4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ee60ad219f5c7c4fb2f047f88037770063ef785f ]
The race occurs in __mkroute_output() when 2 threads lookup a dst:
CPU A CPU B
find_exception()
find_exception() [fnhe expires]
ip_del_fnhe() [fnhe is deleted]
rt_bind_exception()
In rt_bind_exception() it will bind a deleted fnhe with the new dst, and
this dst will get no chance to be freed. It causes a dev defcnt leak and
consecutive dmesg warnings:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethX to become free. Usage count = 1
Especially thanks Jon to identify the issue.
This patch fixes it by setting fnhe_daddr to 0 in ip_del_fnhe() to stop
binding the deleted fnhe with a new dst when checking fnhe's fnhe_daddr
and daddr in rt_bind_exception().
It works as both ip_del_fnhe() and rt_bind_exception() are protected by
fnhe_lock and the fhne is freed by kfree_rcu().
Fixes: deed49df7390 ("route: check and remove route cache when we get route")
