[PATCH] neighbour: purge nf_bridged skb from foreign device neigh

From: Pavel Tikhomirov
Date: Mon Jan 08 2024 - 03:53:50 EST


An skb can be added to a neigh->arp_queue while waiting for an arp
reply. Where original skb's skb->dev can be different to neigh's
neigh->dev. For instance in case of bridging dnated skb from one veth to
another, the skb would be added to a neigh->arp_queue of the bridge.

There is no explicit mechanism that prevents the original skb->dev link
of such skb from being freed under us. For instance neigh_flush_dev does
not cleanup skbs from different device's neigh queue. But that original
link can be used and lead to crash on e.g. this stack:

arp_process
neigh_update
skb = __skb_dequeue(&neigh->arp_queue)
neigh_resolve_output(..., skb)
...
br_nf_dev_xmit
br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow
skb->dev = nf_bridge->physindev
br_handle_frame_finish

So let's improve neigh_flush_dev to also purge skbs when device
equal to their skb->nf_bridge->physindev gets destroyed.
