ipv4: reject undersized MTUs in ip_do_fragment()

2026-08-27T12:28:21+00:00

commit c0726f0caf8c6b3208552949e17d23634a2f3129 upstream. ip_do_fragment() subtracts the IPv4 header length from the effective MTU and passes the resulting payload MTU to ip_frag_next(). If the effective MTU is smaller than hlen + 8, ip_frag_next() rounds the fragment payload length down to zero. The fragmentation state then never makes forward progress: state->left, state->ptr and state->offset stay unchanged while ip_do_fragment() keeps allocating and transmitting header-only fragments until the softlockup detector fires. This is reproducible with a route installed using "mtu lock 20", but it is also reproducible without route MTU lock, for example by forwarding a packet to a device whose MTU is 20. Fix it in ip_do_fragment() by rejecting mtu < hlen + 8 with -EMSGSIZE, matching the existing IPv6 fragmentation check.

xfrm: esp: ipv4: fix up flags setting

In commit ab8b995323e5 ("xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags") in the 5.15.y tree, the tx_flags variable was set, instead of flags. This was due to me backporting the 6.1.y version of Ben's version of the backport and not realizing the variable needed to be different, so this was my fault, not his.

xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags

2026-05-08T10:46:21+00:00

commit f4c50a4034e62ab75f1d5cdd191dd5f9c77fdff4 upstream. MSG_SPLICE_PAGES can attach pages from a pipe directly to an skb. TCP marks such skbs with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG after skb_splice_from_iter(), so later paths that may modify packet data can first make a private copy. The IPv4/IPv6 datagram append paths did not set this flag when splicing pages into UDP skbs. That leaves an ESP-in-UDP packet made from shared pipe pages looking like an ordinary uncloned nonlinear skb. ESP input then takes the no-COW fast path for uncloned skbs without a frag_list and decrypts in place over data that is not owned privately by the skb. Mark IPv4/IPv6 datagram splice frags with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG, matching TCP. Also make ESP input fall back to skb_cow_data() when the flag is present, so ESP does not decrypt externally backed frags in place. Private nonlinear skb frags still use the existing fast path. This intentionally does not change ESP output. In esp_output_head(), the path that appends the ESP trailer to existing skb tailroom without calling skb_cow_data() is not reachable for nonlinear skbs: skb_tailroom() returns zero when skb->data_len is nonzero, while ESP tailen is positive. Thus ESP output will either use the separate destination-frag path or fall back to skb_cow_data().

net: Add locking to protect skb->dev access in ip_output

2026-02-06T15:42:01+00:00

commit 1dbf1d590d10a6d1978e8184f8dfe20af22d680a upstream. In ip_output() skb->dev is updated from the skb_dst(skb)->dev this can become invalid when the interface is unregistered and freed, Introduced new skb_dst_dev_rcu() function to be used instead of skb_dst_dev() within rcu_locks in ip_output.This will ensure that all the skb's associated with the dev being deregistered will be transnmitted out first, before freeing the dev. Given that ip_output() is called within an rcu_read_lock() critical section or from a bottom-half context, it is safe to introduce an RCU read-side critical section within it. Multiple panic call stacks were observed when UL traffic was run in concurrency with device deregistration from different functions, pasting one sample for reference.

ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb()

2026-01-19T12:10:12+00:00

commit fc1092f51567277509563800a3c56732070b6aa4 upstream. KMSAN reported uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb() [1]. __ip_make_skb() tests HDRINCL to know if the skb has icmphdr. However, HDRINCL can cause a race condition. If calling setsockopt(2) with IP_HDRINCL changes HDRINCL while __ip_make_skb() is running, the function will access icmphdr in the skb even if it is not included. This causes the issue reported by KMSAN. Check FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH on fl4->flowi4_flags instead of testing HDRINCL on the socket. Also, fl4->fl4_icmp_type and fl4->fl4_icmp_code are not initialized. These are union in struct flowi4 and are implicitly initialized by flowi4_init_output(), but we should not rely on specific union layout. Initialize these explicitly in raw_sendmsg().

lwt: Check LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE strictly

[ Upstream commit a171fbec88a2c730b108c7147ac5e7b2f5a02b47 ] LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE is implicitly assumed in ip(6)_finish_output2, such that any positive return value from a xmit hook could cause unexpected continue behavior, despite that related skb may have been freed. This could be error-prone for future xmit hook ops. One of the possible errors is to return statuses of dst_output directly. To make the code safer, redefine LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE value to distinguish from dst_output statuses and check the continue condition explicitly.
