Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/4] bpf: Initialize the l3mdev field for the fib lookup flow
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 04:04:23 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616223426.3568080-2-avinash.duduskar@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616223426.3568080-1-avinash.duduskar@gmail.com>

bpf_ipv4_fib_lookup() and bpf_ipv6_fib_lookup() build the flow key on
the stack with a bare "struct flowi4 fl4;" / "struct flowi6 fl6;" and
fill it field by field, but never set flowi4_l3mdev / flowi6_l3mdev.

On the non-DIRECT path the lookup goes through the fib rules whenever the
netns has custom rules, which a VRF installs:

	bpf_ipv4_fib_lookup() -> fib_lookup() -> __fib_lookup()
	  -> l3mdev_update_flow()   reads !fl->flowi_l3mdev
	  -> fib_rules_lookup() -> fib_rule_match()
	       -> l3mdev_fib_rule_match()   uses fl->flowi_l3mdev

l3mdev_update_flow() resolves the l3mdev master from the ingress device
only while the field is still zero:

	if (fl->flowi_iif > LOOPBACK_IFINDEX && !fl->flowi_l3mdev) {
		dev = dev_get_by_index_rcu(net, fl->flowi_iif);
		if (dev)
			fl->flowi_l3mdev = l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu(dev);
	}

Left at a nonzero stack value the resolution is skipped, and
l3mdev_fib_rule_match() then tests that value as an ifindex, so the VRF
master is not resolved and the rule fails to match: an ingress enslaved
to a VRF can fail to select its table. The same value is also read just
before that, by FIB rules matching on an L3 master device
(l3mdev_fib_rule_iif_match()/_oif_match()), so an "ip rule iif/oif <vrf>"
mismatches the same way.

The helper already initializes the other flow fields the rules path
consumes (flowi4_mark, flowi4_tun_key.tun_id, flowi4_uid and the v6
counterparts); flowi*_l3mdev was added to that set afterwards and this
helper was never updated to match. ip_route_input_slow() likewise zeroes
the field before its input lookup. Do the same here.

CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO masks this by default, but it depends on
compiler support (CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_ZERO), so INIT_STACK_NONE builds,
including older toolchains that fall back to it, are exposed. Built with
INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN, a plain bpf_fib_lookup (no VLAN, no DIRECT) over a
VRF slave whose destination is routed only in the VRF table returns
BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NOT_FWDED, and resolves with this patch; reverting these
two lines flips it back. The series' VRF selftests pass on the default
config either way, so they do not exercise this fix.

Fixes: 40867d74c374 ("net: Add l3mdev index to flow struct and avoid oif reset for port devices")
