ipv4: Drop tos parameter from flowi4_update_output()

2025-05-18T06:21:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3f06760c00f56c5fe6c7f3361c2cf64becee1174 ] Callers of flowi4_update_output() never try to update ->flowi4_tos: * ip_route_connect() updates ->flowi4_tos with its own current value. * ip_route_newports() has two users: tcp_v4_connect() and dccp_v4_connect. Both initialise fl4 with ip_route_connect(), which in turn sets ->flowi4_tos with RT_TOS(inet_sk(sk)->tos) and ->flowi4_scope based on SOCK_LOCALROUTE. Then ip_route_newports() updates ->flowi4_tos with RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), which is the same as RT_TOS(inet_sk(sk)->tos), unless SOCK_LOCALROUTE is set on the socket. In that case, the lowest order bit is set to 1, to eventually inform ip_route_output_key_hash() to restrict the scope to RT_SCOPE_LINK. This is equivalent to properly setting ->flowi4_scope as ip_route_connect() did. * ip_vs_xmit.c initialises ->flowi4_tos with memset(0), then calls flowi4_update_output() with tos=0. * sctp_v4_get_dst() uses the same RT_CONN_FLAGS_TOS() when initialising ->flowi4_tos and when calling flowi4_update_output(). In the end, ->flowi4_tos never changes. So let's just drop the tos parameter. This will simplify the conversion of ->flowi4_tos from __u8 to dscp_t.

ipv4: Convert ip_route_input() to dscp_t.

2025-03-07T15:56:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7e863e5db6185b1add0df4cb01b31a4ed1c4b738 ] Pass a dscp_t variable to ip_route_input(), instead of a plain u8, to prevent accidental setting of ECN bits in ->flowi4_tos. Callers of ip_route_input() to consider are: * input_action_end_dx4_finish() and input_action_end_dt4() in net/ipv6/seg6_local.c. These functions set the tos parameter to 0, which is already a valid dscp_t value, so they don't need to be adjusted for the new prototype. * icmp_route_lookup(), which already has a dscp_t variable to pass as parameter. We just need to remove the inet_dscp_to_dsfield() conversion. * br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), ip_options_rcv_srr() and ip4ip6_err(), which get the DSCP directly from IPv4 headers. Define a helper to read the .tos field of struct iphdr as dscp_t, so that these function don't have to do the conversion manually. While there, declare *iph as const in br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), declare its local variables in reverse-christmas-tree order and move the "err = ip_route_input()" assignment out of the conditional to avoid checkpatch warning.

[ Upstream commit 058a8f7f73aae1cc22b53fcefec031b9e391b54d ] This patch adds three APIs to replace the iph->tot_len setting and getting in all places where IPv4 BIG TCP packets may reach, they will be used in the following patches. Note that iph_totlen() will be used when iph is not in linear data of the skb.

xfrm: no need to set DST_NOPOLICY in IPv4

2022-06-10T09:01:36+00:00

This is a cleanup patch following commit e6175a2ed1f1 ("xfrm: fix "disable_policy" flag use when arriving from different devices") which made DST_NOPOLICY no longer be used for inbound policy checks. On outbound the flag was set, but never used. As such, avoid setting it altogether and remove the nopolicy argument from rt_dst_alloc().
