[ Upstream commit ead7f9b8de65632ef8060b84b0c55049a33cfea1 ]

In Cilium, we use bpf_csum_diff + bpf_l4_csum_replace to, among other
things, update the L4 checksum after reverse SNATing IPv6 packets. That
use case is however not currently supported and leads to invalid
skb-&gt;csum values in some cases. This patch adds support for IPv6 address
changes in bpf_l4_csum_update via a new flag.

When calling bpf_l4_csum_replace in Cilium, it ends up calling
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff:

    1:  void inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff(__sum16 *sum, struct sk_buff *skb,
    2:                                       __wsum diff, bool pseudohdr)
    3:  {
    4:      if (skb-&gt;ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) {
    5:          csum_replace_by_diff(sum, diff);
    6:          if (skb-&gt;ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE &amp;&amp; pseudohdr)
    7:              skb-&gt;csum = ~csum_sub(diff, skb-&gt;csum);
    8:      } else if (pseudohdr) {
    9:          *sum = ~csum_fold(csum_add(diff, csum_unfold(*sum)));
    10:     }
    11: }

The bug happens when we're in the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE state. We've just
updated one of the IPv6 addresses. The helper now updates the L4 header
checksum on line 5. Next, it updates skb-&gt;csum on line 7. It shouldn't.

For an IPv6 packet, the updates of the IPv6 address and of the L4
checksum will cancel each other. The checksums are set such that
computing a checksum over the packet including its checksum will result
in a sum of 0. So the same is true here when we update the L4 checksum
on line 5. We'll update it as to cancel the previous IPv6 address
update. Hence skb-&gt;csum should remain untouched in this case.

The same bug doesn't affect IPv4 packets because, in that case, three
fields are updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4
checksum. The change to the IPv4 address and one of the checksums still
cancel each other in skb-&gt;csum, but we're left with one checksum update
and should therefore update skb-&gt;csum accordingly. That's exactly what
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff does.

This special case for IPv6 L4 checksums is also described atop
inet_proto_csum_replace16, the function we should be using in this case.

This patch introduces a new bpf_l4_csum_replace flag, BPF_F_IPV6,
to indicate that we're updating the L4 checksum of an IPv6 packet. When
the flag is set, inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff will skip the
skb-&gt;csum update.

[ Upstream commit 5a15a050df714959f0d5a57ac3201bd1c6594984 ]

In the bpf_l4_csum_replace helper, the BPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR flag should only
be set if the modified header field is part of the pseudo-header.

If you modify for example the UDP ports and pass BPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR,
inet_proto_csum_replace4 will update skb-&gt;csum even though it shouldn't
(the port and the UDP checksum updates null each other).

When switching network namespaces with the bpf_redirect_peer helper, the
skb-&gt;mark and skb-&gt;tstamp fields are not zeroed out like they can be on
a typical netns switch. This patch clarifies that in the helper
description.

also needs to update asm-generic unistd.h header to get the new syscall
number.  And arm64 unistd.h header was converted to use the generic

<title>tools/include: make uapi/linux/types.h usable from assembly</title>

<id>0efdedb3358aa78102967f242379686f94315830</id>
<content type='text'>
The "real" linux/types.h UAPI header gracefully degrades to a NOOP when
included from assembly code.

Mirror this behaviour in the tools/ variant.

Test for __ASSEMBLER__ over __ASSEMBLY__ as the former is provided by the
toolchain automatically.

Reported-by: Mark Brown &lt;broonie@kernel.org&gt;
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/af553c62-ca2f-4956-932c-dd6e3a126f58@sirena.org.uk/
