MPLS: Add limited GSO support In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.

net: mpls: Fixups for GSO As reported by Lennert the MPLS GSO code is failing to properly segment large packets. There are a couple of problems: 1. the inner protocol is not set so the gso segment functions for inner protocol layers are not getting run, and 2 MPLS labels for packets that use the "native" (non-OVS) MPLS code are not properly accounted for in mpls_gso_segment. The MPLS GSO code was added for OVS. It is re-using skb_mac_gso_segment to call the gso segment functions for the higher layer protocols. That means skb_mac_gso_segment is called twice -- once with the network protocol set to MPLS and again with the network protocol set to the inner protocol. This patch sets the inner skb protocol addressing item 1 above and sets the network_header and inner_network_header to mark where the MPLS labels start and end. The MPLS code in OVS is also updated to set the two network markers. >From there the MPLS GSO code uses the difference between the network header and the inner network header to know the size of the MPLS header that was pushed. It then pulls the MPLS header, resets the mac_len and protocol for the inner protocol and then calls skb_mac_gso_segment to segment the skb. Afterward the inner protocol segmentation is done the skb protocol is set to mpls for each segment and the network and mac headers restored.

Eric Dumazet said: > I was thinking about adding a debug check in skb_inner_network_header() > if inner_network_header is zero (that would mean it is not 'set' yet), > but this would trigger even after your patch. So add new skb_inner_network_header_was_set() helper and use that. The syzbot reproducer injects data via packet socket. The skb that gets allocated and passed down the stack has ->protocol set to NSH (0x894f) and gso_type set to SKB_GSO_UDP | SKB_GSO_DODGY. This gets passed to skb_mac_gso_segment(), which sees NSH as ptype to find a callback for. nsh_gso_segment() retrieves next type: proto = tun_p_to_eth_p(nsh_hdr(skb)->np); ... which is MPLS (TUN_P_MPLS_UC). It updates skb->protocol and then calls mpls_gso_segment(). Inner offsets are all 0, so mpls_gso_segment() ends up with a negative header size. In case more callers rely on silent handling of such large may_pull values we could also 'legalize' this behaviour, either replacing the debug check with (len > INT_MAX) test or removing it and instead adding a comment before existing if (unlikely(len > skb->len)) return SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_SMALL; test in pskb_may_pull_reason(), saying that this check also implicitly takes care of callers that miscompute header sizes.

MPLS: Add limited GSO support In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().

net: mpls: Fixups for GSO As reported by Lennert the MPLS GSO code is failing to properly segment large packets. There are a couple of problems: 1. the inner protocol is not set so the gso segment functions for inner protocol layers are not getting run, and 2 MPLS labels for packets that use the "native" (non-OVS) MPLS code are not properly accounted for in mpls_gso_segment. The MPLS GSO code was added for OVS. It is re-using skb_mac_gso_segment to call the gso segment functions for the higher layer protocols. That means skb_mac_gso_segment is called twice -- once with the network protocol set to MPLS and again with the network protocol set to the inner protocol. This patch sets the inner skb protocol addressing item 1 above and sets the network_header and inner_network_header to mark where the MPLS labels start and end. The MPLS code in OVS is also updated to set the two network markers. >From there the MPLS GSO code uses the difference between the network header and the inner network header to know the size of the MPLS header that was pushed. It then pulls the MPLS header, resets the mac_len and protocol for the inner protocol and then calls skb_mac_gso_segment to segment the skb. Afterward the inner protocol segmentation is done the skb protocol is set to mpls for each segment and the network and mac headers restored.

MPLS: Add limited GSO support In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module.
