[ Upstream commit c4a14f6d9d17ad1e41a36182dd3b8a5fd91efbd7 ]
Regression Description:
Depending on the options specified for the GRE tunnel device, small
packets may be dropped. This occurs because the pskb_network_may_pull
function fails due to the packet's insufficient length.
For example, if only the okey option is specified for the tunnel device,
original (before encapsulation) packets smaller than 28 bytes (including
the IPv4 header) will be dropped. This happens because the required
length is calculated relative to the network header, not the skb->head.
Here is how the required length is computed and checked:
* The pull_len variable is set to 28 bytes, consisting of:
* IPv4 header: 20 bytes
* GRE header with Key field: 8 bytes
* The pskb_network_may_pull function adds the network offset, shifting
the checkable space further to the beginning of the network header and
extending it to the beginning of the packet. As a result, the end of
the checkable space occurs beyond the actual end of the packet.
Instead of ensuring that 28 bytes are present in skb->head, the function
is requesting these 28 bytes starting from the network header. For small
packets, this requested length exceeds the actual packet size, causing
the check to fail and the packets to be dropped.
This issue affects both locally originated and forwarded packets in
DMVPN-like setups.
How to reproduce (for local originated packets):
ip link add dev gre1 type gre ikey 1.9.8.4 okey 1.9.8.4 \
local <your-ip> remote 0.0.0.0
ip link set mtu 1400 dev gre1
ip link set up dev gre1
ip address add 192.168.13.1/24 dev gre1
ip neighbor add 192.168.13.2 lladdr <remote-ip> dev gre1
ping -s 1374 -c 10 192.168.13.2
tcpdump -vni gre1
tcpdump -vni <your-ext-iface> 'ip proto 47'
ip -s -s -d link show dev gre1
Solution:
Use the pskb_may_pull function instead the pskb_network_may_pull.
