Subject: Multicast from underlying MACVLAN interface towards MACVLAN
Dear Network Core developers!
I've been debugging an issue with Multicast replies from underlying
interface of MACVLAN towards MACVLAN. These SKBs never contain a MAC header
and therefore cannot be properly processed by MACVLAN.
The usecase is following:
eth1 <-- eth1.212 <-- macvlan@...1.212 (in bridge mode)
As I understand the problem, it actually plays no role, that there is an intermediate VLAN interface.
The problem is, if macvlan@...1.212 sends Router Solicitation these SKBs are received on eth1.212,
but the corresponding multicast Router Advertisements are not received on macvlan@...1.212.
I've tracked the problem down to the following incompatibility between MACVLAN code and IP code...
One the one hand, MACVLAN always expects ethernet header:
static rx_handler_result_t macvlan_handle_frame(struct sk_buff **pskb)
{
struct macvlan_port *port;
struct sk_buff *skb = *pskb;
const struct ethhdr *eth = eth_hdr(skb);
...
port = macvlan_port_get_rcu(skb->dev);
if (is_multicast_ether_addr(eth->h_dest)) {
One the other hand, IP doesn't populate ethernet header for multicast loopback transmission:
int dev_loopback_xmit(struct net *net, struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
skb_reset_mac_header(skb);
__skb_pull(skb, skb_network_offset(skb));
skb->pkt_type = PACKET_LOOPBACK;
skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
WARN_ON(!skb_dst(skb));
skb_dst_force(skb);
netif_rx_ni(skb);
Unicast however works fine, because of:
int neigh_connected_output(struct neighbour *neigh, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
struct net_device *dev = neigh->dev;
unsigned int seq;
int err;
do {
__skb_pull(skb, skb_network_offset(skb));
seq = read_seqbegin(&neigh->ha_lock);
err = dev_hard_header(skb, dev, ntohs(skb->protocol),
neigh->ha, NULL, skb->len);
} while (read_seqretry(&neigh->ha_lock, seq));
if (err >= 0)
err = dev_queue_xmit(skb);
I've also collected some stack traces and SKB dumps to illustrate the problem
(I've instrumented macvlan_handle_frame() and eth_header() to understand when
the ethernet header has been generated):
macvlan_handle_frame() receives Router Advertisement, but cannot forward
without Ethernet header:

I would appreciate any hint, how to approach this problem! I can try to come up with a patch,
but as this is so central thing in the IP protocol, I'd like to hear some opinions first...
