[PATCH net 0/4] nexthop: Various fixes

From: Ido Schimmel <hidden>

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com>

This series contains various fixes for the nexthop code. The bugs were
uncovered during the development of resilient nexthop groups.

Patches #1-#2 fix the error path of nexthop_create_group(). I was not
able to trigger these bugs with current code, but it is possible with
the upcoming resilient nexthop groups code which adds a user
controllable memory allocation further in the function.

Patch #3 fixes wrong validation of netlink attributes.

Patch #4 fixes wrong invocation of mausezahn in a selftest.

Ido Schimmel (3):
  nexthop: Fix off-by-one error in error path
  nexthop: Unlink nexthop group entry in error path
  selftests: fib_nexthops: Fix wrong mausezahn invocation

Petr Machata (1):
  nexthop: Bounce NHA_GATEWAY in FDB nexthop groups

[PATCH net 1/4] nexthop: Fix off-by-one error in error path

From: Ido Schimmel <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-07 14:49:56

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com>

A reference was not taken for the current nexthop entry, so do not try
to put it in the error path.

In case of error, remove the nexthop group entry from the list to which
it was previously added.

From: Ido Schimmel <hidden>

For IPv6 traffic, mausezahn needs to be invoked with '-6'. Otherwise an
error is returned:

[PATCH net 3/4] nexthop: Bounce NHA_GATEWAY in FDB nexthop groups

From: Ido Schimmel <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-07 14:50:21

From: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com>

The function nh_check_attr_group() is called to validate nexthop groups.
The intention of that code seems to have been to bounce all attributes
above NHA_GROUP_TYPE except for NHA_FDB. However instead it bounces all
these attributes except when NHA_FDB attribute is present--then it accepts
them.

NHA_FDB validation that takes place before, in rtm_to_nh_config(), already
bounces NHA_OIF, NHA_BLACKHOLE, NHA_ENCAP and NHA_ENCAP_TYPE. Yet further
back, NHA_GROUPS and NHA_MASTER are bounced unconditionally.

But that still leaves NHA_GATEWAY as an attribute that would be accepted in
FDB nexthop groups (with no meaning), so long as it keeps the address
family as unspecified:

 # ip nexthop add id 1 fdb via 127.0.0.1
 # ip nexthop add id 10 fdb via default group 1

The nexthop code is still relatively new and likely not used very broadly,
and the FDB bits are newer still. Even though there is a reproducer out
there, it relies on an improbable gateway arguments "via default", "via
all" or "via any". Given all this, I believe it is OK to reformulate the
condition to do the right thing and bounce NHA_GATEWAY.
