tunnel: Clear IPCB(skb)->opt before dst_link_failure called

2016-02-24T00:11:56+00:00

IPCB may contain data from previous layers (in the observed case the qdisc layer). In the observed scenario, the data was misinterpreted as ip header options, which later caused the ihl to be set to an invalid value (<5). This resulted in an infinite loop in the mips implementation of ip_fast_csum. This patch clears IPCB(skb)->opt before dst_link_failure can be called for various types of tunnels. This change only applies to encapsulated ipv4 packets. The code introduced in 11c21a30 which clears all of IPCB has been removed to be consistent with these changes, and instead the opt field is cleared unconditionally in ip_tunnel_xmit. The change in ip_tunnel_xmit applies to SIT, GRE, and IPIP tunnels. The relevant vti, l2tp, and pptp functions already contain similar code for clearing the IPCB.

gre: clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING

2016-02-18T19:43:48+00:00

ether_setup sets IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING but this is not supported by gre as it modifies the skb on xmit. Also, clean up whitespace in ipgre_tap_setup when we're already touching it. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: replace dst_cache ip6_tunnel implementation with the generic one

2016-02-17T01:21:48+00:00

This also fix a potential race into the existing tunnel code, which could lead to the wrong dst to be permanenty cached: CPU1: CPU2: dst = ip6_route_output(...) dst_cache_reset() // no effect, // the cache is empty dst_cache_set() // the wrong dst // is permanenty stored // into the cache With the new dst implementation the above race is not possible since the first cache lookup after dst_cache_reset will fail due to the timestamp check Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Suggested-and-acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

Conflicts: drivers/net/geneve.c Here we had an overlapping change, where in 'net' the extraneous stats bump was being removed whilst in 'net-next' the final argument to udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() was being changed. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

gre6: allow to update all parameters via rtnl

2015-12-04T21:52:06+00:00

Parameters were updated only if the kernel was unable to find the tunnel with the new parameters, ie only if core pamareters were updated (keys, addr, link, type). Now it's possible to update ttl, hoplimit, flowinfo and flags. Fixes: c12b395a4664 ("gre: Support GRE over IPv6") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove unnecessary mroute.h includes

2015-11-30T20:26:21+00:00

It looks like many files are including mroute.h unnecessarily, so remove the include. Most importantly remove it from ipv6. CC: Hideaki YOSHIFUJI CC: Steffen Klassert CC: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip6_gre: Reduce log level in ip6gre_err() to debug

2015-09-24T22:28:43+00:00

Currently error log messages in ip6gre_err are printed at 'warn' level. This is different to most other tunnel types which don't print any messages. These log messages don't provide any information that couldn't be deduced with networking tools. Also it can be annoying to have one end of the tunnel go down and have the logs fill with pointless messages such as "Path to destination invalid or inactive!". This patch reduces the log level of these messages to 'dbg' level to bring the visible behaviour into line with other tunnel types. Signed-off-by: Matt Bennett Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Fix dst_entry refcnt bugs in ip6_tunnel

2015-09-15T21:53:05+00:00

Problems in the current dst_entry cache in the ip6_tunnel: 1. ip6_tnl_dst_set is racy. There is no lock to protect it: - One major problem is that the dst refcnt gets messed up. F.e. the same dst_cache can be released multiple times and then triggering the infamous dst refcnt < 0 warning message. - Another issue is the inconsistency between dst_cache and dst_cookie. It can be reproduced by adding and removing the ip6gre tunnel while running a super_netperf TCP_CRR test. 2. ip6_tnl_dst_get does not take the dst refcnt before returning the dst. This patch: 1. Create a percpu dst_entry cache in ip6_tnl 2. Use a spinlock to protect the dst_cache operations 3. ip6_tnl_dst_get always takes the dst refcnt before returning Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
