Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC net-next] ipv6: avoid high order memory allocations for /proc/net/ipv6_route

Hello Ben and Patrick!

I have a question regarding this patch:

commit 2bec5a369ee79576a3eea2c23863325089785a2c
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>
Date:   Mon Feb 8 05:19:03 2010 +0000

    ipv6: fib: fix crash when changing large fib while dumping it
    
    When the fib size exceeds what can be dumped in a single skb, the
    dump is suspended and resumed once the last skb has been received
    by userspace. When the fib is changed while the dump is suspended,
    the walker might contain stale pointers, causing a crash when the
    dump is resumed.

Below is a patch to switch /proc/net/ipv6_route to an iterating interface
as well, thus avoiding large order allocations in the procfs code.

Looking at the netlink dump code I think I might also need the
serialnumber check and restart logic but I could not reproduce any NULL-ptr
deref with my code or with your patch reverted. Maybe you remember some
special cases how to reproduce this? There was already some doubt the
serialnumber check would be needed in this thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/12/386

I also tried to check the walker logic and have not found any spots where it
should produce such a BUG.

It would also help to know the exact kernel version on which this bug was
produced.

Thanks a lot!

This was actually an error in my debugging code. I could not trigger it
afterwards. It was fully my fault.

Current patch looks like this:

[PATCH RFC] ipv6: avoid high order memory allocations for /proc/net/ipv6_route

Dumping routes on a system with lots rt6_infos in the fibs causes up to
11-order allocations in seq_file (which fail). While we could switch
there to vmalloc we could just implement the streaming interface for
/proc/net/ipv6_route. This patch switches /proc/net/ipv6_route from
single_open_net to seq_open_net.

loff_t *pos tracks dst entries.

Also kill never used struct rt6_proc_arg and now unused function
fib6_clean_all_ro.
