Since commit 3271f19bf7b9 ("net: gso: restore ids of outer ip headers correctly") the flag describes the outermost header and SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_INNER the inner one, so every path that adds or removes a header would have to move the flags. None does, and a TCP stream that GRO merged and that crosses a tunnel boundary is segmented with the fixed-ID state of the wrong header. Patch 1 lets SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID describe the innermost header again and replaces the inner flag with SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER, as Alexei suggested in review of v1. Patch 2 adds a selftest. Tested in QEMU (KVM, KASAN and lockdep) with the selftest, 18 cases, 400 segments each: - net (30c71476d842), 2 of 2 runs: 6 cases fail. Fixed inner IDs increment after IPIP over IPv4 and IPv6 and after the ESP tunnel (390 of 400 segments carry an inner ID the sender did not use), the outer IDs repeat after GRE and VXLAN over IPv4 (10 distinct outer IDs for 400 segments), and a VXLAN stream with fixed outer IDs keeps that state after decapsulation into IPIP (10 distinct outer IDs). - this series, 2 of 2 runs: 18 of 18 pass, no KASAN or lockdep report. With a tunnel inside a tunnel, such as GRE traffic that GRO merged and that is routed into an IPIP tunnel without decapsulation, two flags still describe three IPv4 headers: the new outermost header takes SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER of the header below it, as it takes SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID on net. This series does not change that case; it gets a separate fix. Changes in v2: - Keep SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID on the innermost header and describe the outer header with SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER instead of moving the flag on encapsulation and decapsulation (Alexei). Encapsulation then needs no change, which also covers ESP tunnel mode with crypto offload, missed in v1 (Alexei, Sashiko), the Geneve GRO hint path, which sets skb->encapsulation again after iptunnel_pull_offloads() (Sashiko), and BPF encapsulation followed by an L3-only decapsulation (Sashiko). FOU, which pulls the offloads twice, clears the outer flag twice. - Keep the encap_level reset in gre_gso_segment() and __skb_udp_tunnel_segment(): v1 undid commit 5197f3499c47 ("net: Reset encap_level to avoid resetting features on inner IP headers"), which with remote checksum offload masks NETIF_F_HW_CSUM out of the inner features on devices without it in hw_enc_features (Alexei, Sashiko). - Drop the segment routing changes: the outer header there is IPv6 (Alexei). This also drops the read of hdr->nexthdr after iptunnel_pull_offloads() in ipv6_srh_rcv() that Sashiko reported as a use-after-free; ipv6_srh_rcv() is unchanged. - Convert mlx5 and sfc to the outer flag (Alexei). - Selftest: add an ESP tunnel mode case offloaded to netdevsim; check the inner ID values, not only how many distinct IDs arrive; skip the decap cases when the IPIP device cannot be created; fail a case whose receiver reports no result; keep IPv6 link-local traffic off the tunnels, whose tx_packets decide the GRO skip; remove the temporary file on exit; sort the Makefile entry; wrap lines at 80 columns (Sashiko, NIPA). - v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1792857378.git.julius@bairaktaris.de/ I used Claude (Anthropic) to help write these patches.
