[ Upstream commit 2ab957492d13bb819400ac29ae55911d50a82a13 ]

Initial discussion was:
[FYI] xfrm: Don't lookup sk_policy for timewait sockets

Forwarded frames should not have a socket attached. Especially
tw sockets will lead to panics later-on in the stack.

This was observed with TPROXY assigning a tw socket and broken
policy routing (misconfigured). As a result frame enters
forwarding path instead of input. We cannot solve this in
TPROXY as it cannot know that policy routing is broken.

v2:

This reverts commit caa5344994778a2b4725b2d75c74430f76925e4a, which
was commit fe6cc55f3a9a053482a76f5a6b2257cee51b4663 upstream.  In 3.2,
the transport header length is not calculated in the forwarding path,
so skb_gso_network_seglen() returns an incorrect result.  We also have
problems due to the local_df flag not being set correctly.

[ Upstream commit ca6c5d4ad216d5942ae544bbf02503041bd802aa ]

local_df means 'ignore DF bit if set', so if its set we're
allowed to perform ip fragmentation.

This wasn't noticed earlier because the output path also drops such skbs
(and emits needed icmp error) and because netfilter ip defrag did not
set local_df until couple of days ago.

Only difference is that DF-packets-larger-than MTU now discarded
earlier (f.e. we avoid pointless netfilter postrouting trip).

While at it, drop the repeated test ip_exceeds_mtu, checking it once
is enough...

commit fe6cc55f3a9a053482a76f5a6b2257cee51b4663 upstream.

[ use zero netdev_feature mask to avoid backport of
  netif_skb_dev_features function ]

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path
has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO.

Given:
Host &lt;mtu1500&gt; R1 &lt;mtu1200&gt; R2

Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2.  R1 performs GRO.

In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed
messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu
checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding
the mtu.

When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does
not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out
packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu.

This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso
segment lengths into account.

For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual
segments are too big.

For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit
is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path
create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine.
It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of
the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to
work fine in my (limited) tests.

Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via -&gt;gso_size to avoid
sofware segmentation.

However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related
to mss size so we would BUG there.  I don't want to mess with it considering
Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be.

Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size
skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where
SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded.

This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4
non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small.  Its not perfect,
but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a
rare case anyway.  Also its not like this could not be improved later
once the dust settles.

We can not update iph-&gt;daddr in ip_options_rcv_srr(), It is too early.
When some exception ocurred later (eg. in ip_forward() when goto
sr_failed) we need the ip header be identical to the original one as
ICMP need it.

Add a field 'nexthop' in struct ip_options to save nexthop of LSRR
or SSRR option.

No matter what kind of header mangling occurs due to IP options
processing, rt-&gt;rt_dst will always equal iph-&gt;daddr in the packet.

So we can safely use iph-&gt;daddr instead of rt-&gt;rt_dst here.
