Ipv6 flowlabels historically require a reservation before use. Optionally in exclusive mode (e.g., user-private). Commit 59c820b2 ("ipv6: elide flowlabel check if no exclusive leases exist") introduced a fastpath that avoids this check when no exclusive leases exist in the system, and thus any flowlabel use will be granted. That allows skipping the control operation to reserve a flowlabel entirely. Though with a warning if the fast path fails: This is an optimization. Robust applications still have to revert to requesting leases if the fast path fails due to an exclusive lease. Still, this is subtle. Better isolate network namespaces from each other. Flowlabels are per-netns. Also record per-netns whether exclusive leases are in use. Then behavior does not change based on activity in other netns. Changes v2 - wrap in IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) to avoid breakage if disabled Fixes: 59c820b2 ("ipv6: elide flowlabel check if no exclusive leases exist") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/MWHPR2201MB1072BCCCFCE779E4094837ACD0329@MWHPR2201MB1072.namprd22.prod.outlook.com/Reported-by: Congyu Liu <liu3101@purdue.edu> Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Tested-by: Congyu Liu <liu3101@purdue.edu> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220215160037.1976072-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
