From: Antonio Quartulli <[email protected]> ovpn_udp{4,6}_output() resolve a route from a flow key sampled from the peer binding and the transport socket, then cache the result in the per-peer dst_cache. Several of those sources may change concurrently with TX, and the dst_cache epoch (reset_ts vs the per-CPU refresh_ts stamped at get-miss time) only neutralizes the common ordering. Three issues remain: - ovpn_peer_endpoints_update() may either update bind->local in place or replace the whole bind via RCU (float -> new remote, hence new daddr/dport/oif). It already dst_cache_reset()s, but the TX path can still cache a dst it resolved with the pre-update values if its dst_cache_get-miss lands a strictly later jiffy than the reset. - inet_sk(sk)->inet_sport can be reset to 0 by __udp_disconnect() (connect() with AF_UNSPEC) on a socket without SOCK_BINDPORT_LOCK, and sk->sk_mark can change any time via setsockopt(SO_MARK). Neither triggers an ovpn cache reset, so a previously-cached entry resolved with the old value persists until dst obsolescence. Both fields are also read locklessly into the flow key (data race). - A sport of 0 means the transport socket has been disconnected and unhashed; sending a UDP packet from source port 0 is nonsense. In the common dispatcher ovpn_udp_output() (so every TX, including cache hits, runs the check): - Sample inet_sport with READ_ONCE(). If it is 0, emit a one-time netdev_warn_once() and return -EIO so ovpn_udp_send_skb() drops the skb. - Sample sk_mark with READ_ONCE(). - Compare both against the values stored when the dst_cache was last (re-)populated (new per-peer fields dst_cache_sport/dst_cache_mark, zero-initialised by kzalloc_obj() in ovpn_peer_new()). On mismatch dst_cache_reset() the cache and WRITE_ONCE() the new values, so the subsequent dst_cache_get() misses and the lookup re-resolves with the current sport/mark. - Pass sport/mark down to ovpn_udp{4,6}_output(); they use those in the flowi initializer and skip the per-function sampling. The post-lookup re-check in the v4/v6 paths is retained, but only for the bind/local race the original commit addressed (rcu_access_pointer on peer->bind and READ_ONCE/ovpn_peer_local_ipv6 on bind->local); the sport/mark comparison is dropped from there because the entry check now catches it. sk_protocol is immutable post-creation and is intentionally read plain. The in-flight packet is still transmitted with the resolved parameters; only the cache is guarded. No fast-path lock is added.
