Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 05/10] ip_gre: add drop reasons to the RX path
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 01:15:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922221507.3268127-6-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922221507.3268127-1-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>

A packet that reaches gre_rcv() and does not belong to any tunnel is
dropped, after an ICMP port unreachable is sent back, as
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED from the same kfree_skb_reason() call as
a truncated ERSPAN header or a failed metadata allocation. This is the
GRE counterpart of a UDP packet hitting no socket, yet neither the
reason nor the call site tells it apart. The fallback devices such as
gre0 only take such a packet while they are up, and they are created
down.

Add SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND for it, in the spirit of the
existing SKB_DROP_REASON_VXLAN_VNI_NOT_FOUND.

erspan_rcv(), __ipgre_rcv() and ipgre_rcv() now return
SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET where they returned PACKET_RCVD, including the paths
that free the packet themselves, and a drop reason where they returned
PACKET_REJECT or PACKET_NEXT. __ipgre_rcv() only returned PACKET_NEXT
when no tunnel matched, so the retry ipgre_rcv() does for ETH_P_TEB is
now taken on SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND.

The length checks reuse SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC. The headers are
pulled with __iptunnel_pull_header_reason(), added by the previous
patch, which reports a packet too short to pull as
SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_SMALL and an allocation failure as
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM. The metadata allocation failures reuse
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM as well.

SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND is documented without naming an
address family. The IPv6 side is converted by the next patch, which
ends its lookup failures with the same reason.
