in6_selectroute() checks whether the struct route it received contains a valid route whose AF is not AF_INET6, "in case the cache is shared". Well, is this cache shared or not ?
There's only two ways to get to in6_selectroute() 1) in6_pcbselsrc() -> in6_selectif() -> in6_selectroute() It is trivial to check that only inet6 is handled here, and that any other AF is obviously an error. 2) ip6_output() -> in6_selectroute() a. If the struct route * arg of ip6_output() is NULL, then ip6_output() zeroes a struct route from the stack, it will never be valid thus there is no need to check its AF. b. If the struct route * arg is not NULL, it is passed to ip6_output(). ip6_output() is called with a non-NULL struct route * in 5 places only: netinet/tcp_output.c:1124: error = ip6_output(m, tp->t_inpcb->inp_outputopts6, netinet/tcp_output.c-1125- &tp->t_inpcb->inp_route6, netinet/tcp_output.c-1126- 0, NULL, tp->t_inpcb); netinet/tcp_subr.c:399: ip6_output(m, tp ? tp->t_inpcb->inp_outputopts6 : NULL, netinet/tcp_subr.c-400- tp ? &tp->t_inpcb->inp_route6 : NULL, netinet/tcp_subr.c-401- 0, NULL, netinet/tcp_subr.c-402- tp ? tp->t_inpcb : NULL); netinet/tcp_input.c:4386: error = ip6_output(m, NULL /*XXX*/, &sc->sc_route6, 0, netinet/tcp_input.c-4387- NULL, NULL); netinet6/ip6_divert.c:167: error = ip6_output(m, NULL, &inp->inp_route6, netinet6/ip6_divert.c-168- IP_ALLOWBROADCAST | IP_RAWOUTPUT, NULL, NULL); netinet6/raw_ip6.c:457: error = ip6_output(m, optp, &in6p->inp_route6, flags, netinet6/raw_ip6.c-458- in6p->inp_moptions6, in6p); Each time, the struct route is only used in an inet6 context. I think it is safe to add this KASSERT() to in6_selectroute(). A few other things can be tightened, they will be addressed later. Ok ?
