tunnels: PMTU discovery support for directly bridged IP packets
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It's currently possible to bridge Ethernet tunnels carrying IP
packets directly to external interfaces without assigning them
addresses and routes on the bridged network itself: this is the case
for UDP tunnels bridged with a standard bridge or by Open vSwitch.

PMTU discovery is currently broken with those configurations, because
the encapsulation effectively decreases the MTU of the link, and
while we are able to account for this using PMTU discovery on the
lower layer, we don't have a way to relay ICMP or ICMPv6 messages
needed by the sender, because we don't have valid routes to it.

On the other hand, as a tunnel endpoint, we can't fragment packets
as a general approach: this is for instance clearly forbidden for
VXLAN by RFC 7348, section 4.3:

   VTEPs MUST NOT fragment VXLAN packets.  Intermediate routers may
   fragment encapsulated VXLAN packets due to the larger frame size.
   The destination VTEP MAY silently discard such VXLAN fragments.

The same paragraph recommends that the MTU over the physical network
accomodates for encapsulations, but this isn't a practical option for
complex topologies, especially for typical Open vSwitch use cases.

Further, it states that:

   Other techniques like Path MTU discovery (see [RFC1191] and
   [RFC1981]) MAY be used to address this requirement as well.

Now, PMTU discovery already works for routed interfaces, we get
route exceptions created by the encapsulation device as they receive
ICMP Fragmentation Needed and ICMPv6 Packet Too Big messages, and
we already rebuild those messages with the appropriate MTU and route
them back to the sender.

Add the missing bits for bridged cases:

- checks in skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() to understand if it's appropriate
  to trigger a reply according to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2 for ICMP and
  RFC 4443 section 2.4 for ICMPv6. This function is already called by
  UDP tunnels

- a new function generating those ICMP or ICMPv6 replies. We can't
  reuse icmp_send() and icmp6_send() as we don't see the sender as a
  valid destination. This doesn't need to be generic, as we don't
  cover any other type of ICMP errors given that we only provide an
  encapsulation function to the sender

While at it, make the MTU check in skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() accurate:
we might receive GSO buffers here, and the passed headroom already
includes the inner MAC length, so we don't have to account for it
a second time (that would imply three MAC headers on the wire, but
there are just two).

This issue became visible while bridging IPv6 packets with 4500 bytes
of payload over GENEVE using IPv4 with a PMTU of 4000. Given the 50
bytes of encapsulation headroom, we would advertise MTU as 3950, and
we would reject fragmented IPv6 datagrams of 3958 bytes size on the
wire. We're exclusively dealing with network MTU here, though, so we
could get Ethernet frames up to 3964 octets in that case.

v2:
- moved skb_tunnel_check_pmtu() to ip_tunnel_core.c (David Ahern)
- split IPv4/IPv6 functions (David Ahern)
