Aaron Conole 343cc7225d openvswitch: Set the skbuff pkt_type for proper pmtud support.
[ Upstream commit 30a92c9e3d6b073932762bef2ac66f4ee784c657 ]

Open vSwitch is originally intended to switch at layer 2, only dealing with
Ethernet frames.  With the introduction of l3 tunnels support, it crossed
into the realm of needing to care a bit about some routing details when
making forwarding decisions.  If an oversized packet would need to be
fragmented during this forwarding decision, there is a chance for pmtu
to get involved and generate a routing exception.  This is gated by the
skbuff->pkt_type field.

When a flow is already loaded into the openvswitch module this field is
set up and transitioned properly as a packet moves from one port to
another.  In the case that a packet execute is invoked after a flow is
newly installed this field is not properly initialized.  This causes the
pmtud mechanism to omit sending the required exception messages across
the tunnel boundary and a second attempt needs to be made to make sure
that the routing exception is properly setup.  To fix this, we set the
outgoing packet's pkt_type to PACKET_OUTGOING, since it can only get
to the openvswitch module via a port device or packet command.

Even for bridge ports as users, the pkt_type needs to be reset when
doing the transmit as the packet is truly outgoing and routing needs
to get involved post packet transformations, in the case of
VXLAN/GENEVE/udp-tunnel packets.  In general, the pkt_type on output
gets ignored, since we go straight to the driver, but in the case of
tunnel ports they go through IP routing layer.

This issue is periodically encountered in complex setups, such as large
openshift deployments, where multiple sets of tunnel traversal occurs.
A way to recreate this is with the ovn-heater project that can setup
a networking environment which mimics such large deployments.  We need
larger environments for this because we need to ensure that flow
misses occur.  In these environment, without this patch, we can see:

  ./ovn_cluster.sh start
  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip r a 170.168.0.5/32 dev eth1 mtu 1200
  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip netns exec sw01p1 ip r flush cache
  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip netns exec sw01p1 \
         ping 21.0.0.3 -M do -s 1300 -c2
  PING 21.0.0.3 (21.0.0.3) 1300(1328) bytes of data.
  From 21.0.0.3 icmp_seq=2 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 1142)

  --- 21.0.0.3 ping statistics ---
  ...

Using tcpdump, we can also see the expected ICMP FRAG_NEEDED message is not
sent into the server.

With this patch, setting the pkt_type, we see the following:

  podman exec ovn-chassis-1 ip netns exec sw01p1 \
         ping 21.0.0.3 -M do -s 1300 -c2
  PING 21.0.0.3 (21.0.0.3) 1300(1328) bytes of data.
  From 21.0.0.3 icmp_seq=1 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 1222)
  ping: local error: message too long, mtu=1222

  --- 21.0.0.3 ping statistics ---
  ...

In this case, the first ping request receives the FRAG_NEEDED message and
a local routing exception is created.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
  • then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream
