[PATCH 4.1 09/56] neigh: do not modify unlinked entries

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

------------------

From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2c51a97f76d20ebf1f50fef908b986cb051fdff9 ]

The lockless lookups can return entry that is unlinked.
Sometimes they get reference before last neigh_cleanup_and_release,
sometimes they do not need reference. Later, any
modification attempts may result in the following problems:

1. entry is not destroyed immediately because neigh_update
can start the timer for dead entry, eg. on change to NUD_REACHABLE
state. As result, entry lives for some time but is invisible
and out of control.

2. __neigh_event_send can run in parallel with neigh_destroy
while refcnt=0 but if timer is started and expired refcnt can
reach 0 for second time leading to second neigh_destroy and
possible crash.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet and Ying Xue for their work and analyze
on the __neigh_event_send change.

Fixes: 767e97e1e0db ("neigh: RCU conversion of struct neighbour")
Fixes: a263b3093641 ("ipv4: Make neigh lookups directly in output packet path.")
Fixes: 6fd6ce2056de ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2().")
