net: force refragmentation for DF reassembed skbs
output path tests:
if (skb->len > mtu) ip_fragment()
This breaks connectivity in one corner case:
If the skb was reassembled, but has the DF bit set and ..
.. its reassembled size is <= outdev mtu ..
.. we will forward a DF packet larger than what the sender
transmitted on wire.
If a router later in the path can't forward this packet, it will send an
icmp error in response to an mtu that the original sender never exceeded.
This changes ipv4 defrag/output path to
a) force refragmentation for DF reassembled skbs and
b) set DF bit on all fragments when refragmenting if it was set on original
frags.
tested via:
from scapy.all import *
dip="10.23.42.2"
payload="A"*1400
packet=IP(dst=dip,id=12345,flags='DF')/UDP(sport=42,dport=42)/payload
frags=fragment(packet,fragsize=1200)
for fragment in frags:
send(fragment)
Without this patch, we generate fragments without df bit set based
on the outgoing device mtu when fragmenting after forwarding, ie.
IP (ttl 64, id 12345, offset 0, flags [+, DF], proto UDP (17), length 1204)
192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: UDP, length 1400
IP (ttl 64, id 12345, offset 1184, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 244)
192.168.7.1 > 10.23.42.2: ip-proto-17
on ingress will either turn into
IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 0, flags [+], proto UDP (17), length 1396)
192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: UDP, length 1400
IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 1376, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 52)
(mtu 1400: We strip df and send larger fragment), or
IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 1428)
192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 1400
if mtu is 1500. And in this case things break; router with a smaller mtu
will send icmp error, but original sender only sent packets <= 1204 byte.
With patch, we keep intent of such fragments and will emit DF-fragments
that won't exceed 1204 byte in size.
Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.
Changes since v2:
- split unrelated patches from series
- rework changelog of patch #2 to better illustrate breakage
