[ 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
-
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.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
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:
, orANDROID:
. - 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:
