Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] ipv6: mcast: fix RCU list diversion in ip6_mc_del1_src()
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 10:37:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826103711.3302915-2-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826103711.3302915-1-edumazet@google.com>

When removing a source filter whose count reaches zero, ip6_mc_del1_src()
unlinks psf from pmc->mca_sources. If the filter was previously active,
the code moved psf directly into pmc->mca_tomb by updating psf->sf_next.

Because pmc->mca_sources is traversed locklessly under RCU (e.g. by
ipv6_chk_mcast_addr()), mutating psf->sf_next before a grace period
elapses diverts concurrent readers to the tombstone list. Consequently,
readers miss remaining active sources in pmc->mca_sources and improperly
examine deleted tombstone entries.

Fix this by allocating a new tombstone node for pmc->mca_tomb (as done
in sf_setstate()) and retiring the original psf via kfree_rcu().

Fixes: 4b200e398953 ("mld: convert ip6_sf_list to RCU")
