Subject: [PATCH net v2 4/5] ip_gre: recompute erspan header lengths after a change
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 10:01:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916100155.1398403-5-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916100155.1398403-1-edumazet@google.com>
erspan_tunnel_init() is the only place computing tunnel->tun_hlen and
tunnel->hlen, but erspan_changelink() can change both: tunnel->erspan_ver
selects a 4 or 8 byte GRE header and feeds erspan_hdr_len(), while
ip_tunnel_encap_setup() recomputes tunnel->hlen without the ERSPAN part.
dev->needed_headroom is not refreshed either, since ip_tunnel_update()
only rebinds when the link or the fwmark changes.
erspan_xmit() then pushes an ERSPAN header sized from the new
tunnel->erspan_ver, while __gre_xmit() lays the GRE header out from the
stale tunnel->tun_hlen. After a version 0 -> 2 change, tun_hlen is still
4 and gre_build_header() writes the sequence number at
greh + tun_hlen - 4, that is over greh->flags and greh->protocol. The
MTU keeps the value derived from the old header length.
There is no memory safety issue: dev->needed_headroom is at least
tunnel->hlen + sizeof(struct iphdr), and erspan_xmit() pushes at most
12 + 8 bytes before ip_tunnel_xmit() takes over and cows again.
Move the computation into erspan_set_hlen() and add
erspan_link_update(), refreshing the lengths as the previous patch does
for plain GRE. Call erspan_set_hlen() before ip_tunnel_changelink() so
that ip_tunnel_update() sees the updated tunnel->hlen and erspan_xmit()
sees a matching tun_hlen, and run erspan_link_update() at the end of
erspan_changelink(), including on error paths, as ipgre_changelink()
does.
