3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> commit 6443ebc3fdd6f3c766d9442c18be274b3d736050 upstream. Currently, we check the existing rtable in PREROUTING hook, if RTCF_LOCAL is set, we assume that the packet is loopback. But this assumption is incorrect, for example, a packet encapsulated in ipsec transport mode was received and routed to local, after decapsulation, it would be delivered to local again, and the rtable was not dropped, so RTCF_LOCAL check would trigger. But actually, the packet was not loopback. So for these normal loopback packets, we can check whether the in device is IFF_LOOPBACK or not. For these locally generated broadcast/multicast, we can check whether the skb->pkt_type is PACKET_LOOPBACK or not. Finally, there's a subtle difference between nft fib expr and xtables rpfilter extension, user can add the following nft rule to do strict rpfilter check: # nft add rule x y meta iif eth0 fib saddr . iif oif != eth0 drop So when the packet is loopback, it's better to store the in device instead of the LOOPBACK_IFINDEX, otherwise, after adding the above nft rule, locally generated broad/multicast packets will be dropped incorrectly.
