[PATCH 6.1 09/92] gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 3e6a0243ff002ddbd7ee18a8974ae61d2e6ed00d ]

Use addrconf_addr_gen() to generate IPv6 link-local addresses on GRE
devices in most cases and fall back to using add_v4_addrs() only in
case the GRE configuration is incompatible with addrconf_addr_gen().

GRE used to use addrconf_addr_gen() until commit e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre:
use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address")
restricted this use to gretap and ip6gretap devices, and created
add_v4_addrs() (borrowed from SIT) for non-Ethernet GRE ones.

The original problem came when commit 9af28511be10 ("addrconf: refuse
isatap eui64 for INADDR_ANY") made __ipv6_isatap_ifid() fail when its
addr parameter was 0. The commit says that this would create an invalid
address, however, I couldn't find any RFC saying that the generated
interface identifier would be wrong. Anyway, since gre over IPv4
devices pass their local tunnel address to __ipv6_isatap_ifid(), that
commit broke their IPv6 link-local address generation when the local
address was unspecified.

Then commit e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT
interfaces when computing v6LL address") tried to fix that case by
defining add_v4_addrs() and calling it to generate the IPv6 link-local
address instead of using addrconf_addr_gen() (apart for gretap and
ip6gretap devices, which would still use the regular
addrconf_addr_gen(), since they have a MAC address).

That broke several use cases because add_v4_addrs() isn't properly
integrated into the rest of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery code. Several of
these shortcomings have been fixed over time, but add_v4_addrs()
remains broken on several aspects. In particular, it doesn't send any
Router Sollicitations, so the SLAAC process doesn't start until the
interface receives a Router Advertisement. Also, add_v4_addrs() mostly
ignores the address generation mode of the interface
(/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/addr_gen_mode), thus breaking the
IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_RANDOM and IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY cases.

Fix the situation by using add_v4_addrs() only in the specific scenario
where the normal method would fail. That is, for interfaces that have
all of the following characteristics:

  * run over IPv4,
  * transport IP packets directly, not Ethernet (that is, not gretap
    interfaces),
  * tunnel endpoint is INADDR_ANY (that is, 0),
  * device address generation mode is EUI64.

In all other cases, revert back to the regular addrconf_addr_gen().

Also, remove the special case for ip6gre interfaces in add_v4_addrs(),
since ip6gre devices now always use addrconf_addr_gen() instead.

Note:
  This patch was originally applied as commit 183185a18ff9 ("gre: Fix
  IPv6 link-local address generation."). However, it was then reverted
  by commit fc486c2d060f ("Revert "gre: Fix IPv6 link-local address
  generation."") because it uncovered another bug that ended up
  breaking net/forwarding/ip6gre_custom_multipath_hash.sh. That other
  bug has now been fixed by commit 4d0ab3a6885e ("ipv6: Start path
  selection from the first nexthop"). Therefore we can now revive this
  GRE patch (no changes since original commit 183185a18ff9 ("gre: Fix
  IPv6 link-local address generation.").
