amt_update_handler() refreshes a relay tunnel's garbage-collection timer
with mod_delayed_work(&tunnel->gc_wq, ...) on a tunnel found by a lockless
list_for_each_entry_rcu() walk, holding only rcu_read_lock(). Nothing
serialises this against amt_tunnel_expire(), which runs from that same
gc_wq: once expire has taken amt->lock, done list_del_rcu() and queued
kfree_rcu(), a concurrent Update that already cached the tunnel pointer
re-arms gc_wq on an object that is about to be freed. After the grace
period the delayed_work timer is left armed in freed memory, so it fires
into a use-after-free (and double-list_del_rcu/nr_tunnels underflow on the
way).
Make amt_tunnel_expire() the only context that frees a tunnel on the
timeout path and let it re-arm itself: the Update path only stamps
tunnel->last_seen, and expire re-reads last_seen under amt->lock to decide
whether to re-arm or free. The Update path therefore never touches gc_wq,
so it can no longer re-queue the work of a tunnel being torn down.
amt_dev_stop() is the other freer, and it walked tunnel_list without
amt->lock while a running gc_wq could free the next entry under it. Mark
every tunnel dead under amt->lock first, so a gc_wq that is already
running sees ->dead and bails instead of freeing in parallel; then unlink
the tunnels one at a time with list_del_rcu() under amt->lock, and cancel,
clear and free each one outside it. The tunnel is freed exactly once, and
because readers walk tunnel_list locklessly under RCU, the entries are
unlinked in place rather than spliced onto a local list head.

A gateway's amt_rcv() admits a Membership Query or Multicast Data message
when "saddr != remote_ip" is false. remote_ip is 0 before discovery has
learned a relay (and is reset to 0 by amt_dev_open() and when discovery
gives up), so a packet whose source is 0.0.0.0 -- for example a
0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255 broadcast delivered to the socket -- satisfies
0 != 0 and is accepted. With the nonce freshly reset to 0, a spoofed
Query is then taken as genuine: it sets ready4/qi and the response MAC and
suppresses rediscovery until the discovery timeout, and a spoofed Data
message is injected the same way.
Reject both when no relay is learned: a 0 remote_ip must match nothing, so
guard the check with !remote_ip. Discovery is unaffected -- Relay
Advertisements are validated against discovery_ip, not remote_ip.

The netlink policy for IFLA_AMT_LOCAL_IP and IFLA_AMT_DISCOVERY_IP is an
untyped entry with .len set to the size of an IPv4 address, which netlink
validation treats as a minimum length only. Any longer payload passes,
and nla_get_in_addr() then reads just its first four bytes: an iproute2
that puts a 16-byte IPv6 literal in one of these IPv4 attributes turns
"2001:db8::" into 32.1.13.184, and the device is created with an address
the user never asked for.
Use NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(sizeof(__be32)) for both, so every payload that
is not exactly four bytes long is refused with a standard extack instead
of being truncated. The range check this expands to fails the attribute
even under the liberal parsing rtnetlink applies to IFLA_INFO_DATA.
amt_get_size() and amt_fill_info() already emit exactly four bytes for
these attributes. IFLA_AMT_REMOTE_IP is only ever reported, never read
from a request, so it is left unchanged.

A gateway cannot forward an IGMP or MLD report until it has received the
relay's Membership Query for that family. The Query supplies the
response MAC the Update echoes, so dropping an early report is required,
but doing so silently leaves operators with a dark multicast path and no
indication why the join never happened.
Emit a family-specific debug message before taking the drop path.
tx_dropped could not show these drops either: amt_dev_xmit() reaches the
same tx_dropped increment after amt_send_membership_update() has handed
the report to the tunnel, so in gateway mode every forwarded report was
also counted as a drop. Return NETDEV_TX_OK directly once the report has
been sent, so tx_dropped counts only reports that were discarded.
The device is LLTX, so amt_dev_xmit() can run on several CPUs at once;
use DEV_STATS_INC() for its tx_dropped and tx_errors updates so
concurrent increments are not lost.

Keep relay Requests stateless: derive the Membership Query MAC from the
source address, source port, nonce, and current key, then authenticate the
Membership Update before decapsulating it or creating tunnel state. Key tunnel
state by the (address, port) endpoint and reject new endpoints at the global
or per-source cap without reflecting ICMP. Keep four key generations so a
gateway can renew its MAC across rotations.
Make tunnel and multicast state teardown safe against concurrent RCU readers
and delayed workers. Mark tunnels, groups, and sources dead under their locks;
have group and source workers hold RCU while finding their owners and checking
that state; and release the group timer's device reference on every exit path.
Recheck tunnel liveness before a Membership Update can arm group work.
A deferred gateway Query is accepted only if its relay address still matches
the current relay, and transmit error/drop counters use the concurrent-safe
netdev statistics helpers.

Hi!
This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:
- Whether the issue was actually triggered, or is only theoretical
(e.g. found by code inspection). If it was triggered please include
the symptoms, like the stack trace or error messages.
Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.
The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
