[ Upstream commit 369609fc6272c2f6ad666ba4fd913f3baf32908f ]
The tfilter_notify() and tfilter_del_notify() functions assume that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is always enough to dump the filter chain. This is not always the case, which can lead to silent notify failures (because the return code of tfilter_notify() is not always checked). In particular, this can lead to NLM_F_ECHO not being honoured even though an action succeeds, which forces userspace to create workarounds[0].
Fix this by increasing the message size if dumping the filter chain into the allocated skb fails. Use the size of the incoming skb as a size hint if set, so we can start at a larger value when appropriate.
To trigger this, run the following commands:
# ip link add type veth # tc qdisc replace dev veth0 root handle 1: fq_codel # tc -echo filter add dev veth0 parent 1: u32 match u32 0 0 $(for i in $(seq 32); do echo action pedit munge ip dport set 22; done)
Before this fix, tc just returns:
Not a filter(cmd 2)
After the fix, we get the correct echo:
added filter dev veth0 parent 1: protocol all pref 49152 u32 chain 0 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 terminal flowid not_in_hw match 00000000/00000000 at 0 action order 1: pedit action pass keys 1 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 key #0 at 20: val 00000016 mask ffff0000 [repeated 32 times]
