From 4f7f34eaab9f68c9bcd45386b15c414c38b40587 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 11:10:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: vrf: Fix dev refcnt leak due to IPv6 prefix route ifupdown2 found a kernel bug with IPv6 routes and movement from the main table to the VRF table. Sequence of events: Create the interface and add addresses: ip link add dev eth4.105 link eth4 type vlan id 105 ip addr add dev eth4.105 8.105.105.10/24 ip -6 addr add dev eth4.105 2008:105:105::10/64 At this point IPv6 has inserted a prefix route in the main table even though the interface is 'down'. From there the VRF device is created: ip link add dev vrf105 type vrf table 105 ip addr add dev vrf105 9.9.105.10/32 ip -6 addr add dev vrf105 2000:9:105::10/128 ip link set vrf105 up Then the interface is enslaved, while still in the 'down' state: ip link set dev eth4.105 master vrf105 Since the device is down the VRF driver cycling the device does not send the NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_DOWN but rather the NETDEV_CHANGE event which does not flush the routes inserted prior. When the link is brought up ip link set dev eth4.105 up the prefix route is added in the VRF table, but does not remove the route from the main table. Fix by handling the NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event similar what was implemented for IPv4 in 7f49e7a38b77 ("net: Flush local routes when device changes vrf association") Fixes: 35402e3136634 ("net: Add IPv6 support to VRF device") Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
