Avoid creating input routes with ip_route_me_harder. It does not work for locally generated packets. Instead, restrict sockets to provide valid saddr for output route (or unicast saddr for transparent proxy). For other traffic allow saddr to be unicast or local but if callers forget to check saddr type use 0 for the output route. The resulting handling should be: - REJECT TCP: - in INPUT we can provide addr_type = RTN_LOCAL but better allow rejecting traffic delivered with local route (no IP address => use RTN_UNSPEC to allow also RTN_UNICAST). - FORWARD: RTN_UNSPEC => allow RTN_LOCAL/RTN_UNICAST saddr, add fix to ignore RTN_BROADCAST and RTN_MULTICAST - OUTPUT: RTN_UNSPEC - NAT, mangle, ip_queue, nf_ip_reroute: RTN_UNSPEC in LOCAL_OUT - IPVS: - use RTN_LOCAL in LOCAL_OUT and FORWARD after SNAT to restrict saddr to be local Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-27ipv4: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problemSteffen Klassert1-5/+5
ip_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path). On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr handling to this.

Git commit 59104f06 (ip: take care of last fragment in ip_append_data) added a check to see if we exceed the mtu when we add trailer_len. However, the mtu is already subtracted by the trailer length when the xfrm transfomation bundles are set up. So IPsec packets with mtu size get fragmented, or if the DF bit is set the packets will not be send even though they match the mtu perfectly fine. This patch actually reverts commit 59104f06.

2011-06-21udp/recvmsg: Clear MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packetXufeng Zhang1-0/+3
Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags. However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong.

2011-06-16netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handlingNicolas Cavallari1-1/+2
By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the process. These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue, netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP header instead. This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header if there is none in the packet.
