It fix the bug 67951 on bugzilla
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67951

The patch can't be applied directly, as it' used the function introduced
by "commit 94e187c0" ip6_rt_put(), that patch can't be applied directly
either.

commit 33d99113b1102c2d2f8603b9ba72d89d915c13f5 upstream.

This commit don't have a stable tag, but it fix the bug
no reply after loopback down-up.It's very worthy to be
applied to stable 3.4 kernels.

The bug is 67951 on bugzilla

[ Upstream commit ecab67015ef6e3f3635551dcc9971cf363cc1cd5 ]

tmp_prefered_lft is an offset to ifp-&gt;tstamp, not now. Therefore
age needs to be added to the condition.

Age calculation in ipv6_create_tempaddr is different from the one
in addrconf_verify and doesn't consider ADDRCONF_TIMER_FUZZ_MINUS.
This can cause age in ipv6_create_tempaddr to be less than the one
in addrconf_verify and therefore unnecessary temporary address to
be generated.
Use age calculation as in addrconf_modify to avoid this.

<title>ipv6: remove max_addresses check from ipv6_create_tempaddr</title>

[ Upstream commit 4b08a8f1bd8cb4541c93ec170027b4d0782dab52 ]

Because of the max_addresses check attackers were able to disable privacy
extensions on an interface by creating enough autoconfigured addresses:

&lt;http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q4/292&gt;

But the check is not actually needed: max_addresses protects the
kernel to install too many ipv6 addresses on an interface and guards
addrconf_prefix_rcv to install further addresses as soon as this limit
is reached. We only generate temporary addresses in direct response of
a new address showing up. As soon as we filled up the maximum number of
addresses of an interface, we stop installing more addresses and thus
also stop generating more temp addresses.

Even if the attacker tries to generate a lot of temporary addresses
by announcing a prefix and removing it again (lifetime == 0) we won't
install more temp addresses, because the temporary addresses do count
to the maximum number of addresses, thus we would stop installing new
autoconfigured addresses when the limit is reached.

This patch fixes CVE-2013-0343 (but other layer-2 attacks are still
possible).

Thanks to Ding Tianhong to bring this topic up again.

actually we can just hold idev-&gt;lock before taking pmc-&gt;mca_lock,
and avoid taking idev-&gt;lock again when iterating idev-&gt;addr_list,
since the upper callers of mld_newpack() already take
read_lock_bh(&amp;idev-&gt;lock).

actually we can just hold idev-&gt;lock before taking pmc-&gt;mca_lock,
and avoid taking idev-&gt;lock again when iterating idev-&gt;addr_list,
since the upper callers of mld_newpack() already take
read_lock_bh(&amp;idev-&gt;lock).

[ Upstream commit a881ae1f625c599b460cc8f8a7fcb1c438f699ad ]

If we disable all of the net interfaces, and enable
un-lo interface before lo interface, we already allocated
the addrconf dst in ipv6_add_addr. So we shouldn't allocate
it again when we enable lo interface.

Otherwise the message below will be triggered.
unregister_netdevice: waiting for sit1 to become free. Usage count = 1

[ Upstream commit 25fb6ca4ed9cad72f14f61629b68dc03c0d9713f ]

IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
'lo' are lost.

IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from routing
table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when 'lo' is
brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable from the
same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines because of
NDISC packet processing failure.

This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and adding
them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.

[ Upstream commit 85da53bf1c336bb07ac038fb951403ab0478d2c5 ]

The tests on the flags in addrconf_get_prefix_route() does no make
much sense: the 'noflags' parameter contains the set of flags that
must not match with the route flags, so the test must be done
against 'noflags', and not against 'flags'.

[ Upstream commit 4acd4945cd1e1f92b20d14e349c6c6a52acbd42d ]

Cong Wang reports that lockdep detected suspicious RCU usage while
enabling IPV6 forwarding:

addrconf_forward_change() uses RCU iteration over the netdev list,
which is unnecessary since it already holds the RTNL lock.  We also
cannot reasonably require netdevice notifier functions not to sleep.
