Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net: Make PSP skb extension survive packet scrubbing
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 04:05:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261025040523.678027-2-weiwan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261025040523.678027-1-weiwan@google.com>
skb_scrub_packet() drops all skb extensions unconditionally via
skb_ext_reset(). It runs on tunnel encap/decap (ip_tunnel_rcv, vxlan_rcv,
etc.) and cross-netns forwarding (dev_forward_skb, netkit_prep_forward,
skb_do_redirect).
When a virtual device such as netkit is associated with a PSP device in
another network namespace via PSP_CMD_DEV_ASSOC, incoming PSP packets
decapsulated by psp_dev_rcv() lose their SKB_EXT_PSP extension when
scrubbed during redirection into the peer netns. Without SKB_EXT_PSP,
__psp_sk_rx_policy_check() rejects incoming TCP data segments at the
socket layer with SKB_DROP_REASON_PSP_INPUT.
Introduce skb_ext_scrub(), a selective variant of skb_ext_reset() that
deletes every extension except SKB_EXT_PSP, and use it in
skb_scrub_packet(). Scrubbing is safe when the extension slab is shared
with clones: deleting an extension only clears the per-skb
active_extensions bit, and the shared slab payload is released lazily by
__skb_ext_put() once the last reference goes away.
Fixes: 06c2dce2d0f6 ("psp: add new netlink cmd for dev-assoc and dev-disassoc")
