Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 07/14] ip_gre: add drop reasons to the RX path
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:39:03 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930183910.3151873-8-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930183910.3151873-1-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>
A packet that reaches gre_rcv() and does not belong to any tunnel is
dropped, after an ICMP port unreachable is sent back, as
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED from the same kfree_skb_reason() call as
a truncated ERSPAN header or a failed metadata allocation. This is the
GRE counterpart of a UDP packet hitting no socket, yet neither the
reason nor the call site tells it apart. The fallback devices such as
gre0 only take such a packet while they are up, and they are created
down.
Report SKB_DROP_REASON_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND for it, which vxlan reports when
no device matches the VNI, and add GRE to its description.
erspan_rcv(), __ipgre_rcv() and ipgre_rcv() now return
SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET where they returned PACKET_RCVD, including the paths
that free the packet themselves, and a drop reason where they returned
PACKET_REJECT or PACKET_NEXT. __ipgre_rcv() only returned PACKET_NEXT
when no tunnel matched, so the retry ipgre_rcv() does for ETH_P_TEB is
now taken on SKB_DROP_REASON_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND.
The length checks use pskb_may_pull_reason(), and the headers are
pulled with __iptunnel_pull_header(), which returns a drop reason since
an earlier patch of this series. Both report a packet too short to pull
as SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_SMALL and an allocation failure as
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM. The metadata allocation failures reuse
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM as well.
erspan_rcv() and __ipgre_rcv() follow the same rule for the reason as
gre_rcv(): it is initialized to SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED, and their
drop labels fall back to it, as the pull helpers store their result in
the reason.
