syzbot found another use-after-free in ip6_route_mpath_notify() [1]

Commit f7225172f25a ("net/ipv6: prevent use after free in
ip6_route_mpath_notify") was not able to fix the root cause.

We need to defer the fib6_info_release() calls after
ip6_route_mpath_notify(), in the cleanup phase.

This reverts commit 3dec89b14d37ee635e772636dad3f09f78f1ab87.

The commit has some race conditions given how expires is managed on a
fib6_info in relation to gc start, adding the entry to the gc list and
setting the timer value leading to UAF. Revert the commit and try again
in a later release.

We have data-races while reading np-&gt;srcprefs

Switch the field to a plain byte, add READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE() annotations where needed,
and IPV6_ADDR_PREFERENCES setsockopt() can now be lockless.

<title>net: dst: remove unnecessary input parameter in dst_alloc and dst_init</title>

<id>urn:sha1:762c8dc7f269b748babe32dd19d2084ce1b3f31f</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 1202cdd66531("Remove DECnet support from kernel") has been
merged, all callers pass in the initial_ref value of 1 when they call
dst_alloc(). Therefore, remove initial_ref when the dst_alloc() is
declared and replace initial_ref with 1 in dst_alloc().
Also when all callers call dst_init(), the value of initial_ref is 1.
Therefore, remove the input parameter initial_ref of the dst_init() and
replace initial_ref with the value 1 in dst_init.

<title>ipv6: ignore dst hint for multipath routes</title>

Route hints when the nexthop is part of a multipath group causes packets
in the same receive batch to be sent to the same nexthop irrespective of
the multipath hash of the packet. So, do not extract route hint for
packets whose destination is part of a multipath group.

A new SKB flag IP6SKB_MULTIPATH is introduced for this purpose, set the
flag when route is looked up in fib6_select_path() and use it in
ip6_can_use_hint() to check for the existence of the flag.

Fixes: 197dbf24e360 ("ipv6: introduce and uses route look hints for list input.")

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c
  arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help
  avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're
  going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and
  try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each
  array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new
  sentinel with each array moved.

  Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves
  of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new
  move.

  The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl
  is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot
  of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying
  to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels.
  Although Joel already has code which does most of this work,
  experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be
  careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to
  the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.

  To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major
  housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this
  merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels
  will be done later in future kernel releases.

  The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall
  build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the
  kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each
  sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the
  kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels
  are created"

<title>net: remove unnecessary input parameter 'how' in ifdown function</title>

When the ifdown function in the dst_ops structure is referenced, the input
parameter 'how' is always true. In the current implementation of the
ifdown interface, ip6_dst_ifdown does not use the input parameter 'how',
xfrm6_dst_ifdown and xfrm4_dst_ifdown functions use the input parameter
'unregister'. But false judgment on 'unregister' in xfrm6_dst_ifdown and
xfrm4_dst_ifdown is false, so remove the input parameter 'how' in ifdown
function.

<title>ipv6: do not match device when remove source route</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b358f57f7db620f5c25e60d70015f4e4bb050688'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b358f57f7db620f5c25e60d70015f4e4bb050688</id>
<content type='text'>
After deleting an IPv6 address on an interface and cleaning up the
related preferred source entries, it is important to ensure that all
routes associated with the deleted address are properly cleared. The
current implementation of rt6_remove_prefsrc() only checks the preferred
source addresses bound to the current device. However, there may be
routes that are bound to other devices but still utilize the same
preferred source address.

To address this issue, it is necessary to also delete entries that are
bound to other interfaces but share the same source address with the
current device. Failure to delete these entries would leave routes that
are bound to the deleted address unclear. Here is an example reproducer
(I have omitted unrelated routes):

+ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
+ ip link add dummy2 type dummy
+ ip link set dummy1 up
+ ip link set dummy2 up
+ ip addr add 1:2:3:4::5/64 dev dummy1
+ ip route add 7:7:7:0::1 dev dummy1 src 1:2:3:4::5
+ ip route add 7:7:7:0::2 dev dummy2 src 1:2:3:4::5
+ ip -6 route show
1:2:3:4::/64 dev dummy1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
7:7:7::1 dev dummy1 src 1:2:3:4::5 metric 1024 pref medium
7:7:7::2 dev dummy2 src 1:2:3:4::5 metric 1024 pref medium
+ ip addr del 1:2:3:4::5/64 dev dummy1
+ ip -6 route show
7:7:7::1 dev dummy1 metric 1024 pref medium
7:7:7::2 dev dummy2 src 1:2:3:4::5 metric 1024 pref medium

As Ido reminds, in IPv6, the preferred source address is looked up in
the same VRF as the first nexthop device, which is different with IPv4.
So, while removing the device checking, we also need to add an
ipv6_chk_addr() check to make sure the address does not exist on the other
devices of the rt nexthop device's VRF.

After fix:
+ ip addr del 1:2:3:4::5/64 dev dummy1
+ ip -6 route show
7:7:7::1 dev dummy1 metric 1024 pref medium
7:7:7::2 dev dummy2 metric 1024 pref medium

<title>net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a separated list of routes.</title>

FIB6 GC walks trees of fib6_tables to remove expired routes. Walking a tree
can be expensive if the number of routes in a table is big, even if most of
them are permanent. Checking routes in a separated list of routes having
expiration will avoid this potential issue.
