From 09280680f2ea060514be2a39ea84209fb6d721d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhiling Zou Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 03:01:16 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipmr: drop packets with unknown ingress VIF A packet can race with VIF publication and make ipmr_find_vif() return -1 even though the VIF device pointer is already visible. The parent VIF device check can then pass with an invalid ingress VIF. For (*,G) entries, this can also let the packet be forwarded back out its ingress VIF. Drop packets whose ingress VIF lookup fails in both IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding, before checking the MFC parent device. This prevents forwarding with an unknown ingress VIF and avoids the (*,G) hairpin. Without the early check, the negative index can reach the IPv4 offload lookup only for an skb marked for L3 forwarding offload, currently done by mlxsw. The race is rare; the supplied PoC reports only the UBSAN negative-index diagnostic.
