Kuniyuki Iwashima 3c52c6bb83 tcp/udp: Fix memory leak in ipv6_renew_options().
syzbot reported a memory leak [0] related to IPV6_ADDRFORM.

The scenario is that while one thread is converting an IPv6 socket into
IPv4 with IPV6_ADDRFORM, another thread calls do_ipv6_setsockopt() and
allocates memory to inet6_sk(sk)->XXX after conversion.

Then, the converted sk with (tcp|udp)_prot never frees the IPv6 resources,
which inet6_destroy_sock() should have cleaned up.

setsockopt(IPV6_ADDRFORM)                 setsockopt(IPV6_DSTOPTS)
+-----------------------+                 +----------------------+
- do_ipv6_setsockopt(sk, ...)
  - sockopt_lock_sock(sk)                 - do_ipv6_setsockopt(sk, ...)
    - lock_sock(sk)                         ^._ called via tcpv6_prot
  - WRITE_ONCE(sk->sk_prot, &tcp_prot)          before WRITE_ONCE()
  - xchg(&np->opt, NULL)
  - txopt_put(opt)
  - sockopt_release_sock(sk)
    - release_sock(sk)                      - sockopt_lock_sock(sk)
                                              - lock_sock(sk)
                                            - ipv6_set_opt_hdr(sk, ...)
                                              - ipv6_update_options(sk, opt)
                                                - xchg(&inet6_sk(sk)->opt, opt)
                                                  ^._ opt is never freed.

                                            - sockopt_release_sock(sk)
                                              - release_sock(sk)

Since IPV6_DSTOPTS allocates options under lock_sock(), we can avoid this
memory leak by testing whether sk_family is changed by IPV6_ADDRFORM after
acquiring the lock.

This issue exists from the initial commit between IPV6_ADDRFORM and
IPV6_PKTOPTIONS.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
