    netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs · 6aafeef0
    Jiri Pirko 提交于
    Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
    for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
    example:
    
    <example>
    On HOSTA do:
    ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
    ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT
    
    and on HOSTB you do:
    ping6 HOSTA -s2000    (MTU is 1500)
    
    Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
    not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)
    </example>
    
    As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
    reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
    effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
    dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.
    
    Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
    entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.
