Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv4: fib: fix route re-dump in inet_dump_fib() on multi-batch dump
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:56:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626085636.1524451-1-zhangfeionline@gmail.com> (raw)

inet_dump_fib() saves its progress in cb->args[1] as a positional
index within the current hash chain.  Between batches, a concurrent
fib_new_table() can insert a new table at the chain head, shifting
all existing entries.  On resume the saved index lands on a different
table, causing already-dumped tables to be re-dumped and the
originally suspended table to restart from the beginning.

Fix by storing tb->tb_id in cb->args[1] instead of a positional
index, mirroring the fix applied to inet6_dump_fib().

Fixes: 1b43af5480c3 ("[IPV6]: Increase number of possible routing tables to 2^32")

Consider a hash slot containing two tables [A(pos=0), B(pos=1)] where
B is large enough to require multiple batches.  On the first batch, B
suspends mid-walk and the loop saves:

  cb->args[1] = e;   /* e=1, position of B in the chain */

The lock is then released.  At this point a concurrent fib_new_table()
inserts table C at the chain head via hlist_add_head_rcu(), making the
chain [C(pos=0), A(pos=1), B(pos=2)].

On the next batch, inet_dump_fib() resumes with s_e=1 and iterates:

  s_e = cb->args[1];   /* s_e = 1 */
  hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(tb, head, tb_hlist) {
      if (e < s_e)     /* skip C at pos=0 */
          goto next;
      /* e=1: tb now points to A, not B */
      if (dumped)
          memset(...);  /* resets B's suspended progress */
      fib_table_dump(tb, ...);   /* re-dumps A from scratch */
      dumped = 1;
      /* e=2: tb now points to B */
      fib_table_dump(tb, ...);   /* re-dumps B from beginning */
  }

Routes from A are dumped twice, and the portion of B that was already
dumped in the first batch is dumped again.
