commit ead7f9b8de65632ef8060b84b0c55049a33cfea1 upstream.
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->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->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) { 5: csum_replace_by_diff(sum, diff); 6: if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE && pseudohdr) 7: skb->csum = ~csum_sub(diff, skb->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->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->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->csum, but we're left with one checksum update and should therefore update skb->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->csum update.
