Subject: [PATCH net] net: skbuff: Fix incorrect skb->mac_len adjustment in skb_vlan_push()
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 20:31:45 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474997505-5059-1-git-send-email-shmulik.ladkani@gmail.com> (raw)
In case 'skb_vlan_push' is called on an skb with a hw-accel vlan tag
already present, the existing hw-accel tag is inserted into payload, and
the new given tag is placed as new hw-accel tag.
After the insertion:
- 'mac_header' is adjusted to point to the new start of the vlan_ethhdr
- 'data' is adjusted to point to the vlan_hdr portion
(since packet's payload is the inner 802.1q)
However, 'mac_len' is incorrectly incremented with additional VLAN_HLEN
bytes, resulting in a total value of 18 bytes.
Meaning, when issuing 'skb_push(skb, skb->mac_len)' the data points
to random content, 4 bytes PRIOR the ethhdr location.
This is problematic, as many constructs in the stack are issuing
'skb_push(skb, skb->mac_len)' prior xmit to a device (e.g tcf_mirred,
tcf_bpf, nf_dup_netdev_egress), resulting in bogus frames being
xmitted (having random 4 bytes at start of frame).
For example:
# ip l add dev d0 type dummy
# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: pref 1 basic \
action vlan push protocol 802.1ad id 5 pipe \
action mirred egress redirect dev d0
Any 802.1q (hw-accel) tagged frames arriving on eth0 are xmitted as
bogus frames on d0; whereas the expected behavior is having QinQ frames.
Fix, removing the unnecessary VLAN_HLEN adjustment of mac_len.
Fixes: 93515d53b1 ("net: move vlan pop/push functions into common code")

- David, if patch ok, suggest this goes to -stable
- Pravin, original push_vlan() code in openvswitch/actions.c prior Jiri
has moved it into skbuff.c had the following comment:
/* Update mac_len for subsequent MPLS actions */
skb->mac_len += VLAN_HLEN;
Can you please acknowlegde OvS code is also ok with suggested change?
