Subject: [PATCH net-next] packet: Account for VLAN_HLEN in csum_start when virtio_net_hdr is enabled

Af_packet provides checksum offload offsets to usermode applications
through struct virtio_net_hdr when PACKET_VNET_HDR is enabled on the
socket. For skbuffs with a vlan being sent to a SOCK_RAW socket,
af_packet will include the link level header and so csum_start needs
to be adjusted accordingly.

Fixes: fd3a88625844 ("net: in virtio_net_hdr only add VLAN_HLEN to csum_start if payload holds vlan")

Is this patch based on observing an incorrect offset in a workload,
or on code inspection?

As the referenced patch mentions, VLAN_HLEN adjustment is needed
in macvtap because it pulls the vlan header from skb->vlan_tci. At
which point skb->csum_start is wrong.

"Commit f09e2249c4f5 ("macvtap: restore vlan header on user read")
added this feature to macvtap. Commit 3ce9b20f1971 ("macvtap: Fix
csum_start when VLAN tags are present") then fixed up csum_start."

But the commit also mentions "Virtio, packet and uml do not insert
the vlan header in the user buffer.". This situation has not changed.

Packet sockets may receive packets with VLAN headers present, but
unless they were inserted manually before passing to user, as macvtap
does, this does not affect csum_start.

Packet sockets support reading those skb->vlan_tci stored VLAN
headers using AUXDATA.

> Fixes: fd3a88625844 ("net: in virtio_net_hdr only add VLAN_HLEN to csum_start if payload holds vlan")

The fix should target net, not net-next.

Based on an incorrect offset in a workload. The setup involved sending
vxlan traffic though a veth interface configured with a vlan. The
vnet_hdr's csum_start value was off by 4, and this problem went away
when the vlan was removed.

I'll take another look at this patch.

This is a vlan device on top of a veth device? On which device and at
which point (ingress or egress) are you receiving the packet over the
packet socket?

From a quick glance, in all cases that I see the VLAN tag is kept in
skb->vlan_tci, so is never part of the packet payload.

But checksum offload with VXLAN can be non-trivial on its own. If
type & SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM | SKB_GSO_TUNNEL_REMCSUM, say. Then
csum_start will point to the checksum in vxlanhdr.

This last statement is incorrect. But SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM might
be relevant to unexpected csum_start.

Just for maximum clarity I'll include the extracted commands below,
but roughly there is a vlan device on top of a vxlan device on top of
a vlan device on top of a veth, in a namespace.

ip netns add at_ns0
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link add dev at_vxlan1 type vxlan remote
172.31.1.100 id 0 dstport 4789
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip addr add dev at_vxlan1 10.2.1.1/24
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link set dev at_vxlan1 mtu 1450 up
ip link add p0 type veth peer name ovs-p0
ethtool -K p0 sg on
ethtool -K p0 tso on
ip link set p0 netns at_ns0
ip link set dev ovs-p0 up
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip addr add "172.31.2.1/24" dev p0
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link set dev p0 up
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link add link at_vxlan1 name at_vxlan1.100
type vlan proto 802.1q id 100
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link set dev at_vxlan1.100 up
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip addr add dev at_vxlan1.100 "10.1.1.1/24"
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link add link p0 name p0.42 type vlan proto 802.1q id 42
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip link set dev p0.42 up
ip netns exec at_ns0 ip addr add dev p0.42 "172.31.1.1/24"
ip addr add "172.31.1.100/24" dev p0
ip link set dev p0 up
ip netns exec at_ns0 ping 10.1.1.100

An AF_PACKET socket on ovs-p0 receives the incorrect csum_start.
Setting up the same with a geneve tunnel and udpcsum enabled produces
the same result. Removing vlan 100 also yields an incorrect
csum_start. Removing only vlan 42 yields a correct csum_start.

Are these two lines intended to be ovs-p0 rather than p0?
As p0 lives inside the netns (and already has an address)

I wonder if a simple checksum offloaded UDP packet sent over a vlan
directly on top of veth, like .100 has a correct offset before your
patch, but incorrect offset after.

The issue you are encountering might be that vxlan does not support
vlan offload, so validate_xmit_vlan will pull the vlan into the
header with __vlan_hwaccel_push_inside, but this does not adjust
csum_start. Not sure, but perhaps you can instrument your kernel
and see where the offset goes wrong. It is not inside the pf_packet
socket, in any case.
