GSO expects inner transport header offset to be valid when
skb->encapsulation flag is set. GSO uses this value to calculate the length
of an individual segment of a GSO packet in skb_gso_transport_seglen().
However, tcp/udp gro_complete callbacks don't update the
skb->inner_transport_header when processing an encapsulated TCP/UDP
segment. As a result a GRO skb has ->inner_transport_header set to a value
carried over from earlier skb processing.
This can have mild to tragic consequences. From miscalculating the GSO
segment length to triggering a page fault [1], when trying to read TCP/UDP
header at an address past the skb->data page.
The latter scenario leads to an oops report like so:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff9fa7ec00d008

The bug can be observed in a simple setup where we send IP/GRE/IP/TCP
packets into a netns over a veth pair. Inside the netns, packets are
forwarded to dummy device:
trafgen -> [veth A]--[veth B] -forward-> [dummy]
For veth B to GRO aggregate packets on receive, it needs to have an XDP
program attached (for example, a trivial XDP_PASS). Additionally, for UDP,
we need to enable GSO_UDP_L4 feature on the device:
ip netns exec A ethtool -K AB rx-udp-gro-forwarding on
The last component is an artificial delay to increase the chances of GRO
batching happening:
ip netns exec A tc qdisc add dev AB root \
netem delay 200us slot 5ms 10ms packets 2 bytes 64k
With such a setup in place, the bug can be observed by tracing the skb
outer and inner offsets when GSO skb is transmitted from the dummy device:
tcp:
FUNC DEV SKB_LEN NH TH ENC INH ITH GSO_SIZE GSO_TYPE
ip_finish_output dumB 2830 270 290 1 294 254 1383 (tcpv4,gre,)
^^^
udp:
FUNC DEV SKB_LEN NH TH ENC INH ITH GSO_SIZE GSO_TYPE
ip_finish_output dumB 2818 270 290 1 294 254 1383 (gre,udp_l4,)
^^^
Fix it by updating the inner transport header offset in tcp/udp
gro_complete callbacks, similar to how {inet,ipv6}_gro_complete callbacks
update the inner network header offset, when skb->encapsulation flag is
set.
