gro: various fixes related to UDP tunnels
We found issues when a UDP tunnel endpoint is in a different netns than
where UDP GRO happens. This kind of setup is actually quite diverse,
from having one leg of the tunnel on a remove host, to having a tunnel
between netns (eg. being bridged in another one or on the host). In our
case that UDP tunnel was geneve.
UDP tunnel packets should not be GROed at the UDP level. The fundamental
issue here is such packet can't be detected in a foolproof way: we can't
know by looking at a packet alone and the current logic of looking up
UDP sockets is fragile (socket could be in another netns, packet could
be modified in between, etc). Because there is no way to make the GRO
code to correctly handle those packets in all cases, this series aims at
two things: making the net stack to correctly behave (as in, no crash
and no invalid packet) when such thing happens, and in some cases to
prevent this "early GRO" from happening.
First three patches fix issues when an "UDP tunneled" packet is being
GROed too early by rx-udp-gro-forwarding or rx-gro-list.
Last patch is preventing locally generated UDP tunnel packets from being
GROed. This turns out to be more complex than this patch alone as it
relies on skb->encapsulation which is currently untrusty in some cases
(see iptunnel_handle_offloads); but that should fix things in practice
and is acceptable for a fix. Future work is required to improve things
(prevent all locally generated UDP tunnel packets from being GROed),
such as fixing the misuse of skb->encapsulation in drivers; but that
would be net-next material.
Thanks!
