Subject: [PATCH net,v2] ipv4: use new_gw for redirect neigh lookup
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 11:16:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478794575-28748-1-git-send-email-ssurya@ieee.org> (raw)
In v2.6, ip_rt_redirect() calls arp_bind_neighbour() which returns 0
and then the state of the neigh for the new_gw is checked. If the state
isn't valid then the redirected route is deleted. This behavior is
maintained up to v3.5.7 by check_peer_redirect() because rt->rt_gateway
is assigned to peer->redirect_learned.a4 before calling
ipv4_neigh_lookup().
After commit 5943634fc559 ("ipv4: Maintain redirect and PMTU info in
struct rtable again."), ipv4_neigh_lookup() is performed without the
rt_gateway assigned to the new_gw. In the case when rt_gateway (old_gw)
isn't zero, the function uses it as the key. The neigh is most likely
valid since the old_gw is the one that sends the ICMP redirect message.
Then the new_gw is assigned to fib_nh_exception. The problem is: the
new_gw ARP may never gets resolved and the traffic is blackholed.
So, use the new_gw for neigh lookup.
Changes from v1:
- use __ipv4_neigh_lookup instead (per Eric Dumazet).
Fixes: 5943634fc559 ("ipv4: Maintain redirect and PMTU info in struct rtable again.")
