    ipv6: datagram: Update dst cache of a connected datagram sk during pmtu update · 33c162a9
    Martin KaFai Lau authored
    There is a case in connected UDP socket such that
    getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) will return a stale MTU value. The reproducible
    sequence could be the following:
    1. Create a connected UDP socket
    2. Send some datagrams out
    3. Receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG
    4. No new outgoing datagrams to trigger the sk_dst_check()
       logic to update the sk->sk_dst_cache.
    5. getsockopt(IPV6_MTU) returns the mtu from the invalid
       sk->sk_dst_cache instead of the newly created RTF_CACHE clone.
    
    This patch updates the sk->sk_dst_cache for a connected datagram sk
    during pmtu-update code path.
    
    Note that the sk->sk_v6_daddr is used to do the route lookup
    instead of skb->data (i.e. iph).  It is because a UDP socket can become
    connected after sending out some datagrams in un-connected state.  or
    It can be connected multiple times to different destinations.  Hence,
    iph may not be related to where sk is currently connected to.
    
    It is done under '!sock_owned_by_user(sk)' condition because
    the user may make another ip6_datagram_connect()  (i.e changing
    the sk->sk_v6_daddr) while dst lookup is happening in the pmtu-update
    code path.
    
    For the sock_owned_by_user(sk) == true case, the next patch will
    introduce a release_cb() which will update the sk->sk_dst_cache.
    
    Test:
    
    Server (Connected UDP Socket):
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Route Details:
    [root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# ip -6 r show | egrep '2fac'
    2fac::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    2fac:face::/64 via 2fac::face dev eth0  metric 1024  pref medium
    
    A simple python code to create a connected UDP socket:
    
    import socket
    import errno
    
    HOST = '2fac::1'
    PORT = 8080
    
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    s.bind((HOST, PORT))
    s.connect(('2fac:face::face', 53))
    print("connected")
    while True:
        try:
    	data = s.recv(1024)
        except socket.error as se:
    	if se.errno == errno.EMSGSIZE:
    		pmtu = s.getsockopt(41, 24)
    		print("PMTU:%d" % pmtu)
    		break
    s.close()
    
    Python program output after getting a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG:
    [root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# python2 ~/devshare/kernel/tasks/fib6/udp-connect-53-8080.py
    connected
    PMTU:1300
    
    Cache routes after recieving TOOBIG:
    [root@arch-fb-vm1 ~]# ip -6 r show table cache
    2fac:face::face via 2fac::face dev eth0  metric 0
        cache  expires 463sec mtu 1300 pref medium
    
    Client (Send the ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG):
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    scapy is used to generate the TOOBIG message.  Here is the scapy script I have
    used:
    
    >>> p=Ether(src='da:75:4d:36:ac:32', dst='52:54:00:12:34:66', type=0x86dd)/IPv6(src='2fac::face', dst='2fac::1')/ICMPv6PacketTooBig(mtu=1300)/IPv6(src='2fac::
    1',dst='2fac:face::face', nh='UDP')/UDP(sport=8080,dport=53)
    >>> sendp(p, iface='qemubr0')
