Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 04/10] ip_tunnel: add __iptunnel_pull_header_reason()
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 01:15:01 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922221507.3268127-5-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922221507.3268127-1-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>
__iptunnel_pull_header() returns -ENOMEM whenever it fails. It can
fail in two pskb_may_pull() calls, one for the tunnel header and one
for the inner Ethernet header of ETH_P_TEB, and in the skb_unclone()
done for GSO packets. pskb_may_pull() fails when the packet is shorter
than the requested length as well as when pulling from the frags cannot
allocate, so a truncated packet and an allocation failure look the same
to the callers. The ones that report a drop reason can only pick
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM, as vxlan_rcv() does, and so would the GRE
receive paths converted by the following patches. In ip6_gre,
gre_rcv() calls the helper before the tunnel lookup, so a packet from
any sender whose ETH_P_TEB inner Ethernet header or WCCPv2 extra word
is cut short would be reported as an out of memory condition.
Add __iptunnel_pull_header_reason(), which returns the reason
pskb_may_pull_reason() already computes, SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM when
skb_unclone() fails, and SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET on success. Turn
__iptunnel_pull_header() into a static inline wrapper that keeps
returning -ENOMEM on any failure, so its existing callers are left
unchanged; the export moves to the new function.
