<id>3dcbdb134f329842a38f0e6797191b885ab00a00</id>
<content type='text'>
Historically, support for frag_list packets entering skb_segment() was
limited to frag_list members terminating on exact same gso_size
boundaries. This is verified with a BUG_ON since commit 89319d3801d1
("net: Add frag_list support to skb_segment"), quote:

    As such we require all frag_list members terminate on exact MSS
    boundaries.  This is checked using BUG_ON.
    As there should only be one producer in the kernel of such packets,
    namely GRO, this requirement should not be difficult to maintain.

However, since commit 6578171a7ff0 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_proto helper"),
the "exact MSS boundaries" assumption no longer holds:
An eBPF program using bpf_skb_change_proto() DOES modify 'gso_size', but
leaves the frag_list members as originally merged by GRO with the
original 'gso_size'. Example of such programs are bpf-based NAT46 or
NAT64.

This lead to a kernel BUG_ON for flows involving:
 - GRO generating a frag_list skb
 - bpf program performing bpf_skb_change_proto() or bpf_skb_adjust_room()
 - skb_segment() of the skb

See example BUG_ON reports in [0].

In commit 13acc94eff12 ("net: permit skb_segment on head_frag frag_list skb"),
skb_segment() was modified to support the "gso_size mangling" case of
a frag_list GRO'ed skb, but *only* for frag_list members having
head_frag==true (having a page-fragment head).

Alas, GRO packets having frag_list members with a linear kmalloced head
(head_frag==false) still hit the BUG_ON.

This commit adds support to skb_segment() for a 'head_skb' packet having
a frag_list whose members are *non* head_frag, with gso_size mangled, by
disabling SG and thus falling-back to copying the data from the given
'head_skb' into the generated segmented skbs - as suggested by Willem de
Bruijn [1].

Since this approach involves the penalty of skb_copy_and_csum_bits()
when building the segments, care was taken in order to enable this
solution only when required:
 - untrusted gso_size, by testing SKB_GSO_DODGY is set
   (SKB_GSO_DODGY is set by any gso_size mangling functions in
    net/core/filter.c)
 - the frag_list is non empty, its item is a non head_frag, *and* the
   headlen of the given 'head_skb' does not match the gso_size.

<title>net: sched: add mpls manipulation actions to TC</title>

<id>2a2ea50870baa3fb4de0872c5b60828138654ca7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, TC offers the ability to match on the MPLS fields of a packet
through the use of the flow_dissector_key_mpls struct. However, as yet, TC
actions do not allow the modification or manipulation of such fields.

Add a new module that registers TC action ops to allow manipulation of
MPLS. This includes the ability to push and pop headers as well as modify
the contents of new or existing headers. A further action to decrement the
TTL field of an MPLS header is also provided with a new helper added to
support this.

Examples of the usage of the new action with flower rules to push and pop
MPLS labels are:

tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: flower \
    action mpls push protocol mpls_uc label 123  \
    action mirred egress redirect dev eth1

tc filter add dev eth0 protocol mpls_uc parent ffff: flower \
    action mpls pop protocol ipv4  \
    action mirred egress redirect dev eth1

skb_warn_bad_offload and netdev_rx_csum_fault trigger on hard to debug
issues. Dump more state and the header.

Optionally dump the entire packet and linear segment. This is required
to debug checksum bugs that may include bytes past skb_tail_pointer().

Both call sites call this function inside a net_ratelimit() block.
Limit full packet log further to a hard limit of can_dump_full (5).

Based on an earlier patch by Cong Wang, see link below.

Changes v1 -&gt; v2
  - dump frag_list only on full_pkt

__netdev_alloc_skb() can be used from any context and is used by NAPI
and non-NAPI drivers. Non-NAPI drivers use it in interrupt context and
NAPI drivers use it during initial allocation (-&gt;ndo_open() or
-&gt;ndo_change_mtu()). Some NAPI drivers share the same function for the
initial allocation and the allocation in their NAPI callback.

The interrupts are disabled in order to ensure locked access from every
context to `netdev_alloc_cache'.

Let __netdev_alloc_skb() check if interrupts are disabled. If they are, use
`netdev_alloc_cache'. Otherwise disable BH and use `napi_alloc_cache.page'.
The IRQ check is cheaper compared to disabling &amp; enabling interrupts and
memory allocation with disabled interrupts does not work on -RT.
