00::/8 multicast route. Before commit 3e6a0243ff00 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation."), the multicast route was created at the end of the function by addrconf_add_mroute(). But this code path is now only taken in one particular case (gre devices not bound to a local IP address and in EUI64 mode). For all other cases, the function exits early and addrconf_add_mroute() is not called anymore. Using addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in addrconf_gre_config(), fixes the problem as it will create the default multicast route for all gre devices. This also brings addrconf_gre_config() a bit closer to the normal netdevice IPv6 configuration code (addrconf_dev_config()).

gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation.

2025-05-06T01:08:14Z

Use addrconf_addr_gen() to generate IPv6 link-local addresses on GRE devices in most cases and fall back to using add_v4_addrs() only in case the GRE configuration is incompatible with addrconf_addr_gen(). GRE used to use addrconf_addr_gen() until commit e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address") restricted this use to gretap and ip6gretap devices, and created add_v4_addrs() (borrowed from SIT) for non-Ethernet GRE ones. The original problem came when commit 9af28511be10 ("addrconf: refuse isatap eui64 for INADDR_ANY") made __ipv6_isatap_ifid() fail when its addr parameter was 0. The commit says that this would create an invalid address, however, I couldn't find any RFC saying that the generated interface identifier would be wrong. Anyway, since gre over IPv4 devices pass their local tunnel address to __ipv6_isatap_ifid(), that commit broke their IPv6 link-local address generation when the local address was unspecified. Then commit e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address") tried to fix that case by defining add_v4_addrs() and calling it to generate the IPv6 link-local address instead of using addrconf_addr_gen() (apart for gretap and ip6gretap devices, which would still use the regular addrconf_addr_gen(), since they have a MAC address). That broke several use cases because add_v4_addrs() isn't properly integrated into the rest of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery code. Several of these shortcomings have been fixed over time, but add_v4_addrs() remains broken on several aspects. In particular, it doesn't send any Router Sollicitations, so the SLAAC process doesn't start until the interface receives a Router Advertisement. Also, add_v4_addrs() mostly ignores the address generation mode of the interface (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/addr_gen_mode), thus breaking the IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_RANDOM and IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY cases. Fix the situation by using add_v4_addrs() only in the specific scenario where the normal method would fail. That is, for interfaces that have all of the following characteristics: * run over IPv4, * transport IP packets directly, not Ethernet (that is, not gretap interfaces), * tunnel endpoint is INADDR_ANY (that is, 0), * device address generation mode is EUI64. In all other cases, revert back to the regular addrconf_addr_gen(). Also, remove the special case for ip6gre interfaces in add_v4_addrs(), since ip6gre devices now always use addrconf_addr_gen() instead. Note: This patch was originally applied as commit 183185a18ff9 ("gre: Fix IPv6 link-local address generation."). However, it was then reverted by commit fc486c2d060f ("Revert "gre: Fix IPv6 link-local address generation."") because it uncovered another bug that ended up breaking net/forwarding/ip6gre_custom_multipath_hash.sh. That other bug has now been fixed by commit 4d0ab3a6885e ("ipv6: Start path selection from the first nexthop"). Therefore we can now revive this GRE patch (no changes since original commit 183185a18ff9 ("gre: Fix IPv6 link-local address generation.").

ipv6: fix omitted netlink attributes when using RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS

2025-04-03T22:11:29Z

Using RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS is incorrectly skipping non-stats IPv6 netlink attributes on link dump. This causes issues on userspace tools, e.g iproute2 is not rendering address generation mode as it should due to missing netlink attribute. Move the filling of IFLA_INET6_STATS and IFLA_INET6_ICMP6STATS to a helper function guarded by a flag check to avoid hitting the same situation in the future.
