Subject: [PATCH 6.18 019/109] rose: restart the link of a neighbour created over a live AX.25 connection
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:00:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028165942.818073050@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028165942.357251485@linuxfoundation.org>

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bernard Pidoux <bernard.f6bvp@gmail.com>

A new neighbour starts with restarted == 0 and waits for the first frame
sent to it to start the restart procedure. But when a neighbour is
removed from the routing tables and added back (SIOCDELRT then
SIOCADDRT, or SIOCRSCLRRT followed by a reload of the routes), the AX.25
connection to it outlives the old entry. The other end has seen nothing:
it still regards the link as restarted and will not restart it. On this
end rose_get_neigh() only hands out restarted neighbours to through
calls, so no frame is ever sent to the new neighbour and nothing starts
the restart either. Every call relayed through that neighbour is then
refused until one of the two ends happens to originate a call of its own
over the link, or the AX.25 connection drops.

This happens on a relay node each time its routing daemon restarts: FPAC
clears and reloads the routes, the neighbours come back as "restart no"
while /proc/net/ax25 still shows their connections established.

When rose_add_node() creates a neighbour and an AX.25 connection to it
already exists, send the RESTART REQUEST right away and start T0, as
rose_transmit_link() does for the first frame. Nothing changes when
there is no connection yet: the link is still brought up on demand.

Tested in QEMU with a lockdep and KASAN kernel, three nodes A - B - C
with A calling C through B, then B removing and re-adding its route to
C (or clearing and reloading all its routes): before, the neighbour
stays "restart no" on B and A's calls to C are refused for as long as
the test runs; after, the neighbour is restarted within three seconds
and the first call goes through. No lockdep, KASAN or refcount report.
