net: gso: Forbid IPv6 TSO with extensions on devices with only IPV6_CSUM

2025-08-28T14:26:17Z

[ Upstream commit 864e3396976ef41de6cc7bc366276bf4e084fff2 ] When performing Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) on an IPv6 packet that contains extension headers, the kernel incorrectly requests checksum offload if the egress device only advertises NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM feature, which has a strict contract: it supports checksum offload only for plain TCP or UDP over IPv6 and explicitly does not support packets with extension headers. The current GSO logic violates this contract by failing to disable the feature for packets with extension headers, such as those used in GREoIPv6 tunnels. This violation results in the device being asked to perform an operation it cannot support, leading to a `skb_warn_bad_offload` warning and a collapse of network throughput. While device TSO/USO is correctly bypassed in favor of software GSO for these packets, the GSO stack must be explicitly told not to request checksum offload. Mask NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, NETIF_F_TSO6 and NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 in gso_features_check if the IPv6 header contains extension headers to compute checksum in software. The exception is a BIG TCP extension, which, as stated in commit 68e068cabd2c6c53 ("net: reenable NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM offload for BIG TCP packets"): "The feature is only enabled on devices that support BIG TCP TSO. The header is only present for PF_PACKET taps like tcpdump, and not transmitted by physical devices." kernel log output (truncated): WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5273 at net/core/dev.c:3535 skb_warn_bad_offload+0x81/0x140 ...

netpoll: prevent hanging NAPI when netcons gets enabled

2025-08-15T10:05:09Z

[ Upstream commit 2da4def0f487f24bbb0cece3bb2bcdcb918a0b72 ] Paolo spotted hangs in NIPA running driver tests against virtio. The tests hang in virtnet_close() -> virtnet_napi_tx_disable(). The problem is only reproducible if running multiple of our tests in sequence (I used TEST_PROGS="xdp.py ping.py netcons_basic.sh \ netpoll_basic.py stats.py"). Initial suspicion was that this is a simple case of double-disable of NAPI, but instrumenting the code reveals: Deadlocked on NAPI ffff888007cd82c0 (virtnet_poll_tx): state: 0x37, disabled: false, owner: 0, listed: false, weight: 64 The NAPI was not in fact disabled, owner is 0 (rather than -1), so the NAPI "thinks" it's scheduled for CPU 0 but it's not listed (!list_empty(&n->poll_list) => false). It seems odd that normal NAPI processing would wedge itself like this. Better suspicion is that netpoll gets enabled while NAPI is polling, and also grabs the NAPI instance. This confuses napi_complete_done(): [netpoll] [normal NAPI] napi_poll() have = netpoll_poll_lock() rcu_access_pointer(dev->npinfo) return NULL # no netpoll __napi_poll() ->poll(->weight) poll_napi() cmpxchg(->poll_owner, -1, cpu) poll_one_napi() set_bit(NAPI_STATE_NPSVC, ->state) napi_complete_done() if (NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC) return false # exit without clearing SCHED This feels very unlikely, but perhaps virtio has some interactions with the hypervisor in the NAPI ->poll that makes the race window larger? Best I could to to prove the theory was to add and trigger this warning in napi_poll (just before netpoll_poll_unlock()): WARN_ONCE(!have && rcu_access_pointer(n->dev->npinfo) && napi_is_scheduled(n) && list_empty(&n->poll_list), "NAPI race with netpoll %px", n); If this warning hits the next virtio_close() will hang. This patch survived 30 test iterations without a hang (without it the longest clean run was around 10). Credit for triggering this goes to Breno's recent netconsole tests.

bpf: Check flow_dissector ctx accesses are aligned

[ Upstream commit ead3d7b2b6afa5ee7958620c4329982a7d9c2b78 ] flow_dissector_is_valid_access doesn't check that the context access is aligned. As a consequence, an unaligned access within one of the exposed field is considered valid and later rejected by flow_dissector_convert_ctx_access when we try to convert it.

bpf, sockmap: Fix psock incorrectly pointing to sk

2025-08-15T10:04:56Z

[ Upstream commit 76be5fae32febb1fdb848ba09f78c4b2c76cb337 ] We observed an issue from the latest selftest: sockmap_redir where sk_psock(psock->sk) != psock in the backlog. The root cause is the special behavior in sockmap_redir - it frequently performs map_update() and map_delete() on the same socket. During map_update(), we create a new psock and during map_delete(), we eventually free the psock via rcu_work in sk_psock_drop(). However, pending workqueues might still exist and not be processed yet. If users immediately perform another map_update(), a new psock will be allocated for the same sk, resulting in two psocks pointing to the same sk. When the pending workqueue is later triggered, it uses the old psock to access sk for I/O operations, which is incorrect. Timing Diagram: cpu0 cpu1 map_update(sk): sk->psock = psock1 psock1->sk = sk map_delete(sk): rcu_work_free(psock1) map_update(sk): sk->psock = psock2 psock2->sk = sk workqueue: wakeup with psock1, but the sk of psock1 doesn't belong to psock1 rcu_handler: clean psock1 free(psock1) Previously, we used reference counting to address the concurrency issue between backlog and sock_map_close(). This logic remains necessary as it prevents the sk from being freed while processing the backlog. But this patch prevents pending backlogs from using a psock after it has been stopped. Note: We cannot call cancel_delayed_work_sync() in map_delete() since this might be invoked in BPF context by BPF helper, and the function may sleep.

bpf: Fix L4 csum update on IPv6 in CHECKSUM_COMPLETE

2025-06-27T10:07:38Z

commit ead7f9b8de65632ef8060b84b0c55049a33cfea1 upstream. In Cilium, we use bpf_csum_diff + bpf_l4_csum_replace to, among other things, update the L4 checksum after reverse SNATing IPv6 packets. That use case is however not currently supported and leads to invalid skb->csum values in some cases. This patch adds support for IPv6 address changes in bpf_l4_csum_update via a new flag. When calling bpf_l4_csum_replace in Cilium, it ends up calling inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff: 1: void inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff(__sum16 *sum, struct sk_buff *skb, 2: __wsum diff, bool pseudohdr) 3: { 4: if (skb->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) { 5: csum_replace_by_diff(sum, diff); 6: if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE && pseudohdr) 7: skb->csum = ~csum_sub(diff, skb->csum); 8: } else if (pseudohdr) { 9: *sum = ~csum_fold(csum_add(diff, csum_unfold(*sum))); 10: } 11: } The bug happens when we're in the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE state. We've just updated one of the IPv6 addresses. The helper now updates the L4 header checksum on line 5. Next, it updates skb->csum on line 7. It shouldn't. For an IPv6 packet, the updates of the IPv6 address and of the L4 checksum will cancel each other. The checksums are set such that computing a checksum over the packet including its checksum will result in a sum of 0. So the same is true here when we update the L4 checksum on line 5. We'll update it as to cancel the previous IPv6 address update. Hence skb->csum should remain untouched in this case. The same bug doesn't affect IPv4 packets because, in that case, three fields are updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4 checksum. The change to the IPv4 address and one of the checksums still cancel each other in skb->csum, but we're left with one checksum update and should therefore update skb->csum accordingly. That's exactly what inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff does. This special case for IPv6 L4 checksums is also described atop inet_proto_csum_replace16, the function we should be using in this case. This patch introduces a new bpf_l4_csum_replace flag, BPF_F_IPV6, to indicate that we're updating the L4 checksum of an IPv6 packet. When the flag is set, inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff will skip the skb->csum update.

net: Fix checksum update for ILA adj-transport

2025-06-27T10:07:38Z

commit 6043b794c7668c19dabc4a93c75b924a19474d59 upstream. During ILA address translations, the L4 checksums can be handled in different ways. One of them, adj-transport, consist in parsing the transport layer and updating any found checksum. This logic relies on inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and produces an incorrect skb->csum when in state CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. This bug can be reproduced with a simple ILA to SIR mapping, assuming packets are received with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: $ ip a show dev eth0 14: eth0@if15: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 62:ae:35:9e:0f:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0 inet6 3333:0:0:1::c078/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fd00:10:244:1::c078/128 scope global nodad valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::60ae:35ff:fe9e:f8d/64 scope link proto kernel_ll valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip ila add loc_match fd00:10:244:1 loc 3333:0:0:1 \ csum-mode adj-transport ident-type luid dev eth0 Then I hit [fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000 with a server listening only on [3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000. With the bug, the SYN packet is dropped with SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CSUM after inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff changed skb->csum.

The L4 checksum is updated such that it "cancels" the IPv6 address change in terms of checksum computation, so the impact on skb->csum is null. Note this would be different for an IPv4 packet since three fields would be updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4 checksum. Two would cancel each other and skb->csum would still need to be updated to take the L4 checksum change into account. This patch fixes it by passing an ipv6 flag to inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, to skip the skb->csum update if we're in the IPv6 case. Note the behavior of the only other user of inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, the BPF subsystem, is left as is in this patch and fixed in the subsequent patch. With the fix, using the reproduction from above, I can confirm skb->csum is not touched by inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and the TCP SYN proceeds to the application after the ILA translation.
