Summary
ipv6: use RCU iterator to dump route exceptions
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: use RCU iterator to dump route exceptions

rt6_nh_dump_exceptions() uses hlist_for_each_entry() to iterate over RCU-protected exception lists. The caller holds rcu_read_lock(), but does not hold rt6_exception_lock, so rt6_insert_exception() can concurrently add an entry with hlist_add_head_rcu().

KCSAN reports this race (irrelevant details omitted):

================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rt6_insert_exception / rt6_nh_dump_exceptions

Use hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() to safely iterate over the exception list.
