commit b197df4f0f3782782e9ea8996e91b65ae33e8dd9 upstream.

Instead of doing the rt6-&gt;rt6i_node check whenever we need
to get the route's cookie.  Refactor it into rt6_get_cookie().
It is a prep work to handle FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH and also
percpu rt6_info later.

<title>ip6_tunnel: Fix missing tunnel encapsulation limit option</title>

commit 89a23c8b528bd2c89f3981573d6cd7d23840c8a6 upstream.

The IPv6 tunneling code tries to insert IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT and
IPV6_TLV_PADN options when an encapsulation limit is defined (the
default is a limit of 4).  An MTU adjustment is done to account for
these options as well.  However, the options are never present in the
generated packets.

The issue appears to be a subtlety between IPV6_DSTOPTS and
IPV6_RTHDRDSTOPTS defined in RFC 3542.  When the IPIP tunnel driver was
written, the encap limit options were included as IPV6_RTHDRDSTOPTS in
dst0opt of struct ipv6_txoptions.  Later, ipv6_push_nfrags_opts was
(correctly) updated to require IPV6_RTHDR options when IPV6_RTHDRDSTOPTS
are to be used.  This caused the options to no longer be included in v6
encapsulated packets.

The fix is to use IPV6_DSTOPTS (in dst1opt of struct ipv6_txoptions)
instead.  IPV6_DSTOPTS do not have the additional IPV6_RTHDR requirement.

Fixes: 1df64a8569c7: ("[IPV6]: Add ip6ip6 tunnel driver.")
Fixes: 333fad5364d6: ("[IPV6]: Support several new sockopt / ancillary data in Advanced API (RFC3542)")

Casting is a high precedence operation but "off" and "i" are in terms of

[ Upstream commit fbfa743a9d2a0ffa24251764f10afc13eb21e739 ]

This function suffers from multiple issues.

First one is that pskb_may_pull() may reallocate skb-&gt;head,
so the 'raw' pointer needs either to be reloaded or not used at all.

Second issue is that NEXTHDR_DEST handling does not validate
that the options are present in skb-&gt;data, so we might read
garbage or access non existent memory.

The issue is apprently there since at leat Linux-2.6.12-rc2.

commit 23f4ffedb7d751c7e298732ba91ca75d224bc1a6 upstream.

skb-&gt;cb may contain data from previous layers. In the observed scenario,
the garbage data were misinterpreted as IP6CB(skb)-&gt;frag_max_size, so
that small packets sent through the tunnel are mistakenly fragmented.

This patch unconditionally clears the control buffer in ip6tunnel_xmit(),
which affects ip6_tunnel, ip6_udp_tunnel and ip6_gre. Currently none of
these tunnels set IP6CB(skb)-&gt;flags, otherwise it needs to be done earlier.

When a tunnel decapsulates the outer header, it has to comply
with RFC 6080 and eventually propagate CE mark into inner header.

It turns out IP6_ECN_set_ce() does not correctly update skb-&gt;csum

Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in ip6_tnl_create
because register_netdevice will now create a valid name.  This works for the
net_device itself.

However the tunnel keeps a copy of the name in the parms structure for the
ip6_tnl associated with the tunnel.  parms.name is set by copying the net_device
name in ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen.  That function is called from ip6_tnl_dev_init in
ip6_tnl_create, but it is done before register_netdevice is called so the name
is set to a bogus value in the parms.name structure.

This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show:

[root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel add remote fec0::100 local fec0::200
[root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel show
ip6tnl0: ipv6/ipv6 remote :: local :: encaplimit 0 hoplimit 0 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)
ip6tnl%d: ipv6/ipv6 remote fec0::100 local fec0::200 encaplimit 4 hoplimit 64 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)
[root@localhost ~]#

Fix this by moving the strcpy out of ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen, and calling it after
register_netdevice has successfully returned.
