[IPSEC]: Fix BEET output

2008-03-26T23:51:09+00:00

The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner header in the payload to be protected. This causes a crash as the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second header. The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an inner IPv4 header. This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output function touches the inner header at all. All access is now done through the protocol-independent cb structure. Two new attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length and the IPv4 option length. They're filled in by the inner mode's output function. Thanks to Joakim Koskela for finding this problem. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPSEC]: Separate inner/outer mode processing on input

[IPSEC]: Separate inner/outer mode processing on output

2008-01-28T22:53:45+00:00

With inter-family transforms the inner mode differs from the outer mode. Attempting to handle both sides from the same function means that it needs to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 which creates duplication and confusion. This patch separates the two parts on the output path so that each function deals with one family only. In particular, the functions xfrm4_extract_output/xfrm6_extract_output moves the pertinent fields from the IPv4/IPv6 IP headers into a neutral format stored in skb->cb. This is then used by the outer mode output functions to write the outer IP header. In this way the output function no longer has to know about the inner address family. Since the extract functions are only called by tunnel modes (the only modes that can support inter-family transforms), I've also moved the xfrm*_tunnel_check_size calls into them. This allows the correct ICMP message to be sent as opposed to now where you might call icmp_send with an IPv6 packet and vice versa. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checks

2007-10-18T04:31:50+00:00

Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack like tunnel mode does. Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode this is incorrect. This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet back into the stack. It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode. I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

[IPSEC]: Move IP length/checksum setting out of transforms

2007-10-10T23:55:56+00:00

This patch moves the setting of the IP length and checksum fields out of the transforms and into the xfrmX_output functions. This would help future efforts in merging the transforms themselves. It also adds an optimisation to ipcomp due to the fact that the transport offset is guaranteed to be zero. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPSEC]: Use IPv6 calling convention as the convention for x->mode->output

2007-10-10T23:55:54+00:00

The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation. This patch adopts it for IPv4 as well and modifies the IPv4 type output functions accordingly. It also rewrites the IPv6 mac/transport header calculation to be based off the network header where practical. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPSEC]: Set skb->data to payload in x->mode->output

2007-10-10T23:55:54+00:00

This patch changes the calling convention so that on entry from x->mode->output and before entry into x->type->output skb->data will point to the payload instead of the IP header. This is essentially a redistribution of skb_push/skb_pull calls with the aim of minimising them on the common path of tunnel + ESP. It'll also let us use the same calling convention between IPv4 and IPv6 with the next patch. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPSEC] beet: Fix extension header support on output

2007-10-10T23:55:53+00:00

The beet output function completely kills any extension headers by replacing them with the IPv6 header. This is because it essentially ignores the result of ip6_find_1stfragopt by simply acting as if there aren't any extension headers. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPSEC]: Store IPv6 nh pointer in mac_header on output

2007-10-10T23:55:00+00:00

Current the x->mode->output functions store the IPv6 nh pointer in the skb network header. This is inconvenient because the network header then has to be fixed up before the packet can leave the IPsec stack. The mac header field is unused on output so we can use that to store this instead. This patch does that and removes the network header fix-up in xfrm_output. It also uses ipv6_hdr where appropriate in the x->type->output functions. There is also a minor clean-up in esp4 to make it use the same code as esp6 to help any subsequent effort to merge the two. Lastly it kills two redundant skb_set_* statements in BEET that were simply copied over from transport mode. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[SK_BUFF]: unions of just one member don't get anything done, kill them
