ipv6: datagram: Update dst cache of a connected datagram sk during pmtu update



There is a case in connected UDP socket such that
getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) will return a stale MTU value. The reproducible
sequence could be the following:
1. Create a connected UDP socket
2. Send some datagrams out
3. Receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG
4. No new outgoing datagrams to trigger the sk_dst_check()
   logic to update the sk->sk_dst_cache.
5. getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) returns the mtu from the invalid
   sk->sk_dst_cache instead of the newly created RTF_CACHE clone.

This patch updates the sk->sk_dst_cache for a connected datagram sk
during pmtu-update code path.

Note that the sk->sk_v6_daddr is used to do the route lookup
instead of skb->data (i.e. iph).  It is because a UDP socket can become
connected after sending out some datagrams in un-connected state.  or
It can be connected multiple times to different destinations.  Hence,
iph may not be related to where sk is currently connected to.

It is done under '!sock_owned_by_user(sk)' condition because
the user may make another ip6_datagram_connect()  (i.e changing
the sk->sk_v6_daddr) while dst lookup is happening in the pmtu-update
code path.

For the sock_owned_by_user(sk) == true case, the next patch will
introduce a release_cb() which will update the sk->sk_dst_cache.

Test:

Server (Connected UDP Socket):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Route Details:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep '2fac'
2fac::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
2fac:face::/64 via 2fac::face dev eth0  metric 1024  pref medium

A simple python code to create a connected UDP socket:

import socket
import errno

HOST = '2fac::1'
PORT = 8080

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.connect(('2fac:face::face', 53))
print("connected")
while True:
    try:
	data = s.recv(1024)
    except socket.error as se:
	if se.errno == errno.EMSGSIZE:
		pmtu = s.getsockopt(41, 24)
		print("PMTU:%d" % pmtu)
		break
s.close()

Python program output after getting a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# python2 ~/devshare/kernel/tasks/fib6/udp-connect-53-8080.py
connected
PMTU:1300

Cache routes after recieving TOOBIG:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# ip -6 r show table cache
2fac:face::face via 2fac::face dev eth0  metric 0
    cache  expires 463sec mtu 1300 pref medium

Client (Send the ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scapy is used to generate the TOOBIG message.  Here is the scapy script I have
used:

>>> p=Ether(src='da:75:4d:36:ac:32', dst='52:54:00:12:34:66', type=0x86dd)/IPv6(src='2fac::face', dst='2fac::1')/ICMPv6PacketTooBig(mtu=1300)/IPv6(src='2fac::
1',dst='2fac:face::face', nh='UDP')/UDP(sport=8080,dport=53)
>>> sendp(p, iface='qemubr0')
