[ Upstream commit 21f4d45eba0b2dcae5dbc9e5e0ad08735c993f16 ]

Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev-&gt;needed_headroom, too.
While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in
commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"),
ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling.

Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version.

Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue
and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.

[ Upstream commit ad4a3ca6a8e886f6491910a3ae5d53595e40597d ]

There are code paths from which the function is called without holding
the RCU read lock, resulting in a suspicious RCU usage warning [1].

Fix by using l3mdev_master_upper_ifindex_by_index() which will acquire
the RCU read lock before calling
l3mdev_master_upper_ifindex_by_index_rcu().

commit db53cd3d88dc328dea2e968c9c8d3b4294a8a674 upstream.

Ido reported that the commit referenced in the Fixes tag broke
a gre use case with dummy devices. Add a check to ip_tunnel_init_flow
to see if the oif is an l3mdev port and if so set the oif to 0 to
avoid the oif comparison in fib_lookup_good_nhc.

[ Upstream commit c6ae073f5903f6c6439d0ac855836a4da5c0a701 ]

When innerprotoinherit is set, the tunneled packets do not have an inner
Ethernet header.
Change 'maclen' to not always assume the header length is ETH_HLEN, as
there might not be a MAC header.

This resolves issues with drivers (e.g. mlx5, in
mlx5e_tx_tunnel_accel()) who rely on the skb inner network header offset
to be correct, and use it for TX offloads.

[ Upstream commit d8a6213d70accb403b82924a1c229e733433a5ef ]

syzbot is able to trigger an uninit-value in geneve_xmit() [1]

Problem : While most ip tunnel helpers (like ip_tunnel_get_dsfield())
uses skb_protocol(skb, true), pskb_inet_may_pull() is only using
skb-&gt;protocol.

If anything else than ETH_P_IPV6 or ETH_P_IP is found in skb-&gt;protocol,
pskb_inet_may_pull() does nothing at all.

If a vlan tag was provided by the caller (af_packet in the syzbot case),
the network header might not point to the correct location, and skb
linear part could be smaller than expected.

Add skb_vlan_inet_prepare() to perform a complete mac validation.

Use this in geneve for the moment, I suspect we need to adopt this
more broadly.

v4 - Jakub reported v3 broke l2_tos_ttl_inherit.sh selftest
   - Only call __vlan_get_protocol() for vlan types.

<title>ip_tunnels: allow VXLAN/GENEVE to inherit TOS/TTL from VLAN</title>

commit 7074732c8faee201a245a6f983008a5789c0be33 upstream.

The current code allows for VXLAN and GENEVE to inherit the TOS
respective the TTL when skb-protocol is ETH_P_IP or ETH_P_IPV6.
However when the payload is VLAN encapsulated, then this inheriting
does not work, because the visible skb-protocol is of type
ETH_P_8021Q or ETH_P_8021AD.

Instead of skb-&gt;protocol use skb_protocol().

[ Upstream commit 31c417c948d7f6909cb63f0ac3298f3c38f8ce20 ]

As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, currently using TUNNEL_SEQ in
collect_md mode is racy for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices.  Consider the
following sequence of events:

1. An [IP6]GRE[TAP] device is created in collect_md mode using "ip link
   add ... external".  "ip" ignores "[o]seq" if "external" is specified,
   so TUNNEL_SEQ is off, and the device is marked as NETIF_F_LLTX (i.e.
   it uses lockless TX);
2. Someone sets TUNNEL_SEQ on outgoing skb's, using e.g.
   bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key() in an eBPF program attached to this device;
3. gre_fb_xmit() or __gre6_xmit() processes these skb's:

	gre_build_header(skb, tun_hlen,
			 flags, protocol,
			 tunnel_id_to_key32(tun_info-&gt;key.tun_id),
			 (flags &amp; TUNNEL_SEQ) ? htonl(tunnel-&gt;o_seqno++)
					      : 0);   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since we are not using the TX lock (&amp;txq-&gt;_xmit_lock), multiple CPUs may
try to do this tunnel-&gt;o_seqno++ in parallel, which is racy.  Fix it by
making o_seqno atomic_t.

As mentioned by Eric Dumazet in commit b790e01aee74 ("ip_gre: lockless
xmit"), making o_seqno atomic_t increases "chance for packets being out
of order at receiver" when NETIF_F_LLTX is on.

Maybe a better fix would be:

1. Do not ignore "oseq" in external mode.  Users MUST specify "oseq" if
   they want the kernel to allow sequencing of outgoing packets;
2. Reject all outgoing TUNNEL_SEQ packets if the device was not created
   with "oseq".

Unfortunately, that would break userspace.

We could now make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX, but let us
do it in separate patches to keep this fix minimal.

<title>ip_tunnels: Set tunnel option flag when tunnel metadata is present</title>

Currently, we may set the tunnel option flag when the size of metadata
is zero.  For example, we set TUNNEL_GENEVE_OPT in the receive function
no matter the geneve option is present or not.  As this may result in
issues on the tunnel flags consumers, this patch fixes the issue.

<title>tunnels: PMTU discovery support for directly bridged IP packets</title>

<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)
