Paul Chaignon 7862131115 net: Fix checksum update for ILA adj-transport
commit 6043b794c7 upstream.

During ILA address translations, the L4 checksums can be handled in
different ways. One of them, adj-transport, consist in parsing the
transport layer and updating any found checksum. This logic relies on
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and produces an incorrect skb->csum when
in state CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.

This bug can be reproduced with a simple ILA to SIR mapping, assuming
packets are received with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE:

  $ ip a show dev eth0
  14: eth0@if15: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
      link/ether 62:ae:35:9e:0f:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
      inet6 3333:0:0:1::c078/64 scope global
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      inet6 fd00:10:244:1::c078/128 scope global nodad
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      inet6 fe80::60ae:35ff:fe9e:f8d/64 scope link proto kernel_ll
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
  $ ip ila add loc_match fd00:10:244:1 loc 3333:0:0:1 \
      csum-mode adj-transport ident-type luid dev eth0

Then I hit [fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000 with a server listening only on
[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000. With the bug, the SYN packet is dropped with
SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CSUM after inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff changed
skb->csum. The translation and drop are visible on pwru [1] traces:

  eth0:9  [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp)     kfree_skbmem

This is happening because inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff is updating
skb->csum when it shouldn't. The L4 checksum is updated such that it
"cancels" the IPv6 address change in terms of checksum computation, so
the impact on skb->csum is null.

Note this would be different for an IPv4 packet since three fields
would be updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4
checksum. Two would cancel each other and skb->csum would still need
to be updated to take the L4 checksum change into account.

This patch fixes it by passing an ipv6 flag to
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, to skip the skb->csum update if we're
in the IPv6 case. Note the behavior of the only other user of
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, the BPF subsystem, is left as is in
this patch and fixed in the subsequent patch.

With the fix, using the reproduction from above, I can confirm
skb->csum is not touched by inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and the TCP
SYN proceeds to the application after the ILA translation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
