ip_gre, ip6_gre: Fix race condition on o_seqno in collect_md mode
As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, currently using TUNNEL_SEQ in
collect_md mode is racy for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices. Consider the
following sequence of events:
1. An [IP6]GRE[TAP] device is created in collect_md mode using "ip link
add ... external". "ip" ignores "[o]seq" if "external" is specified,
so TUNNEL_SEQ is off, and the device is marked as NETIF_F_LLTX (i.e.
it uses lockless TX);
2. Someone sets TUNNEL_SEQ on outgoing skb's, using e.g.
bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key() in an eBPF program attached to this device;
3. gre_fb_xmit() or __gre6_xmit() processes these skb's:
gre_build_header(skb, tun_hlen,
flags, protocol,
tunnel_id_to_key32(tun_info->key.tun_id),
(flags & TUNNEL_SEQ) ? htonl(tunnel->o_seqno++)
: 0); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since we are not using the TX lock (&txq->_xmit_lock), multiple CPUs may
try to do this tunnel->o_seqno++ in parallel, which is racy. Fix it by
making o_seqno atomic_t.
As mentioned by Eric Dumazet in commit b790e01aee74 ("ip_gre: lockless
xmit"), making o_seqno atomic_t increases "chance for packets being out
of order at receiver" when NETIF_F_LLTX is on.
Maybe a better fix would be:
1. Do not ignore "oseq" in external mode. Users MUST specify "oseq" if
they want the kernel to allow sequencing of outgoing packets;
2. Reject all outgoing TUNNEL_SEQ packets if the device was not created
with "oseq".
Unfortunately, that would break userspace.
We could now make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX, but let us
do it in separate patches to keep this fix minimal.
