From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 12:35:40 +0100 From: Rafael Vuijk To: Alexander Aring , Jukka Rissanen Cc: linux-wpan@vger.kernel.org, linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] ieee802154: assembly of 6LoWPAN fragments improvement Message-ID: <20180221113540.GA54319@Rafael-Mac.intra.sownet.nl> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, We have tested the 6LoWPAN modules in the Linux kernel and came to some issue regarding fragmentation. We have seen aborted SCP transfers ("message authentication code incorrect") and tested TCP transfers as well and saw corruption on fragment-sized intervals. The current fragment assembling functions do not check enough for corrupted L2 packets that might slip through L2 CRC check. (in our case IEEE802.15.4 which has only 16-bit CRC). As a result, overlapping fragments due to offset corruption are not detected and assembled incorrectly. Part of packets may have old data. At TCP-level, there is only a simple TCP-checksum which is not enough in this case as the corruption occurs frequently (once every few minutes). After quickly analysing the code we saw some potential issues and created a patch that adds additional overlap checks and simplifies some conditional statements. After running tests again, TCP corruption was not seen again. The test was performed with SCP and keeps transferring large files now without error.
