xfrm: Fix inner mode lookup in tunnel mode GSO segmentation

2026-01-30T09:27:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3d5221af9c7711b7aec8da1298c8fc393ef6183d ] Commit 61fafbee6cfe ("xfrm: Determine inner GSO type from packet inner protocol") attempted to fix GSO segmentation by reading the inner protocol from XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol. This was incorrect because the field holds the inner L4 protocol (TCP/UDP) instead of the required tunnel protocol. Also, the memory location (shared by XFRM_SKB_CB(skb) which could be overwritten by xfrm_replay_overflow()) is prone to corruption. This combination caused the kernel to select the wrong inner mode and get the wrong address family. The correct value is in xfrm_offload(skb)->proto, which is set from the outer tunnel header's protocol field by esp[4|6]_gso_encap(). It is initialized by xfrm[4|6]_tunnel_encap_add() to either IPPROTO_IPIP or IPPROTO_IPV6, using xfrm_af2proto() and correctly reflects the inner packet's address family.

xfrm: Determine inner GSO type from packet inner protocol

2025-12-01T10:41:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 61fafbee6cfed283c02a320896089f658fa67e56 ] The GSO segmentation functions for ESP tunnel mode (xfrm4_tunnel_gso_segment and xfrm6_tunnel_gso_segment) were determining the inner packet's L2 protocol type by checking the static x->inner_mode.family field from the xfrm state. This is unreliable. In tunnel mode, the state's actual inner family could be defined by x->inner_mode.family or by x->inner_mode_iaf.family. Checking only the former can lead to a mismatch with the actual packet being processed, causing GSO to create segments with the wrong L2 header type. This patch fixes the bug by deriving the inner mode directly from the packet's inner protocol stored in XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol. Instead of replicating the code, this patch modifies the xfrm_ip2inner_mode helper function. It now correctly returns &x->inner_mode if the selector family (x->sel.family) is already specified, thereby handling both specific and AF_UNSPEC cases appropriately. With this change, ESP GSO can use xfrm_ip2inner_mode to get the correct inner mode. It doesn't affect existing callers, as the updated logic now mirrors the checks they were already performing externally.

xfrm: Linearize the skb after offloading if needed.

2023-06-16T08:29:50+00:00

With offloading enabled, esp_xmit() gets invoked very late, from within validate_xmit_xfrm() which is after validate_xmit_skb() validates and linearizes the skb if the underlying device does not support fragments. esp_output_tail() may add a fragment to the skb while adding the auth tag/ IV. Devices without the proper support will then send skb->data points to with the correct length so the packet will have garbage at the end. A pcap sniffer will claim that the proper data has been sent since it parses the skb properly. It is not affected with INET_ESP_OFFLOAD disabled. Linearize the skb after offloading if the sending hardware requires it. It was tested on v4, v6 has been adopted.

xfrm: replay: Fix ESN wrap around for GSO

2022-10-19T07:00:53+00:00

When using GSO it can happen that the wrong seq_hi is used for the last packets before the wrap around. This can lead to double usage of a sequence number. To avoid this, we should serialize this last GSO packet.

esp: choose the correct inner protocol for GSO on inter address family tunnels

2022-08-29T08:20:58+00:00

Commit 23c7f8d7989e ("net: Fix esp GSO on inter address family tunnels.") is incomplete. It passes to skb_eth_gso_segment the protocol for the outer IP version, instead of the inner IP version, so we end up calling inet_gso_segment on an inner IPv6 packet and ipv6_gso_segment on an inner IPv4 packet and the packets are dropped. This patch completes the fix by selecting the correct protocol based on the inner mode's family.

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
