ip6_gre: make ip6gre_header() robust

2026-01-08T09:14:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit db5b4e39c4e63700c68a7e65fc4e1f1375273476 ] Over the years, syzbot found many ways to crash the kernel in ip6gre_header() [1]. This involves team or bonding drivers ability to dynamically change their dev->needed_headroom and/or dev->hard_header_len In this particular crash mld_newpack() allocated an skb with a too small reserve/headroom, and by the time mld_sendpack() was called, syzbot managed to attach an ip6gre device.

net: ipv6: Init tunnel link-netns before registering dev

2025-05-29T09:02:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit db014522f35606031d8ac58b4aed6b1ed84f03d1 ] Currently some IPv6 tunnel drivers set tnl->net to dev_net(dev) in ndo_init(), which is called in register_netdevice(). However, it lacks the context of link-netns when we enable cross-net tunnels at device registration time. Let's move the init of tunnel link-netns before register_netdevice(). ip6_gre has already initialized netns, so just remove the redundant assignment.

net: ip6_gre: Remove generic .ndo_get_stats64

2024-04-15T10:32:13+00:00

Commit 3e2f544dd8a33 ("net: get stats64 if device if driver is configured") moved the callback to dev_get_tstats64() to net core, so, unless the driver is doing some custom stats collection, it does not need to set .ndo_get_stats64. Since this driver is now relying in NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS, then, it doesn't need to set the dev_get_tstats64() generic .ndo_get_stats64 function pointer.

net: ipv6_gre: Do not use custom stat allocator

2024-04-15T10:32:13+00:00

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead of in this driver. With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now. Remove the allocation in the ip6_gre and leverage the network core allocation instead. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip_tunnel: convert __be16 tunnel flags to bitmaps

2024-04-01T09:49:28+00:00

Historically, tunnel flags like TUNNEL_CSUM or TUNNEL_ERSPAN_OPT have been defined as __be16. Now all of those 16 bits are occupied and there's no more free space for new flags. It can't be simply switched to a bigger container with no adjustments to the values, since it's an explicit Endian storage, and on LE systems (__be16)0x0001 equals to (__be64)0x0001000000000000. We could probably define new 64-bit flags depending on the Endianness, i.e. (__be64)0x0001 on BE and (__be64)0x00010000... on LE, but that would introduce an Endianness dependency and spawn a ton of Sparse warnings. To mitigate them, all of those places which were adjusted with this change would be touched anyway, so why not define stuff properly if there's no choice. Define IP_TUNNEL_*_BIT counterparts as a bit number instead of the value already coded and a fistful of <16 <-> bitmap> converters and helpers. The two flags which have a different bit position are SIT_ISATAP_BIT and VTI_ISVTI_BIT, as they were defined not as __cpu_to_be16(), but as (__force __be16), i.e. had different positions on LE and BE. Now they both have strongly defined places. Change all __be16 fields which were used to store those flags, to IP_TUNNEL_DECLARE_FLAGS() -> DECLARE_BITMAP(__IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_NUM) -> unsigned long[1] for now, and replace all TUNNEL_* occurrences to their bitmap counterparts. Use the converters in the places which talk to the userspace, hardware (NFP) or other hosts (GRE header). The rest must explicitly use the new flags only. This must be done at once, otherwise there will be too many conversions throughout the code in the intermediate commits. Finally, disable the old __be16 flags for use in the kernel code (except for the two 'irregular' flags mentioned above), to prevent any accidental (mis)use of them. For the userspace, nothing is changed, only additions were made. Most noticeable bloat-o-meter difference (.text): vmlinux: 307/-1 (306) gre.ko: 62/0 (62) ip_gre.ko: 941/-217 (724) [*] ip_tunnel.ko: 390/-900 (-510) [**] ip_vti.ko: 138/0 (138) ip6_gre.ko: 534/-18 (516) [*] ip6_tunnel.ko: 118/-10 (108) [*] gre_flags_to_tnl_flags() grew, but still is inlined [**] ip_tunnel_find() got uninlined, hence such decrease The average code size increase in non-extreme case is 100-200 bytes per module, mostly due to sizeof(long) > sizeof(__be16), as %__IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_NUM is less than %BITS_PER_LONG and the compilers are able to expand the majority of bitmap_*() calls here into direct operations on scalars.
