GRO sets SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID for a TCP packet whose IPv4 IDs do not
change. Since commit 3271f19bf7b9 ("net: gso: restore ids of outer ip
headers correctly") the flag describes the outermost header and
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_INNER the inner one, so every path that adds or
removes a header would have to move the flags. None does, and a TCP
stream that GRO merged and that crosses a tunnel boundary is segmented
with the fixed-ID state of the wrong header.
Patch 1 lets SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID describe the innermost header again and
replaces the inner flag with SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER, as Alexei
suggested in review of v1. Patch 2 adds a selftest.
Tested in QEMU (KVM, KASAN and lockdep) with the selftest, 18 cases,
400 segments each:
- net (30c71476d842), 2 of 2 runs: 6 cases fail. Fixed inner IDs
increment after IPIP over IPv4 and IPv6 and after the ESP tunnel (390
of 400 segments carry an inner ID the sender did not use), the outer
IDs repeat after GRE and VXLAN over IPv4 (10 distinct outer IDs for 400
segments), and a VXLAN stream with fixed outer IDs keeps that state
after decapsulation into IPIP (10 distinct outer IDs).
- this series, 2 of 2 runs: 18 of 18 pass, no KASAN or lockdep report.
With a tunnel inside a tunnel, such as GRE traffic that GRO merged and
that is routed into an IPIP tunnel without decapsulation, two flags still
describe three IPv4 headers: the new outermost header takes
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER of the header below it, as it takes
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID on net. This series does not change that case; it
gets a separate fix.
Changes in v2:
- Keep SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID on the innermost header and describe the
outer header with SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER instead of moving the
flag on encapsulation and decapsulation (Alexei). Encapsulation then
needs no change, which also covers ESP tunnel mode with crypto
offload, missed in v1 (Alexei, Sashiko), the Geneve GRO hint path,
which sets skb->encapsulation again after iptunnel_pull_offloads()
(Sashiko), and BPF encapsulation followed by an L3-only decapsulation
(Sashiko). FOU, which pulls the offloads twice, clears the outer flag
twice.
- Keep the encap_level reset in gre_gso_segment() and
__skb_udp_tunnel_segment(): v1 undid commit 5197f3499c47 ("net: Reset
encap_level to avoid resetting features on inner IP headers"), which
with remote checksum offload masks NETIF_F_HW_CSUM out of the inner
features on devices without it in hw_enc_features (Alexei, Sashiko).
- Drop the segment routing changes: the outer header there is IPv6
(Alexei). This also drops the read of hdr->nexthdr after
iptunnel_pull_offloads() in ipv6_srh_rcv() that Sashiko reported as a
use-after-free; ipv6_srh_rcv() is unchanged.
- Convert mlx5 and sfc to the outer flag (Alexei).
- Selftest: add an ESP tunnel mode case offloaded to netdevsim; check
the inner ID values, not only how many distinct IDs arrive; skip the
decap cases when the IPIP device cannot be created; fail a case whose
receiver reports no result; keep IPv6 link-local traffic off the
tunnels, whose tx_packets decide the GRO skip; remove the temporary
file on exit; sort the Makefile entry; wrap lines at 80 columns
(Sashiko, NIPA).
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1792857378.git.julius@bairaktaris.de/
I used Claude (Anthropic) to help write these patches.

Commit 3271f19bf7b9 ("net: gso: restore ids of outer ip headers
correctly") made SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID describe the outermost IPv4 header
and added SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_INNER for the inner header of an
encapsulated packet. Every path that adds or removes a header then has to
move the flags, and none does. A TCP stream that GRO merged with fixed
IDs and that is forwarded into an IPIP tunnel, or into an ESP tunnel mode
SA with crypto offload, is segmented with one outer ID for all segments
and with incrementing inner IDs. Decapsulation leaves the state of the
removed outer header on the new outer one, and the inner header of a GRE
or UDP tunnel, which segmentation reads at encap_level 0, gets the state
of the outer header.
Let SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID describe the innermost IPv4 header again, as it
did before that commit, and replace SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_INNER with
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER for the outer header of an encapsulated
packet. A new outer header then has no flag and gets incrementing IDs,
so encapsulation needs no change, and decapsulation clears the outer
flag in iptunnel_pull_offloads() and bpf_skb_net_shrink(). Convert mlx5
and sfc, the two drivers that use the inner flag.
Fixes: 3271f19bf7b9 ("net: gso: restore ids of outer ip headers correctly")

Send TCP segments with fixed or incrementing IPv4 IDs from a packet
socket, let GRO on a veth merge them, forward the merged packets into
IPIP, GRE and VXLAN tunnels over IPv4 and IPv6 and into an ESP tunnel
mode SA offloaded to netdevsim, with segmentation done in software, and
check that the inner IDs come out as they went in and the IDs of a new
outer IPv4 header are unique, or for ESP increment. Also forward a VXLAN
stream with one header's IDs fixed after decapsulation into IPIP, and
send the merged packets through a tunnel that the far end decapsulates
without segmenting them before it forwards them.
A test where GRO merged nothing is skipped.

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/179182559332.434549.18294510093742639467@kernel.org/
I then reproduced it with the selftest in patch 2: on net, 6 of its 18

net: keep the TCP fixed-ID flags on the header they describe
This patch makes SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID describe the innermost IPv4 header
again. It replaces SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_INNER with
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER for the outer header of an encapsulated packet.
Decapsulation clears the outer flag in iptunnel_pull_offloads() and
bpf_skb_net_shrink(), and mlx5 and sfc are converted to the new flag.

[Severity: High]
Is "nothing to do on encapsulation" still true when the skb is already
encapsulated?
Take a forwarded IPIP stream that a router GRO merges without
terminating the tunnel. ipip_gro_complete() sets skb->encapsulation = 1.
tcp4_gro_complete() then maps the old outer header's fixed-ID bit to
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER.
If that skb is then routed into an IP tunnel,
ipip_tunnel_xmit()->iptunnel_handle_offloads() skips the reset block and
only ORs in the new tunnel type:
net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c:iptunnel_handle_offloads() {
if (likely(!skb->encapsulation)) {
skb_reset_inner_headers(skb);
skb->encapsulation = 1;
}
if (skb_is_gso(skb)) {
...
skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type |= gso_type_mask;
return 0;
}
}
So SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER stays set. IPVS ip_vs_tunnel_xmit() goes
through the same helper.
In software GSO, inet_gso_segment() handles the newly created outermost
header at encap_level 0 with skb->encapsulation set. It reads
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER, which was recorded for the old outer header.
Would every segment then share one ID on the header the tunnel just
built, even though iptunnel_xmit() reserved gso_segs IDs for it?
For IPIP-in-IPIP, ipip_gso_segment() reaches the old outer header (now
the middle one) at encap_level > 0. There it reads SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID,
which holds the innermost header's state. With two flags and three IPv4
headers, the middle header's state can't be represented.
The ESP tunnel mode case doesn't look affected. GRO'd encapsulated skbs
have inner_protocol set, so xfrm_output() segments them through
xfrm_output_gso() before ESP adds its header.
The behaviour here is the same as before the patch. However, the commit
message says the "forwarded into an IPIP tunnel" case is fixed and that
"encapsulation needs no change".
Should the tunnel xmit path clear SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER when it adds
a header to an already-encapsulated skb? Or should the comment and the
commit message be narrowed?

[Severity: High]
The commit message says decapsulation "clears the outer flag in
iptunnel_pull_offloads() and bpf_skb_net_shrink()". Does the netfilter
flowtable IPIP fast path need the same change?
nf_flow_encap_pop()->nf_flow_ip_tunnel_pop() removes the outer IPv4
header of a GRO'd IPIP skb:
net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_ip.c:nf_flow_ip_tunnel_pop() {
...
skb_pull(skb, ctx->tun.hdr_size);
skb_reset_network_header(skb);
if (ctx->tun.inner_proto == IPPROTO_IPIP)
skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_IP);
...
}
It never touches gso_type or skb->encapsulation.
ipip_gro_complete() set skb->encapsulation = 1, and tcp4_gro_complete()
stored the removed outer header's state in SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER. On
transmit, software GSO runs inet_gso_segment() for the remaining header
at encap_level 0. It reads SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER and ignores
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID, which is the flag that describes this header.
Suppose the removed header had fixed IDs and the remaining one did not.
Wouldn't every forwarded segment get the same ID? inet_gro_flush() only
requires DF to match between packets, so that header may have DF clear.
In the reverse case, fixed IDs are rewritten as incrementing.
The result is the same as before the patch. Still, this is the
"Decapsulation leaves the state of the removed outer header on the new
outer one" case that the commit message says is fixed.
Should nf_flow_ip_tunnel_pop() also clear SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER, or
skb->encapsulation?

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but the documentation no longer matches the code
here.
The new clear only runs when BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L4_MASK or
BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_IPXIP_MASK flags are passed. The
bpf_skb_adjust_room() documentation in include/uapi/linux/bpf.h lists
which SKB_GSO_* flags each decap flag clears, and this one isn't
included. That documentation also says BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L3_IPV4 and
BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L3_IPV6 "only trigger a protocol change without
clearing any tunnel-specific GSO flags".
The new skbuff.h comment says, with no qualification, "Decapsulation
clears the outer flag". After a decap with flags = 0 or with only the
DECAP_L3 flags, both SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER and skb->encapsulation
stay set. inet_gso_segment() then applies the removed header's state to
the new outermost header.
Could the uapi documentation list SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER, and could
the skbuff.h comment be qualified to match?

[Severity: Medium]
Does the else branch hold for ESP transport mode and BEET with crypto
offload?
xfrm_output() sets skb->encapsulation = 1 for every offloaded state. For
transport and BEET GSO skbs it then only adds SKB_GSO_ESP:
net/xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output() {
...
xfrm_get_inner_ipproto(skb, x);
skb->encapsulation = 1;
if (skb_is_gso(skb)) {
if (skb->inner_protocol && x->props.mode == XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL)
return xfrm_output_gso(net, sk, skb);
skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type |= SKB_GSO_ESP;
goto out;
...
}
No second IPv4 header is added.
The stack can fall back to software GSO when the device lacks GSO_ESP
or TSO_MANGLEID, or in validate_xmit_xfrm() after a reroute. In that
case inet_gso_segment() handles the only IPv4 header at encap_level 0
with skb->encapsulation == 1. It takes the else branch and reads
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_OUTER.
esp4_gso_segment()->xfrm4_transport_gso_segment() and
xfrm4_beet_gso_segment() call the TCP handler directly, so
SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID is never read on this path.
For a forwarded TCP stream that GRO merged without a tunnel,
tcp4_gro_complete() sets only SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID, because
skb->encapsulation is 0 at GRO time.
Won't these segments now get incrementing IDs even though the stream had
fixed IDs? Before this patch, SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID << encap with
encap == 0 read SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID and the IDs were kept.

selftests: net: check TCP IP IDs across tunnels after GRO and GSO
This adds a packet socket helper and a script. The script sends TCP
segments with fixed or incrementing IPv4 IDs through veth GRO into IPIP,
GRE, VXLAN and netdevsim-offloaded ESP tunnels. It then checks that inner
IDs are preserved and that outer IDs are unique or increment, and it
skips runs in which GRO merged nothing.

[Severity: Low]
What happens here when the receiver runs without -c? Only -c sets stop,
so it defaults to 0:
static int segs = 40, bursts = 10, len = 1000, wait_ms = 2000, stop;
With stop == 0 and no -f, (uint16_t)(id - INCR_ID) >= 0 is always true.
Every frame then counts as inner_bad, even when the IDs are correct.
The usage comment lists [-c segs] as optional for rx. capture() in
tcp_fixedid.sh always passes -c "$TOTAL", so this only affects running
the helper by hand as documented.
Should rx without -f require -c, or fall back to some other range?

[Severity: Low]
Can this EXIT trap leave behind the netdevsim devices that run_esp()
creates? Only run_esp()'s own return paths call nsim_del(). If the script
is killed during run_esp(), for example by a runner timeout or Ctrl-C,
the trap only deletes the namespaces.
netdevsim ports have no rtnl_link_ops, so default_device_exit_net() moves
them into init_net instead of destroying them:
net/core/dev.c:default_device_exit_net() {
...
/* Leave virtual devices for the generic cleanup */
if (dev->rtnl_link_ops && !dev->rtnl_link_ops->netns_refund)
continue;
/* Push remaining network devices to init_net */
...
}
That leaves two netdevsim bus devices and their netdevs in the host
namespace. Could cleanup() also call nsim_del?

[Severity: Medium]
Does the ESP case report FAIL instead of SKIP when GRO merged nothing?
The commit message says:
A test where GRO merged nothing is skipped.
The header comment says the same.
Without merging, each forwarded skb carries one segment.
xfrm4_tunnel_encap_add() copies DF from the inner header and calls
ip_select_ident(dev_net(dst->dev), skb, NULL). ip_select_ident_segs()
then does:
if ((iph->frag_off & htons(IP_DF)) && !skb->ignore_df) {
iph->id = 0;
return;
}
Every ESP outer ID is therefore 0 and outer_ids is 1. The outer=incr
check sets RET=1 before the skip test, so the RET -eq 0 condition never
lets run_esp() skip. The unique and 0 outer modes do skip correctly in
the same situation.
Also, the header comment says the ESP outer IDs must "increment".
outer_ids < 2 only checks that at least two distinct outer IDs were
seen. Is a stricter check intended here?

[Severity: Medium]
Can this delete a netdevsim device that another test or the user
created? NSIM_ID is picked at random from 1024..2047.
nsim_bus_dev_new() allocates the ID with ida_alloc_range(id, id), so
new_device fails if that ID is already in use.
In that case nsim_add() returns 1, and nsim_del() writes both NSIM_ID and
NSIM_ID + 1 to del_device, whether or not this run created them.
The same applies to NSIM_ID + 1 if the second nsim_add() collides. It
also applies if the first nsim_add() creates NSIM_ID and then ip link
set netns fails.
Could nsim_del() remove only the IDs that nsim_add() actually created?

[Severity: Low]
Is this teardown order intended? The success path runs cleanup_all_ns
before nsim_del, but the error paths in run_esp() run nsim_del first.
Because the namespaces are deleted first, default_device_exit_net()
moves the netdevsim ports into init_net. They briefly appear as host
interfaces until nsim_del removes them.
Would calling nsim_del before cleanup_all_ns here match the error paths?

[Severity: Low]
The script already sources lib.sh, and lib.sh has helpers for most
of what is open-coded here:
- create_netdevsim() and cleanup_netdevsim() cover nsim_add() and
nsim_del()
- slowwait() covers the readiness loop in capture()
- check_gen_prog() covers the [ ! -x "$TX" ] test before the main
loop
The netdevsim case is not just style. nsim_add() writes new_device in
the initial namespace. It then runs ip link set netns on whatever name
the glob finds under devices/netdevsim$1/net/.
On a host running udevd, the interface can be renamed between the glob
and the ip link call. The move then fails, or nsim_add() prints a
stale name. Either way run_esp() skips, or later commands act on the
wrong name.
create_netdevsim() avoids this. It runs udevadm settle and writes
new_device from inside the target namespace via ip netns exec, so the
port never appears in init_net. cleanup_netdevsim() also checks that
the device exists before writing del_device.
Could nsim_add(), nsim_del(), the capture() wait and the TX check use
the lib.sh helpers instead? create_netdevsim() takes the ID and the
namespace as arguments, so run_esp() should still know both IDs for
the link_device write. Is there a reason the lib.sh versions do not
fit here?
