kernel >= 4.0: crashes when using traceroute6 with isatap

kernel >= 4.0: crashes when using traceroute6 with isatap

[Wolfgang Walter]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 305 bytes --]

Hello,

kernel 4.0 (and 4.0.1) crashes immediately when I use traceroute6 with an 
isatap-tunnel.

I took an image of the message I got. It is not complete as my vt has not 
enough lines.

3.19.3 works fine.

I did some further tests. To trigger the crash you need

* isatap-tunnel (probably any sit-tunnel will do it)
* raw-socket
* udp

Using icmpv6 or tcp i.e. does not trigger it.

Do you have a script to reproduce it?


Thanks for the bug report!

Indeed, that fixes the problem.

Yes, setting skb->csum to 0 is clearly wrong for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL

Would you try :

So why is this not an issue in __ip_append_data()?

You need a isatap-server with say ipv4-address $X

Then, on host with 4.0, start isatapd: isatapd --mtu 1280 $X 

then do

	traceroute6 www.google.de

Hi Walter

Could you try this patch.  Looks like raw passes transhdrlen
of 0 on the first packet and that makes IPv4 behave correctly,
but not IPv6.

And make sure the checksum is correct ;)

Vlad, can you tell where skb->cum_start and skb->csum_offset are set ?

For udp, udp6_hwcsum_outgoing(), but with the above patch, the check above will return
false, and we'll fallback to using CHECKSUM_NONE.

Before, the !skb was true since there there was no skb on the queue.  Now, that
we are checking transhdr and raw passing in 0, the check will be false.  This
is what's making IPv4 work correctly in this case.

Ok, that works as fix. No crash and checksums are ok.

[PATCH net] Revert "ipv6: Allow for partial checksums on non-ufo packets"

[Eric Dumazet]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Wolfgang Walter reported crashes using traceroute6, root caused to this
commit.

UDP packets can be sent from RAW sockets.

Note that the faulty commit addressed a non problem, as normal
UDP v6 packets use udp_v6_send_skb() which correctly setup
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL properly if device has the correct feature.

It seems not worth trying to 'fix' the raw path.

Vlad, please review this.

Thanks.

Actually, they didn't.  udp_v6_send_skb() uses ip_summed from
the skb, which is populated by __ip6_append_data.  That in turn
always set it CHECKSUM_NONE.

The code in question looks identically to that of __ip_append_data().
The problem is similar in both places.

Well, one is crashing the host. IPv4 raw must have been OK, not IPv6.

As I explained in the changelog, you can try to fix
rawv6_push_pending_frames()

My opinion is that a reasonable strategy is to revert for stable
kernels.

Then if you can fix rawv6_push_pending_frames() for net-next, I will be
happy to review your patch.

Hello,

kernel 4.0 (and 4.0.1) crashes immediately when I use traceroute6 with an
isatap-tunnel.

I took an image of the message I got. It is not complete as my vt has not
enough lines.

3.19.3 works fine.
