linux-kernel
The current XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE interface is tightly coupled to policy and
SA migration, and it lacks the information required to reliably migrate
individual SAs. This makes it unsuitable for IKEv2 deployments,
dual-stack setups (IPv4/IPv6), and scenarios where policies are managed
externally (e.g., by other daemons than IKE daemon).
Mandatory SA selector list
The current API requires a non-empty SA selector list, which does not
reflect IKEv2 use case.
A single Child SA may correspond to multiple policies,
and SA discovery already occurs via address and reqid matching. With
dual-stack Child SAs this leads to excessive churn: the current method
would have to be called up to six times (in/out/fwd × v4/v6) on SA,
while the new method only requires two calls. While polices are
migrated, first installing a block policy
Selectors lack SPI (and marks)
XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE cannot uniquely identify an SA when multiple SAs share
the same policies (per-CPU SAs, SELinux label-based SAs, etc.). Without
the SPI, the kernel may update the wrong SA instance.
Reqid cannot be changed
Some implementations allocate reqids based on traffic selectors. In
host-to-host or selector-changing scenarios, the reqid must change,
which the current API cannot express.
Because strongSwan and other implementations manage policies
independently of the kernel, an interface that updates only a specific
SA — with complete and unambiguous identification — is required.
XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE provides that interface. It supports migration
of a single SA via xfrm_usersa_id (including SPI) and we fix
encap removal in this patch set, reqid updates, address changes,
and other SA-specific parameters. It avoids the structural limitations
of
XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE and provides a simpler, extensible mechanism for
precise per-SA migration without involving policies.
Antony Antony (6):
xfrm: remove redundent assignment
xfrm: allow migration from UDP encapsulated to non-encapsulated ESP
xfrm: rename reqid in xfrm_migrate
xfrm: add XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE for single SA migration
xfrm: reqid is invarient in old migration
xfrm: check that SA is in VALID state before use

The current code prevents migrating an SA from UDP encapsulation to
plain ESP. This is needed when moving from a NATed path to a non-NATed
one, for example when switching from IPv4+NAT to IPv6.
Only copy the existing encapsulation during migration if the encap
attribute is explicitly provided.

Add a new netlink method to migrate a single xfrm_state.
Unlike the existing migration mechanism (SA + policy), this
supports migrating only the SA and allows changing the reqid.

During migration, an SA may be deleted or become invalid while skb(s)
still hold a reference to it. Using such an SA in the output path may
result in IV reuse with AES-GCM.
Reject use of states that are not in XFRM_STATE_VALID.
This applies to both output and input data paths.
The check is performed in xfrm_state_check_expire(), which is called
from xfrm_output_one().

Hi Antony,
Not strictly related to this patch, but FWIIW, it seems that m could be
const in this call stack. And, moreover, I think there would be some value
in constifying parameters throughout xfrm.

Claude Code with Review Prompts [1] flags that until the next
patch of this series m->new_reqid is used uninitialised in the following
call stack:
xfrm_do_migrate -> xfrm_migrate -> xfrm_state_migrate -> xfrm_state_clone_and_setup
Also, while I could have missed something, it seems to me that it is
also uninitialised in this call stack:
pfkey_migrate -> xfrm_migrate -> xfrm_state_migrate -> xfrm_state_clone_and_setup

Please don't use the inline keyword in .c files unless there is a
demonstrable - usually performance - reason to do so.
Rather, please let the compiler inline (or not) code as it sees fit.

xfrm_get_ae() is the previous caller of nlmsg_new() in this file.
It calls BUG_ON() on error, so leaking is not an issue there.
The caller before that is xfrm_get_default() which calls kfree_skb() in
it's error path. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I was thinking
that approach is appropriate here too.

You’re right. There is a leak in the error path.
The new helper I added is similar to build_migrate(), but that code uses
BUG_ON() on the error path. That feels too extreme here (even though there
are other instances of it in the same file).
I’ll follow the pattern in xfrm_get_default(): handle the error by freeing
the skb (kfree_skb()) and returning an error. And no WARN_ON().
I’ll send v3 shortly.

FWIIW, the use of BUG_ON in xfrm_get_ae() did give me pause for thought.
