[PATCH v2] AF_PACKET doesnt strip VLAN information

[PATCH v2] AF_PACKET doesnt strip VLAN information

[Sriram Krishnan]

When an application sends with AF_PACKET and places a vlan header on
the raw packet; then the AF_PACKET needs to move the tag into the skb
so that it gets processed normally through the rest of the transmit
path.

This is particularly a problem on Hyper-V where the host only allows
vlan in the offload info.

Shouldn't this be resolved in that driver, then?

Packet sockets are not the only way to introduce packets in the
kernel. Tuntap would be another.

Please use plain text to respond. HTML replies do not reach the list.

Can you be more precise in which other code besides the hyper-v driver
is affected? Do you have an example?

This is a resubmit of the original patch. My previous
questions/concerns remain valid:

- if the function can now fail, all callers must be updated to detect
and handle that

- any solution should probably address all inputs into the tx path:
packet sockets, tuntap, virtio-net

- this only addresses packet sockets with ETH_P_ALL/ETH_P_NONE. Not
sockets that set ETH_P_8021Q

- which code in the transmit stack requires the tag to be in the skb,
and does this problem after this patch still persist for Q-in-Q?

Re: [PATCH v2] AF_PACKET doesnt strip VLAN information

[Sriram Krishnan (srirakr2)]

I have moved the code to the driver and pushed a new patch due to the below highlighted issues.

Stephen H,
Please let me know if you have any concerns localising the changes to the netvsc driver.


Thanks,
Sriram

It matters because the problem is generic, not just to the netvsc driver.
For example, BPF programs and netfilter rules will see different packets
when send is through AF_PACKET than they would see for sends from the
kernel stack.

Presenting uniform data to the lower layers makes sense.

Are all forwarded and locally generated packets guaranteed to always
have VLAN information in the tag (so that this is indeed only an issue
with input from userspace, through tuntap, virtio and packet sockets)?

I guess the first might be assured due to this in __netif_receive_skb_core:

        if (skb->protocol == cpu_to_be16(ETH_P_8021Q) ||
            skb->protocol == cpu_to_be16(ETH_P_8021AD)) {
                skb = skb_vlan_untag(skb);
                if (unlikely(!skb))
                        goto out;
        }

and the second by this in vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit:

        if (veth->h_vlan_proto != vlan->vlan_proto ||
            vlan->flags & VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR) {
                u16 vlan_tci;
                vlan_tci = vlan->vlan_id;
                vlan_tci |= vlan_dev_get_egress_qos_mask(dev, skb->priority);
                __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan->vlan_proto, vlan_tci);
        }

But I don't know this code very well, so that is based on a very
cursory glance only. Might well be missing other paths. (update: I
think pktgen is another example.)

Netfilter and BPF still need to handle tags in the packet for Q-in-Q,
right? So does this actually simplify their logic?

If the above holds and Q-in-Q is not a problem, then doing the same on
ingress from userspace may make sense. I don't know the kind of BPF
or netfilter programs what would be affected, and how.

Then it would be good to all those inputs at once to really plug the hole.
See also virtio_net_hdr_to_skb for another example of code that
applies to all of tuntap, virtio, pf_packet and uml.

Older versions of Linux used to handle outer VLAN differentl
based on what the driver supported. It was a mess.
Some drivers and code paths would strip and put in meta-data, some
would leave it in skb data. But in recent (like 5 yrs), the kernel
has tried to be more uniform and only have vlan as skb tag.
It looks like AF_PACKET was overlooked at that time.

The issue here is that for hyperv, vlan offloading is not a "may" but
a "must" and I've never understood it to have that meaning.

And I still haven't heard what is going to happen in Q-in-Q situations
even with the ugly hyperv driver hack that is currently under review.
