Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] net: Make PSP skb extension survive packet scrubbing
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 04:31:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030043145.2185700-2-weiwan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030043145.2185700-1-weiwan@google.com>

skb_scrub_packet() drops all skb extensions unconditionally via
skb_ext_reset(). It runs on tunnel encap/decap (ip_tunnel_rcv, vxlan_rcv,
etc.) and virtual device forwarding/redirection (dev_forward_skb,
netkit_xmit, skb_do_redirect).

When a virtual device such as netkit is associated with a PSP device in
another network namespace via PSP_CMD_DEV_ASSOC, incoming PSP packets
decapsulated by psp_dev_rcv() lose their SKB_EXT_PSP extension when
scrubbed during redirection into the peer netns. Without SKB_EXT_PSP,
__psp_sk_rx_policy_check() rejects incoming TCP data segments at the
socket layer with SKB_DROP_REASON_PSP_INPUT.

Introduce a static skb_ext_scrub() helper in net/core/skbuff.c to
preserve SKB_EXT_PSP across skb_scrub_packet() while dropping all other
extensions. If SKB_EXT_PSP is not active, skb_ext_scrub() simply calls
skb_ext_reset(). If SKB_EXT_PSP is the only extension in the skb_ext
buffer, nothing needs to be scrubbed. Otherwise, save the PSP metadata,
reset the extension block, and re-add a fresh SKB_EXT_PSP extension (or
clear skb->decrypted if the allocation fails).

Fixes: 06c2dce2d0f6 ("psp: add new netlink cmd for dev-assoc and dev-disassoc")
