gre_parse_header() returns -EINVAL for every failure and its receive
callers turn that into a plain kfree_skb(). The only detail they could
get so far was the csum_err flag, which none of them actually reads:
both ip_gre and ip6_gre declare it, pass it in and then ignore it.
Make gre_parse_header() return the drop reason instead, with
SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET for a valid header, and let the two receive paths
report it. The header length it used to return is already stored in
tpi->hdr_len, so the callers take it from there. The reasons are:
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TUNNEL_INVALID_HDR, for a header carrying an
unsupported version or the routing bit; its description gets a GRE
example,
- SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_CSUM, a new reason for a checksum error, like the
existing TCP_CSUM, UDP_CSUM, ICMP_CSUM and IP_CSUM,
- the reason pskb_may_pull_reason() returns when the header cannot be
pulled: SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_SMALL for a short packet and
SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM for an allocation failure. The byte that tells
WCCPv1 from WCCPv2 is read with skb_header_pointer() instead, which
only fails on a short packet, so that check returns
SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_SMALL.
gre_rcv() in the demux reports SKB_DROP_REASON_TUNNEL_INVALID_HDR for a
version it cannot dispatch at all, as gre_parse_header() does for a
nonzero version in ip6_gre, which does not go through the demux. A
valid version whose handler is not registered, such as PPTP, is
reported as SKB_DROP_REASON_UNHANDLED_PROTO.
csum_err had a second use: the ICMP error handlers pass NULL for it, so
that a checksum failure does not reject the header and the rest of it is
still parsed, as they only get a part of the original packet. That came
with commit b0350d51f001 ("ip_gre: fix parsing gre header in ipgre_err")
and becomes an explicit ignore_csum_err argument. The checksum is
still computed either way. As the function is exported, the comment
above it becomes a kernel-doc comment, which describes the argument.
Tunnel lookup failures and the other drops of the receive handlers
still report SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED at this point; the following
patches convert them.
The reason follows the rule of ip_tunnel_rcv(). gre_rcv() of the demux
and of ip6_gre sets it in its first statement, so it is not initialized
there; ip_gre's gre_rcv() initializes it, which its looped back
multicast check relies on, as it drops before the header is parsed. All
three store the result of a helper in the reason, so their drop labels
fall back to SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED.
