mainlining shenanigans
b0818f80c8
While invalidating the dst, we assign backhole_netdev instead of
loopback device. However, this device does not have idev pointer
and hence no ip6_ptr even if IPv6 is enabled. Possibly this has
triggered the syzbot reported crash.
The syzbot report does not have reproducer, however, this is the
only device that doesn't have matching idev created.
Crash instruction is :
static inline bool ip6_ignore_linkdown(const struct net_device *dev)
{
const struct inet6_dev *idev = __in6_dev_get(dev);
return !!idev->cnf.ignore_routes_with_linkdown; <= crash
}
Also ipv6 always assumes presence of idev and never checks for it
being NULL (as does the above referenced code). So adding a idev
for the blackhole_netdev to avoid this class of crashes in the future.

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.
