4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a2d6cbb0670d54806f18192cb0db266b4a6d285a ] addrconf_ifdown() removes elements from the idev->addr_list without holding the idev->lock. If this happens while the loop in __ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is handling the same element, that function ends up in an infinite loop: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23s! [test:1719] Call Trace: ipv6_get_saddr_eval+0x13c/0x3a0 __ipv6_dev_get_saddr+0xe4/0x1f0 ipv6_dev_get_saddr+0x1b4/0x204 ip6_dst_lookup_tail+0xcc/0x27c ip6_dst_lookup_flow+0x38/0x80 udpv6_sendmsg+0x708/0xba8 sock_sendmsg+0x18/0x30 SyS_sendto+0xb8/0xf8 syscall_common+0x34/0x58 Fixes: 6a923934c33 (Revert "ipv6: Revert optional address flusing on ifdown.")
