net/mlx5e: Do not increment ESN when updating IPsec ESN state
[ Upstream commit 888be6b279b7257b5f6e4c9527675bff0a335596 ]
An offloaded SA stops receiving after about 2^32 + replay_window
packets. For example, when SA reaches <seq-hi 0x1, seq 0x2c>, all
subsequent packets get dropped with SA-icv-failure (integrity_failed).
To reproduce the bug:
- ConnectX-6 Dx with crypto enabled (FW 22.30.1004)
- ipsec.conf:
nic-offload = yes
replay-window = 32
esn = yes
salifetime=24h
- Run netperf for a long time to send more than 2^32 packets
netperf -H <device-under-test> -t TCP_STREAM -l 20000
When 2^32 + replay_window packets are received, the replay window
moves from the 2nd half of subspace (overlap=1) to the 1st half
(overlap=0). The driver then updates the 'esn' value in NIC
(i.e. seq_hi) as follows.
seq_hi = xfrm_replay_seqhi(seq_bottom)
new esn in NIC = seq_hi + 1
The +1 increment is wrong, as seq_hi already contains the correct
seq_hi. For example, when seq_hi=1, the driver actually tells NIC to
use seq_hi=2 (esn). This incorrect esn value causes all subsequent
packets to fail integrity checks (SA-icv-failure). So, do not
increment.
