ipv4/fib: send notify when delete source address routes
After deleting an interface address in fib_del_ifaddr(), the function scans the fib_info list for stray entries and calls fib_flush() and fib_table_flush(). Then the stray entries will be deleted silently and no RTM_DELROUTE notification will be sent. This lack of notification can make routing daemons, or monitor like `ip monitor route` miss the routing changes. e.g. + ip link add dummy1 type dummy + ip link add dummy2 type dummy + ip link set dummy1 up + ip link set dummy2 up + ip addr add 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1 + ip route add 7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 src 192.168.5.5 + ip -4 route 7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 scope link src 192.168.5.5 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5 + ip monitor route + ip addr del 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1 Deleted 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5 Deleted broadcast 192.168.5.255 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5 Deleted local 192.168.5.5 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.5.5 As Ido reminded, fib_table_flush() isn't only called when an address is deleted, but also when an interface is deleted or put down. The lack of notification in these cases is deliberate. And commit 7c6bb7d2 ("net/ipv6: Add knob to skip DELROUTE message on device down") introduced a sysctl to make IPv6 behave like IPv4 in this regard. So we can't send the route delete notify blindly in fib_table_flush(). To fix this issue, let's add a new flag in "struct fib_info" to track the deleted prefer source address routes, and only send notify for them. After update: + ip monitor route + ip addr del 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1 Deleted 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5 Deleted broadcast 192.168.5.255 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5 Deleted local 192.168.5.5 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.5.5 Deleted 7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 scope link src 192.168.5.5 Suggested-by: Thomas Haller <thaller@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com> Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230922075508.848925-1-liuhangbin@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
