[ Upstream commit 0600cf40e9b36fe17f9c9f04d4f9cef249eaa5e7 ]

Add static inline dst_dev_overhead() function to include/net/dst.h. This
helper function is used by ioam6_iptunnel, rpl_iptunnel and
seg6_iptunnel to get the dev's overhead based on a cache entry
(dst_entry). If the cache is empty, the default and generic value
skb-&gt;mac_len is returned. Otherwise, LL_RESERVED_SPACE() over dst's dev
is returned.

[ Upstream commit 6c1c5097781f563b70a81683ea6fdac21637573b ]

Long standing KCSAN issues are caused by data-race around
some dev-&gt;stats changes.

Most performance critical paths already use per-cpu
variables, or per-queue ones.

It is reasonable (and more correct) to use atomic operations
for the slow paths.

This patch adds an union for each field of net_device_stats,
so that we can convert paths that are not yet protected
by a spinlock or a mutex.

netdev_stats_to_stats64() no longer has an #if BITS_PER_LONG==64

Note that the memcpy() we were using on 64bit arches
had no provision to avoid load-tearing,
while atomic_long_read() is providing the needed protection
at no cost.

Move generic blackhole dst ops to the core and use them from both

functional change otherwise. We need these also in other locations
and having to define them over and over again is not great.

<title>tunnels: PMTU discovery support for directly bridged IP packets</title>
<updated>2020-08-04T20:01:45+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=4cb47a8644cc9eb8ec81190a50e79e6530d0297f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4cb47a8644cc9eb8ec81190a50e79e6530d0297f</id>
<content type='text'>
It's currently possible to bridge Ethernet tunnels carrying IP
packets directly to external interfaces without assigning them
addresses and routes on the bridged network itself: this is the case
for UDP tunnels bridged with a standard bridge or by Open vSwitch.

PMTU discovery is currently broken with those configurations, because
the encapsulation effectively decreases the MTU of the link, and
while we are able to account for this using PMTU discovery on the
lower layer, we don't have a way to relay ICMP or ICMPv6 messages
needed by the sender, because we don't have valid routes to it.

On the other hand, as a tunnel endpoint, we can't fragment packets
as a general approach: this is for instance clearly forbidden for
VXLAN by RFC 7348, section 4.3:

   VTEPs MUST NOT fragment VXLAN packets.  Intermediate routers may
   fragment encapsulated VXLAN packets due to the larger frame size.
   The destination VTEP MAY silently discard such VXLAN fragments.

The same paragraph recommends that the MTU over the physical network
accomodates for encapsulations, but this isn't a practical option for
complex topologies, especially for typical Open vSwitch use cases.

Further, it states that:

   Other techniques like Path MTU discovery (see [RFC1191] and
   [RFC1981]) MAY be used to address this requirement as well.

Now, PMTU discovery already works for routed interfaces, we get
route exceptions created by the encapsulation device as they receive
ICMP Fragmentation Needed and ICMPv6 Packet Too Big messages, and
we already rebuild those messages with the appropriate MTU and route
them back to the sender.

Add the missing bits for bridged cases:

- checks in skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() to understand if it's appropriate
  to trigger a reply according to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2 for ICMP and
  RFC 4443 section 2.4 for ICMPv6. This function is already called by
  UDP tunnels

- a new function generating those ICMP or ICMPv6 replies. We can't
  reuse icmp_send() and icmp6_send() as we don't see the sender as a
  valid destination. This doesn't need to be generic, as we don't
  cover any other type of ICMP errors given that we only provide an
  encapsulation function to the sender

While at it, make the MTU check in skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() accurate:
we might receive GSO buffers here, and the passed headroom already
includes the inner MAC length, so we don't have to account for it
a second time (that would imply three MAC headers on the wire, but
there are just two).

This issue became visible while bridging IPv6 packets with 4500 bytes
of payload over GENEVE using IPv4 with a PMTU of 4000. Given the 50
bytes of encapsulation headroom, we would advertise MTU as 3950, and
we would reject fragmented IPv6 datagrams of 3958 bytes size on the
wire. We're exclusively dealing with network MTU here, though, so we
could get Ethernet frames up to 3964 octets in that case.

v2:
- moved skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() to ip_tunnel_core.c (David Ahern)
- split IPv4/IPv6 functions (David Ahern)

<title>net: Added pointer check for dst-&gt;ops-&gt;neigh_lookup in dst_neigh_lookup_skb</title>

<content type='text'>
The packets from tunnel devices (eg bareudp) may have only
metadata in the dst pointer of skb. Hence a pointer check of
neigh_lookup is needed in dst_neigh_lookup_skb

Kernel crashes when packets from bareudp device is processed in
the kernel neighbour subsytem.
