Florian Westphal says: ==================== netfilter: updates for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*. Most of these are LLM fixes for old issues flagged by sashiko/LLMs. Many of these trigger drive-by-findings in sashiko. In particular: - many load/store tearing and missing memory barriers, races etc. in ipset, esp. with GC and resizing. Keeping the proposed patches spinning for yet-another-iteration keeps legit fixes back, so I prefer to add these now and follow up with other reports later. - flowtable work queue still has possible races with teardown, but same rationale as with ipset: drive-by findings, not problems coming with the flowtable IPIP changeset in this PR. - ever since unreadable frag skb support was added in 6.12, we can no longer do: BUG_ON(skb_copy_bits( ...): it will fire with such skbs. Mina Almasry is looking at similar patterns elsewhere in the stack. 1) Guard skb->mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defragmentation in nf_conntrack_reasm. From Xiang Mei. 2) NUL-terminate ebtables table names before calling find_table_lock() to prevent stack-out-of-bounds reads. Also from Xiang Mei. 3) Zero the ebtables chainstack array, else error unwind may free bogus pointer when CPU mask is sparse. All three issues date from 2.6 days. 4) Ensure ebtables module names are c-strings, same bug pattern as 2). Bug added in 4.6. 5) Fix catchall element handling for inverted lookups in nft_lookup. Fold the catchall lookup into ext before computing the match status. Was like this ever since catchall elements got introduced in 5.13. From Tamaki Yanagawa. 6-9) ipset updates from Jozsef Kadlecsik: - mark rcu protected areas correctly - address gc and resize clash in the comment extension - add/del backlog cleanup in the error path - allocate right size for the generic hash structure 10-12): IPIP flowtable updates from Pablo Neira Ayuso: - Use the current direction's route when pushing IPIP headers Fix incorrect headroom and fragmentation offset calculations. - Avoid hardware offload for IPIP tunnels due to lack of driver support. - Support IPIP tunnels with direct xmit in netfilter flowtable. dst_cache and dst_cookie are moved outside the union to share route state across flows. This is a followup to work done in 6.19 cycle. 13) Don't BUG() on skb_copy_bits error. Handle unreadable fragments by either returning an error or restricting the copy operations to linear area, This became an issue when unreable frag support was merged in 6.12. 14-16): IPVS updates from Yizhou Zhao: - Pass parsed transport offset to IPVS state handlers. update callback signatures. - use correct transport header offset on state lookp in TCP. As-is it was possible for ipv6 extension header data to be treated as L4 header. - same for SCTP. This was also broken since 2.6 days. 17) Ensure inner IP headers in ICMP errors are in the skb headroom after stripping outer headers. Add more checks for the length of inner headers. This was broken since 3.7 days.

ethtool: rss: Fix hfunc and input_xfrm parsing on big endian

2026-07-09T09:38:30+00:00

ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HFUNC and ETHTOOL_A_RSS_INPUT_XFRM are NLA_U32 attributes, but ethnl_rss_set() and ethnl_rss_create_doit() parse them with ethnl_update_u8(), which reads a single byte. On little endian this happens to read the least significant byte and works as long as the value fits in a byte. On big endian it reads the most significant byte, so the requested value is parsed incorrectly. The destination fields in struct ethtool_rxfh_param are u8, so the attribute can't be read directly with ethnl_update_u32(). Cap the hfunc policy at U8_MAX so an out of range value is rejected instead of being silently truncated into the u8 field, and add ethnl_update_u8_u32() to read the full u32 and narrow it into the u8 destination.

ipvs: ensure inner headers in ICMP errors are in headroom

2026-07-08T13:33:44+00:00

Sashiko points out that after stripping the outer headers with pskb_pull() we should ensure the inner IP headers in ICMP errors from tunnels are present in the skb headroom for functions like ipv4_update_pmtu(), icmp_send() and IP_VS_DBG(). Also, add more checks for the length of the inner headers.

ipvs: use parsed transport offset in SCTP state lookup

2026-07-08T13:33:44+00:00

set_sctp_state() reads the SCTP chunk header again in order to drive the IPVS SCTP state table. For IPv6 it computes the offset with sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code uses iph.len from ip_vs_fill_iph_skb(), where ipv6_find_hdr() has already skipped extension headers and found the real transport header. This makes the state machine read from the wrong offset for IPv6 SCTP packets that carry extension headers. For example, an INIT packet with an 8-byte destination options header can be scheduled correctly by sctp_conn_schedule(), but set_sctp_state() reads the first byte of the SCTP verification tag as a DATA chunk type. The connection then moves from NONE to ESTABLISHED instead of INIT1, gets the longer established timeout, and updates the active/inactive destination counters incorrectly. This happens even though the SCTP handshake has not completed. Use the parsed transport offset passed down from ip_vs_set_state() for the SCTP chunk-header lookup. For IPv4 and IPv6 packets without extension headers this preserves the existing offset.

ipvs: use parsed transport offset in TCP state lookup

2026-07-08T13:33:44+00:00

TCP state handling reparses the skb to find the TCP header. For IPv6 it uses sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code already parsed the packet with ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() and has the real transport-header offset in iph.len. This makes TCP state handling look at the wrong bytes when an IPv6 packet carries extension headers. Use the parsed transport offset passed down from ip_vs_set_state() when reading the TCP header. For IPv4 and for IPv6 packets without extension headers, the passed offset matches the previous value.

ipvs: pass parsed transport offset to state handlers

2026-07-08T13:33:44+00:00

IPVS callers already parse the packet into struct ip_vs_iphdr before updating connection state. For IPv6 this records the real transport-header offset after extension headers in iph.len. Pass this parsed transport offset through ip_vs_set_state() and the protocol state_transition() callback so protocol handlers can use the same packet context as scheduling and NAT handling. This patch only changes the common callback plumbing and adapts the protocol callback signatures; TCP and SCTP start using the value in follow-up patches.

netfilter: handle unreadable frags

sashiko reports: When an skb with unreadable fragments (such as from devmem TCP, where skb_frags_readable(skb) returns false) is processed by the u32 module, skb_copy_bits() will safely return a negative error code [..] xt_u32: bail out with hotdrop in this case. gather_frags: return -1, just as if we had no fragment header. nfnetlink_queue: restrict to the linear part. nfnetlink_log: restrict to the linear part. v2: - skb_zerocopy helpers don't copy readable flag, i.e. nfnetlink_queue is broken too xt_u32 shouldn't return true if hotdrop was set.

netfilter: flowtable: support IPIP tunnel with direct xmit

2026-07-08T13:33:44+00:00

The combination of IPIP tunnel with direct xmit, eg. bridge device, breaks because no dst_entry is provided to check the skb headroom and to set the iph->frag_off field. This leads to invalid dst usage and can trigger a crash in the tunnel transmit path. Fix this by moving dst_cache and dst_cookie out of the runtime union so that they can be shared by neighbour, xfrm, and direct tunnel flows. For FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT tuples carrying tunnel metadata, preserve route state in these shared fields and release it through the common dst release path. Since dst_entry is now available to the three supported xmit modes and dst_release() already deals with NULL dst, remove the xmit type check in nft_flow_dst_release(). Moreover, skip the check if the dst entry is NULL in nf_flow_dst_check() which is now the case for the direct xmit case. Based on patch from Rein Wei .
