[ Upstream commit 30a92c9e3d6b073932762bef2ac66f4ee784c657 ]

Open vSwitch is originally intended to switch at layer 2, only dealing with
Ethernet frames.  With the introduction of l3 tunnels support, it crossed
into the realm of needing to care a bit about some routing details when
making forwarding decisions.  If an oversized packet would need to be
fragmented during this forwarding decision, there is a chance for pmtu
to get involved and generate a routing exception.  This is gated by the
skbuff-&gt;pkt_type field.

When a flow is already loaded into the openvswitch module this field is
set up and transitioned properly as a packet moves from one port to
another.  In the case that a packet execute is invoked after a flow is
newly installed this field is not properly initialized.  This causes the
pmtud mechanism to omit sending the required exception messages across
the tunnel boundary and a second attempt needs to be made to make sure
that the routing exception is properly setup.  To fix this, we set the
outgoing packet's pkt_type to PACKET_OUTGOING, since it can only get
to the openvswitch module via a port device or packet command.

Even for bridge ports as users, the pkt_type needs to be reset when
doing the transmit as the packet is truly outgoing and routing needs
to get involved post packet transformations, in the case of
VXLAN/GENEVE/udp-tunnel packets.  In general, the pkt_type on output
gets ignored, since we go straight to the driver, but in the case of
tunnel ports they go through IP routing layer.

This issue is periodically encountered in complex setups, such as large
openshift deployments, where multiple sets of tunnel traversal occurs.
A way to recreate this is with the ovn-heater project that can setup
a networking environment which mimics such large deployments.  We need
larger environments for this because we need to ensure that flow
misses occur.  In these environment, without this patch, we can see:

  ./ovn_cluster.sh start
  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip r a 170.168.0.5/32 dev eth1 mtu 1200
  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip netns exec sw01p1 ip r flush cache
  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip netns exec sw01p1 \
         ping 21.0.0.3 -M do -s 1300 -c2
  PING 21.0.0.3 (21.0.0.3) 1300(1328) bytes of data.
  From 21.0.0.3 icmp_seq=2 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 1142)

  --- 21.0.0.3 ping statistics ---
  ...

Using tcpdump, we can also see the expected ICMP FRAG_NEEDED message is not
sent into the server.

With this patch, setting the pkt_type, we see the following:

  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip netns exec sw01p1 \
         ping 21.0.0.3 -M do -s 1300 -c2
  PING 21.0.0.3 (21.0.0.3) 1300(1328) bytes of data.
  From 21.0.0.3 icmp_seq=1 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 1222)
  ping: local error: message too long, mtu=1222

  --- 21.0.0.3 ping statistics ---
  ...

In this case, the first ping request receives the FRAG_NEEDED message and
a local routing exception is created.

<title>net: openvswitch: fix misuse of the cached connection on tuple changes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1fd81dca55dd945cfda1ec37731fb4c0e1e7582</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2061ecfdf2350994e5b61c43e50e98a7a70e95ee upstream.

If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant
for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet
classification.

This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments
with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped.

The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple
changes between them:

  actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)),
          set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)),
          set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)),
          ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4)

After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully
re-written.  The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry
and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the
pipeline.

Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed
to avoid the issue.

The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still
be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after
the tuple change but before the next ct() action.

[ Upstream commit 3f2a3050b4a3e7f32fc0ea3c9b0183090ae00522 ]

'OVS_CLONE_ATTR_EXEC' is an internal attribute that is used for
performance optimization inside the kernel.  It's added by the kernel
while parsing user-provided actions and should not be sent during the
flow dump as it's not part of the uAPI.

The issue doesn't cause any significant problems to the ovs-vswitchd
process, because reported actions are not really used in the
application lifecycle and only supposed to be shown to a human via
ovs-dpctl flow dump.  However, the action list is still incorrect
and causes the following error if the user wants to look at the
datapath flows:

  # ovs-dpctl add-dp system@ovs-system
  # ovs-dpctl add-flow "&lt;flow match&gt;" "clone(ct(commit),0)"
  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(bad length 4, expected -1 for: action0(01 00 00 00),
                  ct(commit),0)

With the fix:

  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(ct(commit),0)

Additionally fixed an incorrect attribute name in the comment.

commit d9b5ae5c1b241b91480aa30408be12fe91af834a upstream.

Ipv6 ttl, label and tos fields are modified without first
pulling/pushing the ipv6 header, which would have updated
the hw csum (if available). This might cause csum validation
when sending the packet to the stack, as can be seen in
the trace below.

Fix this by updating skb-&gt;csum if available.

Trace resulted by ipv6 ttl dec and then sending packet
to conntrack [actions: set(ipv6(hlimit=63)),ct(zone=99)]:

for IPv4 packets, ovs_fragment() uses a temporary struct dst_entry. Then,
in the following call graph:

  ip_do_fragment()
    ip_skb_dst_mtu()
      ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward()
        ip_mtu_locked()

the pointer to struct dst_entry is used as pointer to struct rtable: this
turns the access to struct members like rt_mtu_locked into an OOB read in
the stack. Fix this changing the temporary variable used for IPv4 packets
in ovs_fragment(), similarly to what is done for IPv6 few lines below.

[ Upstream commit 0e3183cd2a64843a95b62f8bd4a83605a4cf0615 ]

Skbs may have their checksum value populated by HW. If this is a checksum
calculated over the entire packet then the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE field is
marked. Changes to the data pointer on the skb throughout the network
stack still try to maintain this complete csum value if it is required
through functions such as skb_postpush_rcsum.

The MPLS actions in Open vSwitch modify a CHECKSUM_COMPLETE value when
changes are made to packet data without a push or a pull. This occurs when
the ethertype of the MAC header is changed or when MPLS lse fields are
modified.

The modification is carried out using the csum_partial function to get the
csum of a buffer and add it into the larger checksum. The buffer is an
inversion of the data to be removed followed by the new data. Because the
csum is calculated over 16 bits and these values align with 16 bits, the
effect is the removal of the old value from the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and
addition of the new value.

However, the csum fed into the function and the outcome of the
calculation are also inverted. This would only make sense if it was the
new value rather than the old that was inverted in the input buffer.

Fix the issue by removing the bit inverts in the csum_partial calculation.

The bug was verified and the fix tested by comparing the folded value of
the updated CHECKSUM_COMPLETE value with the folded value of a full
software checksum calculation (reset skb-&gt;csum to 0 and run
skb_checksum_complete(skb)). Prior to the fix the outcomes differed but
after they produce the same result.

<id>urn:sha1:b233504033dbd65740e59681820ccfd0a2a8ec53</id>
<content type='text'>
Add 'clone' action to kernel datapath by using existing functions.
When actions within clone don't modify the current flow, the flow
key is not cloned before executing clone actions.

This is a follow up patch for this incomplete work:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/722096/

v1 -&gt; v2:
Refactor as advised by reviewer.

<id>urn:sha1:b8226962b1c49c784aeddb9d2fafbf53dfdc2190</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a ct_clear action for clearing conntrack state. ct_clear is
currently implemented in OVS userspace, but is not backed by an action
in the kernel datapath. This is useful for flows that may modify a
packet tuple after a ct lookup has already occurred.
