First, lookup output route for ICMP reply (dst = original src)\n2. Pass through xfrm_lookup() for policy check\n3. If blocked (-EPERM) or dst is not local, enter \"reverse path\"\n4. In reverse path, call xfrm_decode_session_reverse() to get fl4_dec\n which reverses the original packet's flow (saddr<->daddr swapped)\n5. If fl4_dec.saddr is local (we are the original destination), use\n __ip_route_output_key() for output route lookup\n6. If fl4_dec.saddr is NOT local (we are a forwarding node), use\n ip_route_input() to simulate the reverse packet's input path\n7. Finally, pass rt2 through xfrm_lookup() with XFRM_LOOKUP_ICMP flag\n\nThe bug occurs in step 6: ip_route_input() is called with fl4_dec.daddr\n(original packet's source) as destination. If this address becomes local\nbetween the initial check and ip_route_input() call (e.g., due to\nconcurrent \"ip addr add\"), ip_route_input() returns a LOCAL route with\ndst.output set to ip_rt_bug.\n\nThis route is then used for ICMP output, causing dst_output() to call\nip_rt_bug(), triggering a WARN_ON:\n\n ------------[ cut here ]------------\n WARNING: net/ipv4/route.c:1275 at ip_rt_bug+0x21/0x30, CPU#1\n Call Trace:\n \n ip_push_pending_frames+0x202/0x240\n icmp_push_reply+0x30d/0x430\n __icmp_send+0x1149/0x24f0\n ip_options_compile+0xa2/0xd0\n ip_rcv_finish_core+0x829/0x1950\n ip_rcv+0x2d7/0x420\n __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x185/0x1f0\n netif_receive_skb+0x90/0x450\n tun_get_user+0x3413/0x3fb0\n tun_chr_write_iter+0xe4/0x220\n ...\n\nFix this by checking rt2->rt_type after ip_route_input(). If it's\nRTN_LOCAL, the route cannot be used for output, so treat it as an error.\n\nThe reproducer requires kernel modification to widen the race window,\nmaking it unsuitable as a selftest.
