[PATCH 4.4 188/190] net/ipv6: Increment OUTxxx counters after netfilter hook

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Apr 11 2018 - 14:52:16 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 71a1c915238c970cd9bdd5bf158b1279d6b6d55b ]

At the end of ip6_forward(), IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS and
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS are incremented immediately before the NF_HOOK call
for NFPROTO_IPV6 / NF_INET_FORWARD. As a result, these counters get
incremented regardless of whether or not the netfilter hook allows the
packet to continue being processed. This change increments the counters
in ip6_forward_finish() so that it will not happen if the netfilter hook
chooses to terminate the packet, which is similar to how IPv4 works.
