ip6_tunnel: remove magic mtu value 0xFFF8

2018-06-11T20:48:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit f7ff1fde9441b4fcc8ffb6e66e6e5a00d008937e ] I don't know where this value comes from (probably a copy and paste and paste and paste ...). Let's use standard values which are a bit greater.

ip6_tunnel: better validate user provided tunnel names

ip6_tunnel: fix IFLA_MTU ignored on NEWLINK

2018-02-27T19:36:28+00:00

Commit 128bb975dc3c ("ip6_gre: init dev->mtu and dev->hard_header_len correctly") fixed IFLA_MTU ignored on NEWLINK for ip6_gre. The same mtu fix is also needed for ip6_tunnel. Note that dev->hard_header_len setting for ip6_tunnel works fine, no need to fix it. Reported-by: Jianlin Shi Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: don't call update_pmtu unconditionally

2018-01-25T21:27:34+00:00

Some dst_ops (e.g. md_dst_ops)) doesn't set this handler. It may result to: "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)" Let's add a helper to check if update_pmtu is available before calling it.

ip6_tunnel: allow ip6gre dev mtu to be set below 1280

2018-01-02T17:36:14+00:00

Commit 582442d6d5bc ("ipv6: Allow the MTU of ipip6 tunnel to be set below 1280") fixed a mtu setting issue. It works for ipip6 tunnel. But ip6gre dev updates the mtu also with ip6_tnl_change_mtu. Since the inner packet over ip6gre can be ipv4 and it's mtu should also be allowed to set below 1280, the same issue also exists on ip6gre. This patch is to fix it by simply changing to check if parms.proto is IPPROTO_IPV6 in ip6_tnl_change_mtu instead, to make ip6gre to go to 'else' branch.

ip6_tunnel: disable dst caching if tunnel is dual-stack

2018-01-02T17:31:12+00:00

When an ip6_tunnel is in mode 'any', where the transport layer protocol can be either 4 or 41, dst_cache must be disabled. This is because xfrm policies might apply to only one of the two protocols. Caching dst would cause xfrm policies for one protocol incorrectly used for the other. Signed-off-by: Eli Cooper Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Lots of overlapping changes. Also on the net-next side the XDP state management is handled more in the generic layers so undo the 'net' nfp fix which isn't applicable in net-next. Include a necessary change by Jakub Kicinski, with log message: ==================== cls_bpf no longer takes care of offload tracking. Make sure netdevsim performs necessary checks. This fixes a warning caused by TC trying to remove a filter it has not added. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip6_tunnel: get the min mtu properly in ip6_tnl_xmit

2017-12-19T18:45:33+00:00

Now it's using IPV6_MIN_MTU as the min mtu in ip6_tnl_xmit, but IPV6_MIN_MTU actually only works when the inner packet is ipv6. With IPV6_MIN_MTU for ipv4 packets, the new pmtu for inner dst couldn't be set less than 1280. It would cause tx_err and the packet to be dropped when the outer dst pmtu is close to 1280. Jianlin found it by running ipv4 traffic with the topo: (client) gre6 <---> eth1 (route) eth2 <---> gre6 (server) After changing eth2 mtu to 1300, the performance became very low, or the connection was even broken. The issue also affects ip4ip6 and ip6ip6 tunnels. So if the inner packet is ipv4, 576 should be considered as the min mtu. Note that for ip4ip6 and ip6ip6 tunnels, the inner packet can only be ipv4 or ipv6, but for gre6 tunnel, it may also be ARP. This patch using 576 as the min mtu for non-ipv6 packet works for all those cases. Reported-by: Jianlin Shi Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
