Jakub Kicinski 2a3ad42a57 net: clear the dst when changing skb protocol
commit ba9db6f907 upstream.

A not-so-careful NAT46 BPF program can crash the kernel
if it indiscriminately flips ingress packets from v4 to v6:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
    ip6_rcv_core (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:190:20)
    ipv6_rcv (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:306:8)
    process_backlog (net/core/dev.c:6186:4)
    napi_poll (net/core/dev.c:6906:9)
    net_rx_action (net/core/dev.c:7028:13)
    do_softirq (kernel/softirq.c:462:3)
    netif_rx (net/core/dev.c:5326:3)
    dev_loopback_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4015:2)
    ip_mc_finish_output (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:363:8)
    NF_HOOK (./include/linux/netfilter.h:314:9)
    ip_mc_output (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:400:5)
    dst_output (./include/net/dst.h:459:9)
    ip_local_out (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:130:9)
    ip_send_skb (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:1496:8)
    udp_send_skb (net/ipv4/udp.c:1040:8)
    udp_sendmsg (net/ipv4/udp.c:1328:10)

The output interface has a 4->6 program attached at ingress.
We try to loop the multicast skb back to the sending socket.
Ingress BPF runs as part of netif_rx(), pushes a valid v6 hdr
and changes skb->protocol to v6. We enter ip6_rcv_core which
tries to use skb_dst(). But the dst is still an IPv4 one left
after IPv4 mcast output.

Clear the dst in all BPF helpers which change the protocol.
Try to preserve metadata dsts, those may carry non-routing
metadata.

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 reStructuredText 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.
