Subject: ip_tunnel mtu calculation
Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 17:57:01 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130629175701.73c17a16@vostro> (raw)

Hi,

I'm reviewing changes since 3.9 to net-next and observed that, the
tunnel refactoring had the following change in ip_gre xmit path.

In ip_tunnel_xmit() mtu is now calculated as:
        if (df)
                mtu = dst_mtu(&rt->dst) - dev->hard_header_len
                                        - sizeof(struct iphdr);
        else
                mtu = skb_dst(skb) ? dst_mtu(skb_dst(skb)) : dev->mtu;

And it used to be in ip_gre.c: ipgre_tunnel_xmit():
        if (df)
                mtu = dst_mtu(&rt->dst) - dev->hard_header_len - tunnel->hlen;
        else
                mtu = skb_dst(skb) ? dst_mtu(skb_dst(skb)) : dev->mtu;

I notice that tunnel->hlen is replaced with sizeof(struct iphdr), but
in case of GRE those are not the same thing. And the refactored
ip_gre.c does not set hard_header_len either. So it would like the mtu
is now miscalculated (planning to give a full test-spin for net-next
next week).

It seems the tunnel->hlen used to be the full length, including
sizeof(struct iphdr).

But the new, refactored code seems exclude sizeof(struct iphdr) from
the tunnel->hlen. So would the following be appropriate?

diff --git a/net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c b/net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c
