    ipv4: Fix route lookups when handling ICMP redirects and PMTU updates · 544b4dd5
    Guillaume Nault authored
    The PMTU update and ICMP redirect helper functions initialise their fl4
    variable with either __build_flow_key() or build_sk_flow_key(). These
    initialisation functions always set ->flowi4_scope with
    RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE and might set the ECN bits of ->flowi4_tos. This is
    not a problem when the route lookup is later done via
    ip_route_output_key_hash(), which properly clears the ECN bits from
    ->flowi4_tos and initialises ->flowi4_scope based on the RTO_ONLINK
    flag. However, some helpers call fib_lookup() directly, without
    sanitising the tos and scope fields, so the route lookup can fail and,
    as a result, the ICMP redirect or PMTU update aren't taken into
    account.
    
    Fix this by extracting the ->flowi4_tos and ->flowi4_scope sanitisation
    code into ip_rt_fix_tos(), then use this function in handlers that call
    fib_lookup() directly.
    
    Note 1: We can't sanitise ->flowi4_tos and ->flowi4_scope in a central
    place (like __build_flow_key() or flowi4_init_output()), because
    ip_route_output_key_hash() expects non-sanitised values. When called
    with sanitised values, it can erroneously overwrite RT_SCOPE_LINK with
    RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE in ->flowi4_scope. Therefore we have to be careful to
    sanitise the values only for those paths that don't call
    ip_route_output_key_hash().
    
    Note 2: The problem is mostly about sanitising ->flowi4_tos. Having
    ->flowi4_scope initialised with RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE instead of
    RT_SCOPE_LINK probably wasn't really a problem: sockets with the
    SOCK_LOCALROUTE flag set (those that'd result in RTO_ONLINK being set)
    normally shouldn't receive ICMP redirects or PMTU updates.
