Subject: [PATCH net 12/17] netfilter: flowtable: support IPIP tunnel with direct xmit
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 16:03:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708140309.19633-13-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708140309.19633-1-fw@strlen.de>

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

The combination of IPIP tunnel with direct xmit, eg. bridge device,
breaks because no dst_entry is provided to check the skb headroom and to
set the iph->frag_off field. This leads to invalid dst usage and can
trigger a crash in the tunnel transmit path.

Fix this by moving dst_cache and dst_cookie out of the runtime union so
that they can be shared by neighbour, xfrm, and direct tunnel flows.
For FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT tuples carrying tunnel metadata, preserve
route state in these shared fields and release it through the common
dst release path.

Since dst_entry is now available to the three supported xmit modes and
dst_release() already deals with NULL dst, remove the xmit type check
in nft_flow_dst_release(). Moreover, skip the check if the dst entry
is NULL in nf_flow_dst_check() which is now the case for the direct
xmit case.

Based on patch from Rein Wei <n05ec@lzu.edu.cn>.
