From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c3b4c3a47e05d5fecf7354d75824a9d1b37f3e84 ] In decode_session{4,6} there is a possibility that the skb dst dev is NULL, e,g, with tunnel collect_md mode, which will cause kernel crash. Here is what the code path looks like, for GRE: - ip6gre_tunnel_xmit - ip6gre_xmit_ipv6 - __gre6_xmit - ip6_tnl_xmit - if skb->len - t->tun_hlen - eth_hlen > mtu; return -EMSGSIZE - icmpv6_send - icmpv6_route_lookup - xfrm_decode_session_reverse - decode_session4 - oif = skb_dst(skb)->dev->ifindex; <-- here - decode_session6 - oif = skb_dst(skb)->dev->ifindex; <-- here The reason is __metadata_dst_init() init dst->dev to NULL by default. We could not fix it in __metadata_dst_init() as there is no dev supplied. On the other hand, the skb_dst(skb)->dev is actually not needed as we called decode_session{4,6} via xfrm_decode_session_reverse(), so oif is not used by: fl4->flowi4_oif = reverse ? skb->skb_iif : oif; So make a dst dev check here should be clean and safe. v4: No changes. v3: No changes. v2: fix the issue in decode_session{4,6} instead of updating shared dst dev in {ip_md, ip6}_tunnel_xmit.
