Both OVS and TC flower allow extracting and matching on the DF bit of the outer IP header via OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_DONT_FRAGMENT in the OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL and TCA_FLOWER_KEY_FLAGS_TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT in the TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_FLAGS respectively. Flow dissector extracts this information as FLOW_DIS_F_TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT from the tunnel info key. However, the IP_TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT_BIT in the tunnel key is never actually set, because the tunneling code doesn't actually extract it from the IP header. OAM and CRIT_OPT are extracted by the tunnel implementation code, same code also sets the KEY flag, if present. UDP tunnel core takes care of setting the CSUM flag if the checksum is present in the UDP header, but the DONT_FRAGMENT is not handled at any layer. Fix that by checking the bit and setting the corresponding flag while populating the tunnel info in the IP layer where it belongs. Not using __assign_bit as we don't really need to clear the bit in a just initialized field. It also doesn't seem like using __assign_bit will make the code look better. Clearly, users didn't rely on this functionality for anything very important until now. The reason why this doesn't break OVS logic is that it only matches on what kernel previously parsed out and if kernel consistently reports this bit as zero, OVS will only match on it to be zero, which sort of works. But it is still a bug that the uAPI reports and allows matching on the field that is not actually checked in the packet. And this is causing misleading -df reporting in OVS datapath flows, while the tunnel traffic actually has the bit set in most cases. This may also cause issues if a hardware properly implements support for tunnel flag matching as it will disagree with the implementation in a software path of TC flower. Fixes: |
