Currently IPv6 fragmented packets are not forwarded on an ethernet bridge
with netfilter ip6_tables loaded. e.g. steps to reproduce
1) create a simple bridge like this
modprobe br_netfilter
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth2
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth2 up
ifconfig br0 up
2) place a host with an IPv6 address on each side of the bridge
set IPv6 address on host A:
ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::1/64 dev eth0
set IPv6 address on host B:
ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::2/64 dev eth0
3) run a simple ping command on host A with packets > MTU
ping6 -s 4000 fd01:2345:6789:1::2
4) wait some time and run e.g. "ip6tables -t nat -nvL" on the bridge
IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge cleanly until "iptables -t nat -nvL"
is run. As soon as it is run (and netfilter modules are loaded) IPv6 fragmented
packets do not traverse the bridge any more (you see no more responses in ping's
output).
Patch exports ip6_fragment() in include/net/ipv6.h and net/ipv6/ip6_output.c
to use it in net/bridge/br_netfilter.c's br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() for IPv6 packets
that need to be fragmented.
In net/bridge/br_netfilter.c br_nf_pre_routing_finish_ipv6() is changed to keep
track of fragment size and br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() checks for IPv6 packets that
need to be fragmented. br_parse_ip6_options() was introduced to do some validity
checks on the IPv6 packet before calling ip6_fragment() and was closely aligned
to IPv4 code as an example.
br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() is changed to contain the relevant code depending on
CONFIG_NF_DEFRAG_IPV4 or CONFIG_NF_DEFRAG_IPV6 being used both or each for
their own.
ip6_fragment() in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c was changed due to a NULL pointer de-
reference happening when handling packets coming from br_nf_dev_queue_xmit().
When calling IP6_INC_STATS(), ip6_dst_idev(skb_dst(skb)) did crash the kernel
like this:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000037a
IP: [<ffffffff814cba2a>] ip6_fragment+0x99a/0x1290
PGD 3bc3f067 PUD 3bc12067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
...
So in6_dev_get(skb->dev) is used to set a variable "idev" which is used to call
IP6_INC_STATS() later on. It is assumed that this also solves other occasions
where ip6_fragment() will be called that may cause the same crash. However,
a better fix would be to check for the missing element causing the NULL pointer
dereference and only setting it when it is missing.
ip6_fragment() is further changed to use nf_bridge_mtu_reduction(skb) as it is
done in the IPv4 code.
After applying this patch, in the same setup as stated above fragmented IPv6
packets traverse the bridge even after running "ip6tables -t nat -nvL" / net-
filter modules loaded. This was tested using overlong IPv6 ICMP ping packets
as described above.
Some tests were performed crafting invalid headers (e.g. ipv6 version field
set to 5) to test checks in br_parse_ip6_options(), however these packets do
not seem to reach changed code parts and seem to be dropped at an earlier
stage (more testing needed with invalid / fuzzed packets).
