[PATCH net v2 0/3] ipv4: handle nexthop group shrink races

[Daehyeon Ko]

fib_info_num_path() and fib_info_nhc() can observe different RCU
generations of a replaceable nexthop group.  An indexed consumer can
therefore accept an index from a larger group and receive NULL after a
concurrent shrink.

Patch 1 is unchanged from v1.  Patch 2 addresses the analogous
fib_dump_info_fnhe() race Ido identified.  Auditing the remaining
accessor pairs found the same issue in the RCU-only hardware-flag
notification path, fixed by patch 3.  Separate patches retain the
correct Fixes tag for each concurrency boundary.

Thanks to Ido for the review and follow-up pointer.

---
v2:
- Carry Ido's Reviewed-by on unchanged patch 1.
- Add separate exception-dump and notification-sizing fixes.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20261001010550.2742297-1-4ncienth@xxxxxxxxx/
review: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20261001170513.GA1657889@shredder/

Validation:
- Patch 1 retains its deterministic vulnerable/fixed result.
- Patches 2 and 3 are source-audited only.  No new allyesconfig or
  allmodconfig W=1 build or runtime test was run.

Daehyeon Ko (3):
  ipv4: stop PMTU walk when nexthop group shrinks
  ipv4: stop exception dump when nexthop group shrinks
  ipv4: stop route notification sizing when nexthop group shrinks
