Re: selftests: net: pmtu.sh: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address

Sorry for bringing up this issue, it recently occurred on my aarch64 kernel
with blackhole_netdev backported. I tracked it down, and when deleting
the netns, the path is:

In cleanup_net():

default_device_exit_batch()
unregister_netdevice_many()
addrconf_ifdown() -> call_rcu(rcu, fib6_info_destroy_rcu) <--- [1]
netdev_run_todo()
rcu_barrier() <- [2]
ip6_route_net_exit() -> dst_entries_destroy(net->ip6_dst_ops) <--- [3]

In fib6_info_destroy_rcu():

dst_dev_put()
dst_release() -> call_rcu(rcu, dst_destroy_rcu) <--- [5]

In dst_destroy_rcu():
dst_destroy() -> dst_entries_add(dst->ops, -1); <--- [6]

fib6_info_destroy_rcu() is scheduled at [1], rcu_barrier() will wait
for fib6_info_destroy_rcu() to be done at [2]. However, another callback
dst_destroy_rcu() is scheduled() in fib6_info_destroy_rcu() at [5], and
there's no place calling rcu_barrier() to wait for dst_destroy_rcu() to
be done. It means dst_entries_add() at [6] might be run later than
dst_entries_destroy() at [3], then this UAF will trigger the panic.

So I think it makes sense to NOT call dst_entries_add() in the path
dst_destroy_rcu() -> dst_destroy(), as it does on the patch above,
but I don't see it get posted.

Hi, Eric, would you like to move forward with your patch above ?

Or we can also move the dst_entries_add(dst->ops, -1) from dst_destroy()
to dst_release():

Note, dst_destroy() is not used outside net/core/dst.c, we may delete
EXPORT_SYMBOL(dst_destroy) in the future.

Thanks.
