Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2022 21:21:38 +0100 From: Justin Iurman <justin.iurman@...ege.be> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: davem@...emloft.net, yoshfuji@...ux-ipv6.org, dsahern@...nel.org, kuba@...nel.org, pabeni@...hat.com, Justin Iurman <justin.iurman@...ege.be> Subject: [RFC net] Discuss seg6 potential wrong behavior This thread aims to discuss a potential wrong behavior regarding seg6 (as well as rpl). I'm curious to know if there is a specific reason for discarding the packet when seg6 is not enabled on an interface and when segments_left == 0. Indeed, reading RFC8754, I'm not sure this is the right thing to do. I think it would be more correct to process the next header in the packet. It does not make any sense to prevent further processing when the SRv6 node has literally nothing to do in that specific case. For that, we need to postpone the check of accept_seg6. And, in order to avoid a breach, we also check for accept_seg6 before decapsulation when segments_left == 0. Any comments on this? Also, I'm not sure why accept_seg6 is set the current way. Are we not suppose to prioritize devconf_all? If "all" is set to 1, then it is enabled for all interfaces. Therefore, having an OR condition looks more correct. Right now, we need to set both "all" and the interface to 1 so that seg6 is enabled on this specific interface. Looks odd, thoughts? Note: this patch could also be applied to rpl, in the same way.
