[ Upstream commit fd63f185979b047fb22a0dfc6bd94d0cab6a6a70 ]

The mentioned helper try to warn the user about an exceptional
condition, but the message is delivered too late, accessing the ipv6
after its possible deletion.

Reorder the statement to avoid the possible UaF; while at it, place the
warning outside the idev-&gt;lock as it needs no protection.

[ Upstream commit 7ac6ea4a3e0898db76aecccd68fb2c403eb7d24e ]

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.

<title>ipv6: fix race condition between ipv6_get_ifaddr and ipv6_del_addr</title>

[ Upstream commit 7633c4da919ad51164acbf1aa322cc1a3ead6129 ]

Although ipv6_get_ifaddr walks inet6_addr_lst under the RCU lock, it
still means hlist_for_each_entry_rcu can return an item that got removed
from the list. The memory itself of such item is not freed thanks to RCU
but nothing guarantees the actual content of the memory is sane.

In particular, the reference count can be zero. This can happen if
ipv6_del_addr is called in parallel. ipv6_del_addr removes the entry
from inet6_addr_lst (hlist_del_init_rcu(&amp;ifp-&gt;addr_lst)) and drops all
references (__in6_ifa_put(ifp) + in6_ifa_put(ifp)). With bad enough
timing, this can happen:

1. In ipv6_get_ifaddr, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu returns an entry.

2. Then, the whole ipv6_del_addr is executed for the given entry. The
   reference count drops to zero and kfree_rcu is scheduled.

3. ipv6_get_ifaddr continues and tries to increments the reference count
   (in6_ifa_hold).

4. The rcu is unlocked and the entry is freed.

5. The freed entry is returned.

Prevent increasing of the reference count in such case. The name
in6_ifa_hold_safe is chosen to mimic the existing fib6_info_hold_safe.

[ Upstream commit 7633c4da919ad51164acbf1aa322cc1a3ead6129 ]

Although ipv6_get_ifaddr walks inet6_addr_lst under the RCU lock, it
still means hlist_for_each_entry_rcu can return an item that got removed
from the list. The memory itself of such item is not freed thanks to RCU
but nothing guarantees the actual content of the memory is sane.

In particular, the reference count can be zero. This can happen if
ipv6_del_addr is called in parallel. ipv6_del_addr removes the entry
from inet6_addr_lst (hlist_del_init_rcu(&amp;ifp-&gt;addr_lst)) and drops all
references (__in6_ifa_put(ifp) + in6_ifa_put(ifp)). With bad enough
timing, this can happen:

1. In ipv6_get_ifaddr, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu returns an entry.

2. Then, the whole ipv6_del_addr is executed for the given entry. The
   reference count drops to zero and kfree_rcu is scheduled.

3. ipv6_get_ifaddr continues and tries to increments the reference count
   (in6_ifa_hold).

4. The rcu is unlocked and the entry is freed.

5. The freed entry is returned.

Prevent increasing of the reference count in such case. The name
in6_ifa_hold_safe is chosen to mimic the existing fib6_info_hold_safe.

[ Upstream commit bd4a816752bab609dd6d65ae021387beb9e2ddbd ]

Lorenzo points out that we effectively clear all unknown
flags from PIO when copying them to userspace in the netlink
RTM_NEWPREFIX notification.

We could fix this one at a time as new flags are defined,
or in one fell swoop - I choose the latter.

We could either define 6 new reserved flags (reserved1..6) and handle
them individually (and rename them as new flags are defined), or we
could simply copy the entire unmodified byte over - I choose the latter.

This unfortunately requires some anonymous union/struct magic,
so we add a static assert on the struct size for a little extra safety.
