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

2025-10-23T14:20:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1dbf1d590d10a6d1978e8184f8dfe20af22d680a ] 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: Unmask upper DSCP bits in __ip_queue_xmit()

2024-09-04T23:57:11+00:00

The function is passed the full DS field in its 'tos' argument by its two callers. It then masks the upper DSCP bits using RT_TOS() when passing it to ip_route_output_ports(). Unmask the upper DSCP bits when passing 'tos' to ip_route_output_ports() so that in the future it could perform the FIB lookup according to the full DSCP value.

l2tp: use skb_queue_purge in l2tp_ip_destroy_sock

2024-08-20T23:52:28+00:00

Recent commit ed8ebee6def7 ("l2tp: have l2tp_ip_destroy_sock use ip_flush_pending_frames") was incorrect in that l2tp_ip does not use socket cork and ip_flush_pending_frames is for sockets that do. Use __skb_queue_purge instead and remove the unnecessary lock. Also unexport ip_flush_pending_frames since it was originally exported in commit 4ff8863419cd ("ipv4: export ip_flush_pending_frames") for l2tp and is not used by other modules.

net: Add additional bit to support clockid_t timestamp type

2024-05-23T21:14:36+00:00

tstamp_type is now set based on actual clockid_t compressed into 2 bits. To make the design scalable for future needs this commit bring in the change to extend the tstamp_type:1 to tstamp_type:2 to support other clockid_t timestamp. We now support CLOCK_TAI as part of tstamp_type as part of this commit with existing support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.

net: Rename mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type for scalabilty

2024-05-23T21:14:23+00:00

mono_delivery_time was added to check if skb->tstamp has delivery time in mono clock base (i.e. EDT) otherwise skb->tstamp has timestamp in ingress and delivery_time at egress. Renaming the bitfield from mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type is for extensibilty for other timestamps such as userspace timestamp (i.e. SO_TXTIME) set via sock opts. As we are renaming the mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type, it makes sense to start assigning tstamp_type based on enum defined in this commit. Earlier we used bool arg flag to check if the tstamp is mono in function skb_set_delivery_time, Now the signature of the functions accepts tstamp_type to distinguish between mono and real time. Also skb_set_delivery_type_by_clockid is a new function which accepts clockid to determine the tstamp_type. In future tstamp_type:1 can be extended to support userspace timestamp by increasing the bitfield.

ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb()

2024-05-02T08:16:35+00:00

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().
