Subject: [PATCH net 15/17] ipvs: use parsed transport offset in TCP state lookup
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 16:03:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708140309.19633-16-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708140309.19633-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: Yizhou Zhao <zhaoyz24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn>
TCP state handling reparses the skb to find the TCP header. For IPv6 it
uses sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code already
parsed the packet with ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() and has the real
transport-header offset in iph.len.
This makes TCP state handling look at the wrong bytes when an IPv6
packet carries extension headers. Use the parsed transport offset passed
down from ip_vs_set_state() when reading the TCP header.
For IPv4 and for IPv6 packets without extension headers, the passed
offset matches the previous value.
Fixes: 0bbdd42b7efa6 ("IPVS: Extend protocol DNAT/SNAT and state handlers")
