v2: ~ Protect __sk_dst_get() operations with rcu_read_lock in release_cb() because another thread may do ip6_dst_store() for a udp sk without taking the sk lock (e.g. in sendmsg). ~ Do a ipv6_addr_v4mapped(&sk->sk_v6_daddr) check before calling ip6_datagram_dst_update() in patch 3 and 4. It is similar to how __ip6_datagram_connect handles it. ~ One fix in ip6_datagram_dst_update() in patch 2. It needs to check (np->flow_label & IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MASK) before doing fl6_sock_lookup. I was confused with the naming of IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MASK and IPV6_FLOWINFO_MASK. ~ Check dst->obsolete just on the safe side, although I think it should at least have DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK by now. ~ Add Fixes tag to patch 3 and 4 ~ Add some points from the previous discussion about holding sk lock to the commit message in patch 3.
v1: There is a case in connected UDP socket such that getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) will return a stale MTU value. The reproducible sequence could be the following: 1. Create a connected UDP socket 2. Send some datagrams out 3. Receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG 4. No new outgoing datagrams to trigger the sk_dst_check() logic to update the sk->sk_dst_cache. 5. getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) returns the mtu from the invalid sk->sk_dst_cache instead of the newly created RTF_CACHE clone. Patch 1 and 2 are the prep work. Patch 3 and 4 are the fixes.
