Subject: [PATCH net] fou: ensure GUE headers have enough headroom
Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 14:01:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260801060115.3538849-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
ipgre_changelink() installs GUE encapsulation before it publishes the
new GRE header length and updates dev->needed_headroom. The transmit
path does not serialize with RTNL, so it can interleave as follows:
CPU 0 (ipgre_changelink) CPU 1 (ipgre_xmit)
install GUE encapsulation
reserve the old needed_headroom
publish larger GRE flags
update tunnel->tun_hlen
push the larger GRE header
push the GUE and UDP headers
update dev->needed_headroom
With REMCSUM, the new layout can push 16 bytes of GRE and 20 bytes of
GUE/UDP headers into an skb with only 32 bytes of actual headroom. The
final UDP push writes four bytes before skb->head.
With the update window widened, the kernel reported:
skbuff: skb_under_panic: ... len:128 put:8 ... dev:gre0poc
kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:214!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
Call Trace:
skb_push
fou_build_udp
gue_build_header
ip_tunnel_xmit
__gre_xmit
ipgre_xmit
Make __gue_build_header() ensure space for both the GUE header it is
about to push and the UDP header that follows. On normally sized skbs
the check is a no-op. If configuration changes race with transmission,
skb_cow_head() expands the head before either GUE write, or returns an
error without modifying the packet.
