gso: do not skip outer ip header in case of ipip and net_failover
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit cc20cce upstream.

We encounter a tcp drop issue in our cloud environment. Packet GROed in
host forwards to a VM virtio_net nic with net_failover enabled. VM acts
as a IPVS LB with ipip encapsulation. The full path like:
host gro -> vm virtio_net rx -> net_failover rx -> ipvs fullnat
 -> ipip encap -> net_failover tx -> virtio_net tx

When net_failover transmits a ipip pkt (gso_type = 0x0103, which means
SKB_GSO_TCPV4, SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_IPXIP4), there is no gso
did because it supports TSO and GSO_IPXIP4. But network_header points to
inner ip header.

Call Trace:
 tcp4_gso_segment        ------> return NULL
 inet_gso_segment        ------> inner iph, network_header points to
 ipip_gso_segment
 inet_gso_segment        ------> outer iph
 skb_mac_gso_segment

Afterwards virtio_net transmits the pkt, only inner ip header is modified.
And the outer one just keeps unchanged. The pkt will be dropped in remote
host.

 inet_gso_segment        ------> inner iph, outer iph is skipped

The root cause of this issue is specific with the rare combination of
SKB_GSO_DODGY and a tunnel device that adds an SKB_GSO_ tunnel option.
SKB_GSO_DODGY is set from external virtio_net. We need to reset network
header when callbacks.gso_segment() returns NULL.

This patch also includes ipv6_gso_segment(), considering SIT, etc.
