Commit 7a0207094f1b ("xfrm: policy: replace session decode with flow
dissector") replaced XFRM session decoding with the flow dissector.
While the old IPv6 decoder kept walking past an IPv6 Fragment
extension header, the flow dissector stops unless the caller sets
FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_PARSE_1ST_FRAG. For an atomic fragment followed by
extension headers, inbound policy lookup can therefore see the header
after Fragment instead of the actual upper-layer protocol and miss
protocol selectors.
Make the dissector continue through first IPv6 fragments. Keep the
port, ICMPv6 and GRE selector fields zero for all fragments, as the
old decoder did. This also keeps the result the same when a BPF flow
dissector fills ports for a first fragment.

Commit 7e3a42a12c4b ("xfrm6: handling fragment") stopped decoding IPv6
selector fields after a Fragment header. That is correct for real
fragments because later fragments do not carry those fields, yet an
atomic fragment is different because it contains the complete
datagram, which allows XFRM to read its ports, ICMPv6 type and code,
and GRE key. Leaving those fields zero lets a plaintext atomic
fragment miss a policy that matches on one of them.
Leave ports, ICMPv6 type and code, and GRE key unset for real
fragments. For atomic fragments, treat the packet as a complete
datagram during IPv6 session decoding and recover the ports at the
transport offset found by the flow dissector.
Have ipv6_find_hdr() report non-atomic Fragment headers while it walks
the extension header chain. Pull the base IPv6 header before calling
it so nonlinear skbs are safe, and recover selectors only when every
Fragment header it sees is atomic.

Hi!
This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:
- How the issue was discovered, e.g. hit in production, hit during
development, syzbot report, manual code inspection, LLM or static
analysis tool scan.
- Whether the issue was actually triggered, or is only theoretical
(e.g. found by code inspection). If it was triggered please include
the symptoms, like the stack trace or error messages.
Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.
The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
