Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 05/14] ip6_tunnel: add drop reasons to the receive path
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:39:01 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930183910.3151873-6-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930183910.3151873-1-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>
__ip6_tnl_rcv() mirrors its IPv4 counterpart: all of its failures share
a single plain kfree_skb(). Reuse the drop reasons that ip_tunnel_rcv()
now reports and the ones the length helpers already return.
Note that skb_vlan_inet_prepare() returns an enum skb_drop_reason that
has so far been discarded, and that the ETH_HLEN check gets one by
calling pskb_may_pull_reason() instead of pskb_may_pull().
__ip6_tnl_rcv() is reached two ways: ip6_gre (ip6gre, ip6gretap,
ip6erspan) goes through the exported ip6_tnl_rcv(), while the
ip6_tunnel encapsulations (ip4ip6, ip6ip6, mplsip6) reach it from
ipxip6_rcv(). Only ip6_gre sets the checksum and sequence number bits:
tpi_v4, tpi_v6 and tpi_mpls carry nothing but .proto, and unlike ipip
and sit, ip6_tunnel stores IFLA_IPTUN_FLAGS in parms.flags, not in
parms.i_flags. So the option mismatch and the old sequence reasons are
reachable through ip6_gre alone.
ipxip6_rcv() drops the packets it does not hand to __ip6_tnl_rcv() with
a plain kfree_skb() as well. Give them a reason too:
SKB_DROP_REASON_UNHANDLED_PROTO when the payload is not the one the
tunnel mode carries, the reason the transmit side uses later in the
series, SKB_DROP_REASON_XFRM_POLICY when the xfrm policy check fails,
SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY when ip6_tnl_rcv_ctl() refuses the packet,
the reason iptunnel_pull_header() returns and SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM
when the metadata dst cannot be allocated.
ip6_tnl_rcv_ctl() refuses when the outer destination is not a usable
local address, such as a tentative one, when the outer source belongs
to this host, and when the tunnel cannot receive with the addresses of
the packet. It returns only 0 or 1, so DEV_READY stands for all three,
as it does for ip6_tnl_xmit_ctl() on the transmit side later in the
series, although it describes only the first. Telling them apart needs
both helpers to return a reason, which is left for a follow-up.
ipxip6_rcv() and __ip6_tnl_rcv() follow the rule of ip_tunnel_rcv() for
the reason: it is initialized to SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED, and the
drop label falls back to it, as a helper stores its result in the
reason.
