Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/6] net/sched: act_mpls: pull the inner Ethernet header after POP
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 10:28:37 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ACT-N6N4.v3.r0.20261023200137-2@mojatatu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ACT-N6N4.v3.r0.20261023200137-1@mojatatu.com>

The issue:
When the configured inner protocol is ETH_P_TEB, act_mpls POP can leave
the inner Ethernet header in a page fragment after skb_mpls_pop(), either
on an L3 device (mac_len == 0) or chained after act_vlan POP_ETH.  A
following eth_type_trans() can then BUG in __skb_pull().

The Fix:
After the pop, pull the inner Ethernet header into the linear area only
when p->tcfm_proto is ETH_P_TEB; drop the packet only when that pull
fails.  Other inner protocols (IP, MPLS, ...) have no inner Ethernet
header and must not be required to carry one.  The pull is a no-op when
the header is already linear.

Conditions to recreate the bug:
- egress tc filter on lo: action vlan pop_eth action mpls pop protocol teb
  (chained), or on an L3 device where mac_len == 0.
- AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW with PACKET_VNET_HDR, hdr_len=28, and a non-linear
  eth / mpls / inner-eth frame.
- The inner header is in page frags; a following eth_type_trans() can BUG
  in __skb_pull().

Fixes: 2a2ea50870ba ("net: sched: add mpls manipulation actions to TC")

v2 -> v3:
  - drop the pre-pop mac_len gate.  The pull is a no-op when the header
    is already linear, so the gate only avoided a cheap call (Willem de
    Bruijn).
  - restrict the pull to ETH_P_TEB.  act_mpls POP can target IP, MPLS,
    etc.; those inner protocols have no Ethernet header and must not be
    required to carry one (Willem de Bruijn).
