    ipv6: route: purge exception on removal · b9d0cb75

    When a netdevice is unregistered, we flush the relevant exception
    via rt6_sync_down_dev() -> fib6_ifdown() -> fib6_del() -> fib6_del_route().
    
    Finally, we end-up calling rt6_remove_exception(), where we release
    the relevant dst, while we keep the references to the related fib6_info and
    dev. Such references should be released later when the dst will be
    destroyed.
    
    There are a number of caches that can keep the exception around for an
    unlimited amount of time - namely dst_cache, possibly even socket cache.
    As a result device registration may hang, as demonstrated by this script:
    
    ip netns add cl
    ip netns add rt
    ip netns add srv
    ip netns exec rt sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    
    ip link add name cl_veth type veth peer name cl_rt_veth
    ip link set dev cl_veth netns cl
    ip -n cl link set dev cl_veth up
    ip -n cl addr add dev cl_veth 2001::2/64
    ip -n cl route add default via 2001::1
    
    ip -n cl link add tunv6 type ip6tnl mode ip6ip6 local 2001::2 remote 2002::1 hoplimit 64 dev cl_veth
    ip -n cl link set tunv6 up
    ip -n cl addr add 2013::2/64 dev tunv6
    
    ip link set dev cl_rt_veth netns rt
    ip -n rt link set dev cl_rt_veth up
    ip -n rt addr add dev cl_rt_veth 2001::1/64
    
    ip link add name rt_srv_veth type veth peer name srv_veth
    ip link set dev srv_veth netns srv
    ip -n srv link set dev srv_veth up
    ip -n srv addr add dev srv_veth 2002::1/64
    ip -n srv route add default via 2002::2
    
    ip -n srv link add tunv6 type ip6tnl mode ip6ip6 local 2002::1 remote 2001::2 hoplimit 64 dev srv_veth
    ip -n srv link set tunv6 up
    ip -n srv addr add 2013::1/64 dev tunv6
    
    ip link set dev rt_srv_veth netns rt
    ip -n rt link set dev rt_srv_veth up
    ip -n rt addr add dev rt_srv_veth 2002::2/64
    
    ip netns exec srv netserver & sleep 0.1
    ip netns exec cl ping6 -c 4 2013::1
    ip netns exec cl netperf -H 2013::1 -t TCP_STREAM -l 3 & sleep 1
    ip -n rt link set dev rt_srv_veth mtu 1400
    wait %2
    
    ip -n cl link del cl_veth
    
    This commit addresses the issue purging all the references held by the
    exception at time, as we currently do for e.g. ipv6 pcpu dst entries.
    
    v1 -> v2:
     - re-order the code to avoid accessing dst and net after dst_dev_put()
    
    Fixes: 93531c67 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes")
