Hi Pablo,

This is v3 of the GTP improvements.

This series lays the groundwork for removing the socket references from
the GTP netdevice by removing duplicate code and simplifying the logic on
some code paths.

It slighly changes the GTP genl API by making the socket parameters optional
(though one of them is still required).

The removal of the socket references will break the 1:1 releation between
GTP netdevice and GTP socket that prevents us to support multiple VRFs with
overlaping IP addresse spaces attached to the same GTP-U entity (needed for
multi APN support).

Pablo found a socket hold problem in v2. In order to solve that I had to
switch the socket references from the struct socket to the internal
struct sock. This should have no functionl impact, but we can now hang
on to the reference without blocking user space from closing the GTP socket.

There was also some length off-list conversation about why the netdevice to
socket relation needs to be changed at all. Harald did already agree to this
but Pablo had some questions. I've tried to address that with a bit of
dokumentation for the GTP module. Hopefully this will explain the need for
the change sufficiently.

This series does have conflicts with the SGSN side tunnel work done by
Jonas Bonn. The unification of the tunnel Rx code touches the same places
he changed.

v2->v3:
 * add documentation to explain the goal of all these changes
 * incorporate review comments
 * switch from struct socket to struct sock

Regards
Andreas

The GTP-U implementation in not only driven by 3GPP TS 29.281, but
also by the requirements of the 3GPP network entities that use it.

This document tries to explain and clarify some design decision and
their origins.

+
+General Packet Radio System (GPRS) Tunnelling Protocol User Plane (GTP-U)
+=========================================================================
+
+The GTP-U protocol is a tunnelling protocol used in public land mobile networks
+[PLMN]. It is always use together with a user space control instance implementing
+a 3GPP network entity (e.g. GGSN, SGSN, PDN-GW, S-GW).
+
+The protocol is specified for version 0 in [GSM 09.60] and for version 1 in
+[3GPP TS 29.281]. However, the functionality defined in those documents has
+always to be taken in relation of the functional 3GPP entity that is using it.
+
+The rest of document is focusing on version 1 of the protocol. GTPv1 to GTPv0
+interworking and the use of GTPv0-U in general has be depreciated from 3GPP Rel8
+onward [3GPP TS 29.060].
+
+Local GTP-U entity and tunnel identification
+--------------------------------------------
+
+GTP-U uses UDP for transporting PDU's. The receiving UDP port is 2152 for
+GTPv1-U and 3386 for GTPv0-U.
+
+There is only one GTP-U entity (and therefor SGSN/GGSN/S-GW/PDN-GW instance)
+per IP address. Tunnel Endpoint Identifier (TEID) are unique per GTP-U entity.
+
+A specific tunnel is only defined by the destination entity. Since the
+destination port is constant, only the destination IP and TEID define
+a tunnel. The source IP and Port have no meaning for the tunnel.
+
+Therefore:
+
+  * when sending, the remote entity is defined by the remote IP and the tunnel
+    endpoint id. The source IP and port have no meaning and can be changed
+    at any time.
+
+  * when receiving the local entity is defined by the local destination IP
+     and the tunnel endpoint id. The source IP and port have no meaning and can
+     change at any time.
+
+[3GPP TS 29.281] Section 4.3.0 defines this so:
+
+> The TEID in the GTP-U header is used to de-multiplex traffic incoming from
+> remote tunnel endpoints so that it is delivered to the User plane entities
+> in a way that allows multiplexing of different users, different packet
+> protocols and different QoS levels. Therefore no two remote GTP-U endpoints
+> shall send traffic to a GTP-U protocol entity using the same TEID value except
+> for data forwarding as part of mobility procedures.
+
+The definition above only defines that two remote GTP-U endpoints *should not*
+send to the same TEID, it *does not* forbid or exclude such a scenario. In
+fact, the mentioned mobility procedures make it necessary that the GTP-U entity
+accepts traffic for TEID's from multiple or unknown peers.
+
+Therefor the receiving side only identifies tunnels based on TEID's, not based
+on the source IP.
+
+APN vs. Network Device
+----------------------
+
+The GTP-U driver creates a Linux network device for each Gi/SGi interface.
+
+[3GPP TS 29.281] calls the Gi/SGi reference point an interface. This may lead
+to the impression that the GGSN/P-GW can have only one such interface.
+
+Correct is that the Gi/SGi reference point defines the interworking between
+the 3GPP packet domain (PDN) based on GTP-U tunnel and IP based networks.
+
+There is no provision in any of the 3GPP documents that limits the number of
+Gi/SGi interfaces implemented by a GGSN/P-GW.
+
+[3GPP TS 29.061] Section 11.3 makes it clear that the selection of a specific
+Gi/SGi interfaces is made through the Access Point Name (APN):
+
+>    2. each private network manages its own addressing. In general this will
+>       result in different private networks having overlapping address ranges.
+>       A logically separate connection (e.g. an IP in IP tunnel or layer 2
+>       virtual circuit) is used between the GGSN/P-GW and each private network.
+>       In this case the IP address alone is not necessarily unique. The pair
+>       of values, Access Point Name (APN) and IPv4 address and/or IPv6
+>       prefixes, is unique.
+
+In order to support the overlapping address range use case, each APN is mapped
+to a separate Gi/SGi interface (network device).
+
+NOTE: The Access Point Name is purely a control plane (GTP-C) concept. At the
+      GTP-U level, only Tunnel Endpoint Identifiers are present in GTP-U packets
+      and network devices are known. Therefore for a given UE the mapping in
+      IP to PDN network is:
+
+       * network device + MS IP -> Peer IP + Peer TEID,
+
+      and from PDN to IP network:
+
+       * local GTP-U IP + TEID  -> network device
+
+      Furthermore, before a received T-PDU is injected into the network device
+      the MS IP is checked against the IP recorded in PDP context.

After enabling the UDP encapsulation, only the sk member is used.

Holding the socket would prevent user space from closing the socket,
but holding a reference to the sk member does not have the same
effect.

This change will make it simpler to later detach the sockets from
the netdevice.

Having both GTPv0-U and GTPv1-U is not always desirable.
Fallback from GTPv1-U to GTPv0-U was depreciated from 3GPP
Rel-8 onwards. Post Rel-8 implementation are discuraged
from listening on the v0 port (see 3GPP TS 29.281, Sect. 1).

A future change will completely decouple the sockets from the
network device. Till then, at least one of the sockets needs to
be specified (either v0 or v1), the other is optional.

Both function are always used together with the final goal to
get the gtp_dev. This simplifies the code by merging them together.

The netdevice lookup is changed to use the regular dev_get_by_index.
The gtp netdevice list is now only used to find the PDP contexts for
imcomming packets. It can be completely eliminated Once the TEID
hash is moved into the GTP socket.

Add network device to gtp context in preparation for splitting
the TEID from the network device.

Use this to rework the socker rx path. Move the common RX part
of v0 and v1 into a helper. Also move the final rx part into
that helper as well.

This unifies duplicate code into a helper. It also prepares the
groundwork to add a lookup version that uses the socket to find
attache pdp contexts.

Having the socket present in context simplifies the sending logic.
It also fixes the invalid assumption that we have to use the same
sending socket for all client IP's on a specific gtp interface.

This does "sock_put(NULL);" because you are assigning gtp->sk0 to
NULL before the sock_put() call.  So you are leaking the socket,
at best.

You need to load the socket pointer into a local variable in order
to do this correctly.

I don't understand how this should happen. If I where to use rcu_assign_pointer,
then yes, but rcu_assign_sk_user_data does assign to the sk_user_data member
of struct sock and not to the argument itself.

You are right, I misread the assignment.

Hi Pablo, Harald,

Do you have some time to look at the patches?

Hi Andreas,

this is not really about the documentation, but it still makes sense to
discuss here as the issue is best described:

I so far always assumed that you use GTP-C "MODIFY PDP CONTEXT" in case
of such mobility situations, i.e. the control plane explicitly notifies
the GTP-U entity of a change in the SGSN/S-GW address.

At least for 3G this seems to be the case, and my assumption appears to
be confirmed with sources such as e.g. page 15 of
http://www.nwadmin.de/presentation_mobility_manag ement_in_UMTS.pdf

Also, for LTE, it seems that there's a GTPv2-C "Modify Bearer
Request/Response" involved in relocation from one S-GW to another S-GW:

Section 5.5.1.1.3 of TS 23.401 agrees with the GTPv2C signalling during
relocation, AFAICT.

I'm wondering if this really is neccesary. Do you have actual protocol
traces, specs or any other literature confirming this?  

I find it somewhat surprising, given how much this opens the door for
arbitrary spoofing from anyone (with access to the respective private
network such as GRX).

So in which situations specifically will thre be a S-GW side Address
change without associated GTP-C signaling informing the P-GW about the
new S-GW side Address + TEID?

Yes. It took me a while to realize this. The crux is this statement in TS 29.060,
Section 7.3.1:

IMHO, this implies that the source IP of GTP-U and GTP-C frames does not have to
match the GSN address specified by a Create PDP Context Request.

For GTPv2-C there is no such clear statement. However, GTPv2-C makes it clear
that a TEID describes the local tunnel ENDPOINT, there nothing that defines
the tunnel *source* (the same is true for GTPv1-C, except that is not so
explicit).

TS 29.274, Section 4.2.2.1, Initial Messages:

TS 23.401, Annex D, Sect. D.3.3. makes is clear beyond doubt that we have to
accept packet for a valid TEID from virtually any IP. If you look at figure
D.3.3-1, step 16, you will see that only the new SGSN is contacting the P-GW.
There is no prior advertisement of the change from the old SGSN.

Step 16 would therefor not work if we limited the tunnel to a specific source
IP.

The same applies to figure D.3.4-1, step 18.

Yes, it does. But that notification only applies to the tunnel endpoint at
the SGSN/S-GW in the GGSN/P-GW to SGSN/S-GW direction.

I think this affirms my argument, Step 3a is sending GTP packets from a
source IP that is know to the P-GW before. The fact that this is only
used for GTP-C does IMHO not mean that the same should not apply to
GTP-U.

Again, there is nothing in there that defines a IP *source*, a F-TEID is
a tunnel ENDPOINT id not a tunnel SOURCE id.

So far I have only seen symmetric GTP-U tunnels. However I believe there
is nothing that would stop a SGSN/S-GW from switching GPT-U tunnel source
transparently across IP's (for example a system with multiple shelves might
use different shelve in DL/UL direction and have therefore multiple IP's.

Yes it is, but it is mandated without a doubt by the specification for
GTP-C. For the reasons outline before, I think that this applies to
GTP-U as well.

As above, multi shelve systems with asymmetric UL/DL path.

Also sounds right to me. When the tunnel is established, each side of a GTP
tunnel stores the other side's IP and TEID; port number is constant
(unfortunately, which is one of the ideas/reasons behind gtphub).

Hi Andreas,

Yes, I follow that reasoning for GTP-C (i.e. the transport-layer S-GW
source IP of the CREATE PDP CTX REQ may differ from the one signalled
inside GTP-C.

For GTP-U however, this just means that GTP-U in general can use
different IP addresses from GTP-C.  This is well-known and I also have
no doubts about this.

But what I still doubt is whether within an ongoing GTP-U tunnel, the
source IP address can change at any time without any signaling
announcing that change.

Yes, but that is again GTP-C, and not GTP-U.

correct. But it is a GTP-C transaction.

yes, it might.  But then, on the other hand - at least for what I know
about 2G/3G - it is typically very cumbersome to announce IP addresses
to roaming partners.  It involves manual updating of related GSMA
[paper?] forms, exchanging them with all roaming partners, and
coordinating a change with them.  AFAIK, it is not possible to announce
'this is my range of S-GW IP addreses', but you have to individually
manually announce each of them in the related documents.   There are
projects out there where people are building additional layers of
address translation just to work around those long and error-prone
manual procedures, making sure that the externally visible IP addresses
of a given SGSN/GGSN are always the same ones.

So yes, all of the above are practical/procedural concerns, but they
would be explanations why this scenario - even if it might be supported
by the specs - is unlikely in practise, at least within current/past
procedures and practises.

Finally, from the point of view of packet filtering (which operators
typically implement, otherwise the manual announcement of SGSN IP
addresses by the above procedures wouldn't be required), it would be
impossible to do state based filtering if there were use cases where an
random IP address colud send valid traffic for a given tunnel.

For GTP-U it may be the case.  I'm not entirely convinced, though.
Also, even if the specifications wanted to support such scenarios, I
think it is doubtful that this is actually implemented in practise.

If it was my choice, and I had to support the "loose matching", I would
make it a configuration option (sysctl? netlink attribute?) and default
to the more strict matching, including the source address.  It just
seems to make much more sense and be more safe/sane.  For those people
who really need the loose matching (and who are willing to pay the price
for it in terms of opening up to spoofing and making packet filtering
harder), they can set the option.

But then, I'm not the one doing that implementation, so it is up to you.
My opinion is just an opinion.

	Harald

All of above applies to roaming, however provider internal traffic is
usually not filtered and bound to GSMA IR.21 process. The use cases
and procedures supported in roaming might therefore be different from
the ones when connected to the home PLMN.

If a firewall is deployed, then it's a decision made at that point to
block or allow certain scenarios, but that should not have an impact
on what we would like to support at the GTP-U instance.

I believe we should attempt to support all defined and legal use-cases
and leave the filtering to other layers (iptables, nftables or external
firewalls).

The GSMA has also something to say about firewall and GTP IP source
addresses (although I think this mostly applies to GTP-C),
GSMA IR.33 v8.01, Section A.2:

I then goes on to describe how state-aware firewalls will have problems
with that.

Anyhow, this clearly indicates that using different source IP's is a valid
use case (whether or not that might break in roaming scenarios).

I've done a test with a GTP implementation in a router from a big vendor
(an ePDG, not a GGSN/PGW). That implementation did not like asymmetric
GTP-U endpoint IP's. However, this seems to be a limitation of some kind
of receive path optimization and not a deliberate filter (at least when
I interpret the error messages correctly).

That might be an idea, not in the sense of matching but as an additional
filter. After the all the TEID is supposed the unique identifier for the
tunnel in the GTP-U entity.

We currently do not match or filter on the peer GSN source IP. That should
IMHO remain the default. Adding a per PDP context flag to filter on the
peer GSN address should be relatively simple.
