Subject: [PATCH net] macvlan: filter out xfrm feature flags
Date: Tue,  6 Mar 2018 14:57:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1520377028-14818-1-git-send-email-shannon.nelson@oracle.com> (raw)

Adding a macvlan device on top of a lowerdev that supports
the xfrm offloads fails.
    # ip link add link ens1f0 mv0 type macvlan
    RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

Tracing down the failure shows that the macvlan device inherits
the NETIF_F_HW_ESP and NETIF_F_HW_ESP_TX_CSUM feature flags from
the lowerdev, but doesn't actually support xfrm so doesn't have
the dev->xfrmdev_ops API filled in.  When the request is made
to add the new macvlan device, the various feature flags are
checked by the feature subsystems, and the xfrm_api_check()
fails the check since the dev->xfrmdev_ops are not set up.
The macvlan creation succeeds when we filter out those flags
in macvlan_fix_features().

This isn't broken for vlans because they use a separate features
connection (vlan_features) for inheriting features.  This is
fine, but I don't think trying to add something like this to
every driver for every new upperdev is a good idea - I think
the upperdev should try to protect itself.

Fixes: d77e38e612a0 ("xfrm: Add an IPsec hardware offloading API")
