ipv6: Avoid creating RTF_CACHE from a rt that is not managed by fib6 tree
The original bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1272571 The setup has a IPv4 GRE tunnel running in a IPSec. The bug happens when ndisc starts sending router solicitation at the gre interface. The simplified oops stack is like: __lock_acquire+0x1b2/0x1c30 lock_acquire+0xb9/0x140 _raw_write_lock_bh+0x3f/0x50 __ip6_ins_rt+0x2e/0x60 ip6_ins_rt+0x49/0x50 ~~~~~~~~ __ip6_rt_update_pmtu.part.54+0x145/0x250 ip6_rt_update_pmtu+0x2e/0x40 ~~~~~~~~ ip_tunnel_xmit+0x1f1/0xf40 __gre_xmit+0x7a/0x90 ipgre_xmit+0x15a/0x220 dev_hard_start_xmit+0x2bd/0x480 __dev_queue_xmit+0x696/0x730 dev_queue_xmit+0x10/0x20 neigh_direct_output+0x11/0x20 ip6_finish_output2+0x21f/0x770 ip6_finish_output+0xa7/0x1d0 ip6_output+0x56/0x190 ~~~~~~~~ ndisc_send_skb+0x1d9/0x400 ndisc_send_rs+0x88/0xc0 ~~~~~~~~ The rt passed to ip6_rt_update_pmtu() is created by icmp6_dst_alloc() and it is not managed by the fib6 tree, so its rt6i_table == NULL. When __ip6_rt_update_pmtu() creates a RTF_CACHE clone, the newly created clone also has rt6i_table == NULL and it causes the ip6_ins_rt() oops. During pmtu update, we only want to create a RTF_CACHE clone from a rt which is currently managed (or owned) by the fib6 tree. It means either rt->rt6i_node != NULL or rt is a RTF_PCPU clone. It is worth to note that rt6i_table may not be NULL even it is not (yet) managed by the fib6 tree (e.g. addrconf_dst_alloc()). Hence, rt6i_node is a better check instead of rt6i_table.
