Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 5.15.y 6.1.y] ipv6: mcast: extend RCU protection in igmp6_send()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 17:12:32 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916081232.326250-1-shun.ota@miraclelinux.com> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 087c1faa594fa07a66933d750c0b2610aa1a2946 ]

igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.

Extend RCU protection so that we can safely fetch the net pointer
and avoid a potential UAF.

Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.

Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk
socket under RCU protection.

Fixes: b8ad0cbc58f7 ("[NETNS][IPV6] mcast - handle several network namespace")

[ use IP6_UPD_PO_STATS(net, idev, IPSTATS_MIB_OUT, full_len)
  instead of upstream's IP6_INC_STATS(net, idev, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS).
  Older LTS kernels do not have commit b4a11b2033b7 ("net: fix
  IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKGS increment in OutForwDatagrams"), so the legacy
  byte-based counter logic must be preserved. ]
