[Bug 276248] race of IPv6 address removal with nd6_timer(), panic in in6_unlinkin6_unlink_ifa

            Bug ID: 276248
           Summary: race of IPv6 address removal with nd6_timer(), panic
                    in in6_unlinkin6_unlink_ifa
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: [email protected]

nd6_timer() uses network epoch to go through list of IPv6 address:

        CK_STAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE(ia6, &V_in6_ifaddrhead, ia_link, nia6) {

Note that epoch(9) introduction to the kernel this list traversal didn't
use any locking, hence comment XXXRW: in6_ifaddrhead locking.

The epoch locking guarantees safe memory access, but doesn't prevent
from addresses being removed.  Then nd6_timer() may call in6_purgeaddr()
which will try to remove address that already could had been removed,
e.g. by in6_control().  This race manifests in panic:
