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

ipv6: Fix infinite recursion in fib6_dump_done().

syzkaller reported infinite recursive calls of fib6_dump_done() during
netlink socket destruction.  [1]

From the log, syzkaller sent an AF_UNSPEC RTM_GETROUTE message, and then
the response was generated.  The following recvmmsg() resumed the dump
for IPv6, but the first call of inet6_dump_fib() failed at kzalloc() due
to the fault injection.  [0]

  12:01:34 executing program 3:
  r0 = socket$nl_route(0x10, 0x3, 0x0)
  sendmsg$nl_route(r0, ... snip ...)
  recvmmsg(r0, ... snip ...) (fail_nth: 8)

Here, fib6_dump_done() was set to nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done, and the next call
of inet6_dump_fib() set it to nlk_sk(sk)->cb.args[3].  syzkaller stopped
receiving the response halfway through, and finally netlink_sock_destruct()
called nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done().

fib6_dump_done() calls fib6_dump_end() and nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done() if it
is still not NULL.  fib6_dump_end() rewrites nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done() by
nlk_sk(sk)->cb.args[3], but it has the same function, not NULL, calling
itself recursively and hitting the stack guard page.

To avoid the issue, let's set the destructor after kzalloc().
