Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: Fix traffic triggered IPsec connections.
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2017 08:39:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171009063943.GG3149@secunet.com> (raw)
A recent patch removed the dst_free() on the allocated
dst_entry in ipv6_blackhole_route(). The dst_free() marked
the dst_entry as dead and added it to the gc list. I.e. it
was setup for a one time usage. As a result we may now have
a blackhole route cached at a socket on some IPsec scenarios.
This makes the connection unusable.
Fix this by marking the dst_entry directly at allocation time
as 'dead', so it is used only once.
Fixes: 587fea741134 ("ipv6: mark DST_NOGC and remove the operation of dst_free()")
