* ixgbe: driver drops packets routed from an IPSec interface with a "bad sa_idx" error @ 2019-09-06 18:13 Michael Marley 2019-09-09 18:21 ` Shannon Nelson 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Michael Marley @ 2019-09-06 18:13 UTC (permalink / raw) To: netdev (This is also reported at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204551, but it was recommended that I send it to this list as well.) I have a put together a router that routes traffic from several local subnets from a switch attached to an i82599ES card through an IPSec VPN interface set up with StrongSwan. (The VPN is running on an unrelated second interface with a different driver.) Traffic from the local interfaces to the VPN works as it should and eventually makes it through the VPN server and out to the Internet. The return traffic makes it back to the router and tcpdump shows it leaving by the i82599, but the traffic never actually makes it onto the wire and I instead get one of enp1s0: ixgbe_ipsec_tx: bad sa_idx=64512 handle=0 for each packet that should be transmitted. (The sa_idx and handle values are always the same.) I realized this was probably related to ixgbe's IPSec offloading feature, so I tried with the motherboard's integrated e1000e device and didn't have the problem. I tried using ethtool to disable all the IPSec-related offloads (tx-esp-segmentation, esp-hw-offload, esp-tx-csum-hw-offload), but the problem persisted. I then tried recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_IXGBE_IPSEC=n and that worked around the problem. I was also able to find another instance of the same problem reported in Debian at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930443. That person seems to be having exactly the same issue as me, down to the sa_idx and handle values being the same.

The issue this error message is complaining about is that the handle given to the driver is a bad value. The handle is what helps the driver find the right encryption information, and in this case is an index into an array, one array for Rx and one for Tx, each of which have up to 1024 entries. In order to encode them into a single value, 1024 is added to the Tx values to make the handle, and 1024 is subtracted to use the handle later. Note that the bad sa_idx is 64512, which happens to also be -1024; if the Tx handle given to ixgbe for xmit is 0, we subtract 1024 from that and get this bad sa_idx value. That handle is supposed to be an opaque value only used by the driver. It looks to me like either (a) the driver is not setting up the handle correctly when the SA is first set up, or (b) something in the upper levels of the ipsec code is clearing the handle value. We would need to know more about all the bits in your SA set up to have a better idea what parts of the ipsec code are being exercised when this problem happens. I currently don't have access to a good ixgbe setup on which to test/debug this, and I haven't been paying much attention lately to what's happening in the upper ipsec layers, so my help will be somewhat limited. I'm hoping the the Intel folks can add a little help, so I've copied Jeff Kirsher on this (they'll probably point back to me since I wrote this chunk :-) ). I've also copied Stephen Klassert for his ipsec thoughts. In the meantime, can you give more details on the exact ipsec rules that are used here, and are there any error messages coming from ixgbe regarding the ipsec rule setup that might help us identify what's happening?

I apologize, I am a bit of a newbie to IPSec myself, so I'm not 100% sure what is the best way to provide the information you need, but here is the (slightly-redacted) output of swanctl --list-sas first from the server and then from the client: <servername>: #24, ESTABLISHED, IKEv2, 3cb75c180ee5dc68_i cc7dae551b603bb7_r* local '<serverip>' @ <serverip>[4500] remote '<clientip>' @ <clientip>[4500] AES_GCM_16-256/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_512/ECP_384 established 174180s ago <servername>: #110, reqid 12, INSTALLED, TUNNEL-in-UDP, ESP:AES_GCM_16-256/ECP_384 installed 469s ago in c51a0f11 (-|0x00000064), 1548864 bytes, 19575 packets, 6s ago out c3bd9741 (-|0x00000064), 23618807 bytes, 22865 packets, 7s ago local 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 remote 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 <clientname>: #1, ESTABLISHED, IKEv2, 3cb75c180ee5dc68_i* cc7dae551b603bb7_r local '<clientip>' @ <clientip>[4500] remote '<serverip>' @ <serverip>[4500] AES_GCM_16-256/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_512/ECP_384 established 174013s ago <clientname>: #54, reqid 1, INSTALLED, TUNNEL-in-UDP, ESP:AES_GCM_16-256/ECP_384 installed 303s ago, rekeying in 2979s, expires in 3657s in c3bd9741 (-|0x00000064), 23178523 bytes, 20725 packets, 0s ago out c51a0f11 (-|0x00000064), 1429124 bytes, 17719 packets, 0s ago local 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 remote 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 It might also be worth mentioning that I am using an xfrm interface to do "regular" routing rather than the policy-based routing that StrongSwan/IPSec normally uses. If there is anything else that would help more, I would be happy to provide it. Just to be clear though, I'm not trying to run IPSec on the ixgbe interface at all. The ixgbe adapter is being used to connect the router to the switch on the LAN side of the network. IPSec is running on the WAN interface without any hardware acceleration (besides AES-NI). The problem occurs when a computer on the LAN tries to access the WAN. The outgoing packets work as expected and the incoming packets are routed back out through the ixgbe device toward the LAN client, but the driver drops the packets with the sa_idx error. I hope this helps. Thanks, Michael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I would suggest turning it off to at least get you passed the immediate issue. If there isn't an obvious configuration knob in StrongSwan, perhaps you can at least use ethtool to disable the offload, which should be off be default anyway. You can check it with "ethtool -k ethX | grep esp-hw-offload" and see if it is set. You can disable it with "ethtool -K ethX esp-hw-offload off" Meanwhile, can you please send the output of the following commands: uname -a ip xfrm s ip xfrm p dmesg | grep ixgbe And any other /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages that look suspicious and might give any more insight to what's happening.

I also already tried turning off all those switches with ethtool and it has no effect. This doesn't surprise me though, because as I said, I don't actually have the IPSec connection running over the ixgbe device. The IPSec connection runs over another network adapter that doesn't support IPSec offload at all. The problem comes when traffic received over the IPSec interface is then routed back out (unencrypted) through the ixgbe device into the local network.

Seems like the ixgbe driver tries to use the sec_path from RX to setup an offload at the TX side.
