inet6_rt_notify() can be called under RCU protection only. This means the route could be changed concurrently and rt6_fill_node() could return -EMSGSIZE. Re-size the skb when this happens and retry, removing one WARN_ON() that syzbot was able to trigger: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 6291 at net/ipv6/route.c:6342 inet6_rt_notify+0x475/0x4b0 net/ipv6/route.c:6342 Modules linked in: CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 6291 Comm: syz.0.77 Not tainted 6.16.0-rc7-syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2~bpo12+1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:inet6_rt_notify+0x475/0x4b0 net/ipv6/route.c:6342 Code: fc ff ff e8 6d 52 ea f7 e9 47 fc ff ff 48 8b 7c 24 08 4c 89 04 24 e8 5a 52 ea f7 4c 8b 04 24 e9 94 fd ff ff e8 9c fe 84 f7 90 <0f> 0b 90 e9 bd fd ff ff e8 6e 52 ea f7 e9 bb fb ff ff 48 89 df e8 RSP: 0018:ffffc900035cf1d8 EFLAGS: 00010293 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffc900035cf540 RCX: ffffffff8a36e790 RDX: ffff88802f7e8000 RSI: ffffffff8a36e9d4 RDI: 0000000000000005 RBP: ffff88803c230f00 R08: 0000000000000005 R09: 00000000ffffffa6 R10: 00000000ffffffa6 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 00000000ffffffa6 R13: 0000000000000900 R14: ffff888032ea4100 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 00007fac7b89a6c0(0000) GS:ffff8880d6a20000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fac7b899f98 CR3: 0000000034b3f000 CR4: 0000000000352ef0 Call Trace: ip6_route_mpath_notify+0xde/0x280 net/ipv6/route.c:5356 ip6_route_multipath_add+0x1181/0x1bd0 net/ipv6/route.c:5536 inet6_rtm_newroute+0xe4/0x1a0 net/ipv6/route.c:5647 rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x95e/0xe90 net/core/rtnetlink.c:6944 netlink_rcv_skb+0x155/0x420 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2552 netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1320 [inline] netlink_unicast+0x58d/0x850 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1346 netlink_sendmsg+0x8d1/0xdd0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1896 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:712 [inline] __sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:727 [inline] ____sys_sendmsg+0xa95/0xc70 net/socket.c:2566 ___sys_sendmsg+0x134/0x1d0 net/socket.c:2620 Fixes: 169fd62799e8 ("ipv6: Get rid of RTNL for SIOCADDRT and RTM_NEWROUTE.")
