UBUNTU: SAUCE: ipv6: frags: fix skb extraction in ip6_expire_frag_queue()
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824687 The backport of 05c0b86b ("ipv6: frags: rewrite ip6_expire_frag_queue()") to linux-4.4.y stable changed ip6_expire_frag_queue() to be similar to ip_expire(). However, using skb_get() leads to a crash while sending the ICMP message due to a check for shared SKBs. kernel BUG at linux-4.4.0/net/core/skbuff.c:1207! RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81740953>] [<ffffffff81740953>] pskb_expand_head+0x243/0x250 [<ffffffff81740e50>] __pskb_pull_tail+0x50/0x350 [<ffffffff8183939a>] _decode_session6+0x26a/0x400 [<ffffffff817ec719>] __xfrm_decode_session+0x39/0x50 [<ffffffff818239d0>] icmpv6_route_lookup+0xf0/0x1c0 [<ffffffff81824421>] icmp6_send+0x5e1/0x940 [<ffffffff8183d431>] icmpv6_send+0x21/0x30 [<ffffffff8182b500>] ip6_expire_frag_queue+0xe0/0x120 For IPv4 the ip_expire() function however did change considerably since then. In fa0f5273 ("ip: use rb trees for IP frag queue.") the SKB might be taken from a rbtree (use of rbtrees for IPv4 was backported to 4.4.y upstream). Along with those obvious changes, the code also is modified to actually de-queue the SKB from whichever source it was taken. This also got rid of the skb_get() which causes problems in icmpv6_send(). And latest upstream code uses inet_frag_pull_head() which does the same. To fix the crash in IPv6, we use the same modifications added to ip_expire() by fa0f5273. This might be too much change for now because IPv6 only starts using rbtrees for frags with 997dd964 ("net: IP6 defrag: use rbtrees in nf_conntrack_reasm.c") which has not been backported to 4.4.y. Testing by a reporter was showing good results. Likely the else part never gets used until 997dd964 is backported, too. And that needs more changes. Some upstream (stable) discussion was started but has not yet resulted in any usable results. So adding this as SAUCE for now to get the kernel stable (based on testing).
