<content type='text'>
commit 12378a5a75e33f34f8586706eb61cca9e6d4690c upstream.

When a packet enters the OVS datapath and does not match any existing
flows installed in the kernel flow cache, the packet will be sent to
userspace to be parsed, and a new flow will be created. The kernel and
OVS rely on each other to parse packet fields in the same way so that
packets will be handled properly.

As per the design document linked below, OVS expects all later IPv6
fragments to have nw_proto=44 in the flow key, so they can be correctly
matched on OpenFlow rules. OpenFlow controllers create pipelines based
on this design.

This behavior was changed by the commit in the Fixes tag so that
nw_proto equals the next_header field of the last extension header.
However, there is no counterpart for this change in OVS userspace,
meaning that this field is parsed differently between OVS and the
kernel. This is a problem because OVS creates actions based on what is
parsed in userspace, but the kernel-provided flow key is used as a match
criteria, as described in Documentation/networking/openvswitch.rst. This
leads to issues such as packets incorrectly matching on a flow and thus
the wrong list of actions being applied to the packet. Such changes in
packet parsing cannot be implemented without breaking the userspace.

The offending commit is partially reverted to restore the expected
behavior.

The change technically made sense and there is a good reason that it was
implemented, but it does not comply with the original design of OVS.
If in the future someone wants to implement such a change, then it must
be user-configurable and disabled by default to preserve backwards
compatibility with existing OVS versions.

<title>net: openvswitch: fix misuse of the cached connection on tuple changes</title>

commit 2061ecfdf2350994e5b61c43e50e98a7a70e95ee upstream.

If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant
for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet
classification.

This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments
with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped.

The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple
changes between them:

  actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)),
          set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)),
          set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)),
          ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4)

After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully
re-written.  The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry
and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the
pipeline.

Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed
to avoid the issue.

The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still
be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after
the tuple change but before the next ct() action.

commit cefa91b2332d7009bc0be5d951d6cbbf349f90f8 upstream.

Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and
reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, if next_offset is
greater than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE, the function reserve_sfa_size() does
not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, but it allocates MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE
bytes increasing actions_len by req_size. This can then lead to an OOB
write access, especially when further actions need to be copied.

Fix it by rearranging the flow action size check.

[ Upstream commit 1f30fb9166d4f15a1aa19449b9da871fe0ed4796 ]

While parsing user-provided actions, openvswitch module may dynamically
allocate memory and store pointers in the internal copy of the actions.
So this memory has to be freed while destroying the actions.

Currently there are only two such actions: ct() and set().  However,
there are many actions that can hold nested lists of actions and
ovs_nla_free_flow_actions() just jumps over them leaking the memory.

For example, removal of the flow with the following actions will lead
to a leak of the memory allocated by nf_ct_tmpl_alloc():

  actions:clone(ct(commit),0)

Non-freed set() action may also leak the 'dst' structure for the
tunnel info including device references.

Under certain conditions with a high rate of flow rotation that may
cause significant memory leak problem (2MB per second in reporter's
case).  The problem is also hard to mitigate, because the user doesn't
have direct control over the datapath flows generated by OVS.

Fix that by iterating over all the nested actions and freeing
everything that needs to be freed recursively.

New build time assertion should protect us from this problem if new
actions will be added in the future.

Unfortunately, openvswitch module doesn't use NLA_F_NESTED, so all
attributes has to be explicitly checked.  sample() and clone() actions
are mixing extra attributes into the user-provided action list.  That
prevents some code generalization too.

[ Upstream commit 3f2a3050b4a3e7f32fc0ea3c9b0183090ae00522 ]

'OVS_CLONE_ATTR_EXEC' is an internal attribute that is used for
performance optimization inside the kernel.  It's added by the kernel
while parsing user-provided actions and should not be sent during the
flow dump as it's not part of the uAPI.

The issue doesn't cause any significant problems to the ovs-vswitchd
process, because reported actions are not really used in the
application lifecycle and only supposed to be shown to a human via
ovs-dpctl flow dump.  However, the action list is still incorrect
and causes the following error if the user wants to look at the
datapath flows:

  # ovs-dpctl add-dp system@ovs-system
  # ovs-dpctl add-flow "&lt;flow match&gt;" "clone(ct(commit),0)"
  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(bad length 4, expected -1 for: action0(01 00 00 00),
                  ct(commit),0)

With the fix:

  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(ct(commit),0)

Additionally fixed an incorrect attribute name in the comment.

[ Upstream commit 60b44ca6bd7518dd38fa2719bc9240378b6172c3 ]

During NAT, a tuple collision may occur.  When this happens, openvswitch
will make a second pass through NAT which will perform additional packet
modification.  This will update the skb data, but not the flow key that
OVS uses.  This means that future flow lookups, and packet matches will
have incorrect data.  This has been supported since
5d50aa83e2c8 ("openvswitch: support asymmetric conntrack").

That commit failed to properly update the sw_flow_key attributes, since
it only called the ovs_ct_nat_update_key once, rather than each time
ovs_ct_nat_execute was called.  As these two operations are linked, the
ovs_ct_nat_execute() function should always make sure that the
sw_flow_key is updated after a successful call through NAT infrastructure.

commit d9b5ae5c1b241b91480aa30408be12fe91af834a upstream.

Ipv6 ttl, label and tos fields are modified without first
pulling/pushing the ipv6 header, which would have updated
the hw csum (if available). This might cause csum validation
when sending the packet to the stack, as can be seen in
the trace below.

Fix this by updating skb-&gt;csum if available.

[ Upstream commit 01634047bf0d5c2d9b7d8095bb4de1663dbeedeb ]

fq qdisc requires tstamp to be cleared in the forwarding path. Now ovs
doesn't clear skb-&gt;tstamp. We encountered a problem with linux
version 5.4.56 and ovs version 2.14.1, and packets failed to
dequeue from qdisc when fq qdisc was attached to ovs port.

[ Upstream commit e4df1b0c24350a0f00229ff895a91f1072bd850d ]

We have observed meters working unexpected if traffic is 3+Gbit/s
with multiple connections.

now_ms is not pretected by meter-&gt;lock, we may get a negative
long_delta_ms when another cpu updated meter-&gt;used, then:
    delta_ms = (u32)long_delta_ms;
which will be a large value.

    band-&gt;bucket += delta_ms * band-&gt;rate;
then we get a wrong band-&gt;bucket.

OpenVswitch userspace datapath has fixed the same issue[1] some
time ago, and we port the implementation to kernel datapath.
