ipv6: Use global sernum for dst validation with nexthop objects
Nik reported a bug with pcpu dst cache when nexthop objects are used illustrated by the following: $ ip netns add foo $ ip -netns foo li set lo up $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:11::1/128 dev lo $ ip netns exec foo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 $ ip li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2 $ ip li set veth1 up $ ip addr add 2001:db8:10::1/64 dev veth1 $ ip li set dev veth2 netns foo $ ip -netns foo li set veth2 up $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:10::2/64 dev veth2 $ ip -6 nexthop add id 100 via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1 $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100 Create a pcpu entry on cpu 0: $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1 Re-add the route entry: $ ip -6 ro del 2001:db8:11::1 $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100 Route get on cpu 0 returns the stale pcpu: $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1 RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable While cpu 1 works: $ taskset -a -c 1 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1 2001:db8:11::1 from :: via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1 src 2001:db8:10::1 metric 1024 pref medium Conversion of FIB entries to work with external nexthop objects missed an important difference between IPv4 and IPv6 - how dst entries are invalidated when the FIB changes. IPv4 has a per-network namespace generation id (rt_genid) that is bumped on changes to the FIB. Checking if a dst_entry is still valid means comparing rt_genid in the rtable to the current value of rt_genid for the namespace. IPv6 also has a per network namespace counter, fib6_sernum, but the count is saved per fib6_node. With the per-node counter only dst_entries based on fib entries under the node are invalidated when changes are made to the routes - limiting the scope of invalidations. IPv6 uses a reference in the rt6_info, 'from', to track the corresponding fib entry used to create the dst_entry. When validating a dst_entry, the 'from' is used to backtrack to the fib6_node and check the sernum of it to the cookie passed to the dst_check operation. With the inline format (nexthop definition inline with the fib6_info), dst_entries cached in the fib6_nh have a 1:1 correlation between fib entries, nexthop data and dst_entries. With external nexthops, IPv6 looks more like IPv4 which means multiple fib entries across disparate fib6_nodes can all reference the same fib6_nh. That means validation of dst_entries based on external nexthops needs to use the IPv4 format - the per-network namespace counter. Add sernum to rt6_info and set it when creating a pcpu dst entry. Update rt6_get_cookie to return sernum if it is set and update dst_check for IPv6 to look for sernum set and based the check on it if so. Finally, rt6_get_pcpu_route needs to validate the cached entry before returning a pcpu entry (similar to the rt_cache_valid calls in __mkroute_input and __mkroute_output for IPv4). This problem only affects routes using the new, external nexthops. Thanks to the kbuild test robot for catching the IS_ENABLED needed around rt_genid_ipv6 before I sent this out.
