2018-08-24netfilter: xt_checksum: ignore gso skbsFlorian Westphal
Satish Patel reports a skb_warn_bad_offload() splat caused by -j CHECKSUM rules: -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j CHECKSUM The CHECKSUM target has never worked with GSO skbs, and the above rule makes no sense as kernel will handle checksum updates on transmit. Unfortunately, there are 3rd party tools that install such rules, so we cannot reject this from the config plane without potential breakage. Amend Kconfig text to clarify that the CHECKSUM target is only useful in virtualized environments, where old dhcp clients that use AF_PACKET used to discard UDP packets with a 'bad' header checksum and add a one-time warning in case such rule isn't restricted to UDP. v2: check IP6T_F_PROTO flag before cmp (Michal Kubecek) Reported-by: Satish Patel <satish.txt@gmail.com> Reported-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@suse.com> Reported-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2018-02-14netfilter: x_tables: remove pr_info where possibleFlorian Westphal
remove several pr_info messages that cannot be triggered with iptables, the check is only to ensure input is sane. iptables(8) already prints error messages in these cases. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2010-07-15netfilter: add CHECKSUM targetMichael S. Tsirkin
This adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle table. You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in a packet that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients, that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to disable checksum offload in your device. The problem happens in the field with virtualized applications. For reference, see Red Hat bz 605555, as well as http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg37660.html Typical expected use (helps old dhclient binary running in a VM): iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc \ -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill Includes fixes by Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
