ipv4: fib: fix data-race and stale genid check around nh->nh_saddr
fib_select_multipath() compares nexthop_nh->nh_saddr against the flow
source address with no lock held, while fib_info_update_nhc_saddr()
stores a new value from another CPU as soon as the preferred source
address of the egress device changes.
Commit 195374d89368 ("ipv4: fib: annotate races around nh->nh_saddr_genid
and nh->nh_saddr") added WRITE_ONCE() on the store side and READ_ONCE()
in fib_result_prefsrc() after syzbot reported
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in fib_select_path / fib_select_path
but it only covered that reader. fib_select_multipath(), reached from
fib_select_path(), is a second lockless reader of nh->nh_saddr and was
left bare.
Moreover, nh_saddr is only meaningful when nh_saddr_genid matches
dev_addr_genid, as established by commit 436c3b66ec98 ("ipv4: Invalidate
nexthop cache nh_saddr more correctly."). fib_select_multipath()
skips that validation, so it can score a nexthop using a stale source
address and skew the ECMP selection.
Annotate both reads with READ_ONCE() and refresh the cached source
address via fib_info_update_nhc_saddr() when the genid does not match,
mirroring fib_result_prefsrc().
Fixes: 32607a332cfe ("ipv4: prefer multipath nexthop that matches source address")
