Subject: ipv4: fib: Flush all fib_info in fib_table_flush() during netns dismantle.
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64587e936b6526539f5d2cf1bb667c52be937cd7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

ipv4: fib: Flush all fib_info in fib_table_flush() during netns dismantle.

Even when fib_table_flush() is called with flush_all true, it does
not flush all fib_info due to this condition:

  !(fi->fib_flags & RTNH_F_DEAD) && !fib_props[fa->fa_type].error)

This creates an implicit ordering between default_device_exit_batch()
and fib_net_exit_batch().

fib_table_flush(flush_all=true) must be called after all devices
are NETDEV_UNREGISTERed, which is after nexthop_flush_dev() marks
RTNH_F_DEAD.

This would cause memory leak if the order were reversed.

fib_table_flush() does not skip non-dead error routes when flush_all
is true:

  !flush_all &&
  !(fi->fib_flags & RTNH_F_DEAD) && fib_props[fa->fa_type].error

Let's merge the two conditions not to skip all non-dead fib_info
during netns dismantle.

Note that we could further apply !flush_all to the basic table
id check and the rtmsg_fib() call in the loop.
