net: Clear old fragment checksum value in napi_reuse_skb

2025-03-07T15:56:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 49806fe6e61b045b5be8610e08b5a3083c109aa0 ] In certain cases, napi_get_frags() returns an skb that points to an old received fragment, This skb may have its skb->ip_summed, csum, and other fields set from previous fragment handling. Some network drivers set skb->ip_summed to either CHECKSUM_COMPLETE or CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when getting skb from napi_get_frags(), while others only set skb->ip_summed when RX checksum offload is enabled on the device, and do not set any value for skb->ip_summed when hardware checksum offload is disabled, assuming that the skb->ip_summed initiated to zero by napi_reuse_skb, ionic driver for example will ignore/unset any value for the ip_summed filed if HW checksum offload is disabled, and if we have a situation where the user disables the checksum offload during a traffic that could lead to the following errors shown in the kernel logs: dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x48 __skb_gro_checksum_complete+0x7e/0x90 tcp6_gro_receive+0xc6/0x190 ipv6_gro_receive+0x1ec/0x430 dev_gro_receive+0x188/0x360 ? ionic_rx_clean+0x25a/0x460 [ionic] napi_gro_frags+0x13c/0x300 ? __pfx_ionic_rx_service+0x10/0x10 [ionic] ionic_rx_service+0x67/0x80 [ionic] ionic_cq_service+0x58/0x90 [ionic] ionic_txrx_napi+0x64/0x1b0 [ionic] __napi_poll+0x27/0x170 net_rx_action+0x29c/0x370 handle_softirqs+0xce/0x270 __irq_exit_rcu+0xa3/0xc0 common_interrupt+0x80/0xa0 This inconsistency sometimes leads to checksum validation issues in the upper layers of the network stack. To resolve this, this patch clears the skb->ip_summed value for each reused skb in by napi_reuse_skb(), ensuring that the caller is responsible for setting the correct checksum status. This eliminates potential checksum validation issues caused by improper handling of skb->ip_summed.

gro: fix ownership transfer

2024-04-10T14:28:26+00:00

commit ed4cccef64c1d0d5b91e69f7a8a6697c3a865486 upstream. If packets are GROed with fraglist they might be segmented later on and continue their journey in the stack. In skb_segment_list those skbs can be reused as-is. This is an issue as their destructor was removed in skb_gro_receive_list but not the reference to their socket, and then they can't be orphaned. Fix this by also removing the reference to the socket. For example this could be observed, kernel BUG at include/linux/skbuff.h:3131!

skb: Do mix page pool and page referenced frags in GRO

2023-02-09T10:28:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7d2c89b325874a35564db5630a459966afab04cc ] GSO should not merge page pool recycled frames with standard reference counted frames. Traditionally this didn't occur, at least not often. However as we start looking at adding support for wireless adapters there becomes the potential to mix the two due to A-MSDU repartitioning frames in the receive path. There are possibly other places where this may have occurred however I suspect they must be few and far between as we have not seen this issue until now.

gro: add support of (hw)gro packets to gro stack

2022-10-03T11:38:34+00:00

Current GRO stack only supports incoming packets containing one frame/MSS. This patch changes GRO to accept packets that are already GRO. HW-GRO (aka RSC for some vendors) is very often limited in presence of interleaved packets. Linux SW GRO stack can complete the job and provide larger GRO packets, thus reducing rate of ACK packets and cpu overhead. This also means BIG TCP can still be used, even if HW-GRO/RSC was able to cook ~64 KB GRO packets. v2: fix logic in tcp_gro_receive() Only support TCP for the moment (Paolo) Co-Developed-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Coco Li Acked-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.

net: allow gro_max_size to exceed 65536

2022-05-16T09:18:56+00:00

Allow the gro_max_size to exceed a value larger than 65536. There weren't really any external limitations that prevented this other than the fact that IPv4 only supports a 16 bit length field. Since we have the option of adding a hop-by-hop header for IPv6 we can allow IPv6 to exceed this value and for IPv4 and non-TCP flows we can cap things at 65536 via a constant rather than relying on gro_max_size. [edumazet] limit GRO_MAX_SIZE to (8 * 65535) to avoid overflows. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Fix esp GSO on inter address family tunnels.

2022-03-07T12:14:04+00:00

The esp tunnel GSO handlers use skb_mac_gso_segment to push the inner packet to the segmentation handlers. However, skb_mac_gso_segment takes the Ethernet Protocol ID from 'skb->protocol' which is wrong for inter address family tunnels. We fix this by introducing a new skb_eth_gso_segment function. This function can be used if it is necessary to pass the Ethernet Protocol ID directly to the segmentation handler. First users of this function will be the esp4 and esp6 tunnel segmentation handlers. Fixes: c35fe4106b92 ("xfrm: Add mode handlers for IPsec on layer 2") Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert
