Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xfrm: Fix inner mode lookup in tunnel mode GSO segmentation
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 13:18:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260114121817.1106134-2-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260114121817.1106134-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>

From: Jianbo Liu <jianbol@nvidia.com>

Commit 61fafbee6cfe ("xfrm: Determine inner GSO type from packet inner
protocol") attempted to fix GSO segmentation by reading the inner
protocol from XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol. This was incorrect
because the field holds the inner L4 protocol (TCP/UDP) instead of the
required tunnel protocol. Also, the memory location (shared by
XFRM_SKB_CB(skb) which could be overwritten by xfrm_replay_overflow())
is prone to corruption. This combination caused the kernel to select
the wrong inner mode and get the wrong address family.

The correct value is in xfrm_offload(skb)->proto, which is set from
the outer tunnel header's protocol field by esp[4|6]_gso_encap(). It
is initialized by xfrm[4|6]_tunnel_encap_add() to either IPPROTO_IPIP
or IPPROTO_IPV6, using xfrm_af2proto() and correctly reflects the
inner packet's address family.
