net: loopback: Avoid sending IP packets without an Ethernet header

2025-03-07T17:25:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0e4427f8f587c4b603475468bb3aee9418574893 ] After commit 22600596b675 ("ipv4: give an IPv4 dev to blackhole_netdev") IPv4 neighbors can be constructed on the blackhole net device, but they are constructed with an output function (neigh_direct_output()) that simply calls dev_queue_xmit(). The latter will transmit packets via 'skb->dev' which might not be the blackhole net device if dst_dev_put() switched 'dst->dev' to the blackhole net device while another CPU was using the dst entry in ip_output(), but after it already initialized 'skb->dev' from 'dst->dev'. Specifically, the following can happen: CPU1 CPU2 udp_sendmsg(sk1) udp_sendmsg(sk2) udp_send_skb() [...] ip_output() skb->dev = skb_dst(skb)->dev dst_dev_put() dst->dev = blackhole_netdev ip_finish_output2() resolves neigh on dst->dev neigh_output() neigh_direct_output() dev_queue_xmit() This will result in IPv4 packets being sent without an Ethernet header via a valid net device: tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode listening on enp9s0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes 22:07:02.329668 20:00:40:11:18:fb > 45:00:00:44:f4:94, ethertype Unknown (0x58c6), length 68: 0x0000: 8dda 74ca f1ae ca6c ca6c 0098 969c 0400 ..t....l.l...... 0x0010: 0000 4730 3f18 6800 0000 0000 0000 9971 ..G0?.h........q 0x0020: c4c9 9055 a157 0a70 9ead bf83 38ca ab38 ...U.W.p....8..8 0x0030: 8add ab96 e052 .....R Fix by making sure that neighbors are constructed on top of the blackhole net device with an output function that simply consumes the packets, in a similar fashion to dst_discard_out() and blackhole_netdev_xmit().

net: loopback: Do not allocate lstats explicitly

2024-05-01T02:01:58+00:00

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead of in this driver. With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now. Remove the allocation in the loopback driver and leverage the network core allocation instead.

When the name_assign_type attribute was introduced (commit 685343fc3ba6, "net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute"), the loopback device was explicitly mentioned as one which would make use of NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: ... NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device [...] Switch to that so that reading /sys/class/net/lo/name_assign_type produces something sensible instead of returning -EINVAL.

net: Add skb_clear_tstamp() to keep the mono delivery_time

2022-03-03T14:38:48+00:00

Right now, skb->tstamp is reset to 0 whenever the skb is forwarded. If skb->tstamp has the mono delivery_time, clearing it can hurt the performance when it finally transmits out to fq@phy-dev. The earlier patch added a skb->mono_delivery_time bit to flag the skb->tstamp carrying the mono delivery_time. This patch adds skb_clear_tstamp() helper which keeps the mono delivery_time and clears everything else. The delivery_time clearing will be postponed until the stack knows the skb will be delivered locally. It will be done in a latter patch. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
