Hello,
When trying to tunnel traffic originating from the same machine as the
tunnel endpoint, I am experiencing kernel panics for some types of
traffic (ICMP and UDP). TCP seems not to be affected by this, at least
I have not been able to trigger the panic.
I have one tunnel (without an IP address) and use policy routing to
steer some traffic through the tunnels. For my example, I use the
following commands to configure the tunnel and the routing:
ip tunnel add tun0 mode ipip remote 10.110.112.2 local 10.110.112.1
ip link set dev tun0 up
ip rule add fwmark 0x1 lookup 101
ip ro add default via tun0 table 101
iptables -A OUTPUT -t mangle -d 8.8.8.8 -j MARK --set-mark 0x1
The remote address of the tunnel does not matter, as the packets never
get that far. I then run ping 8.8.8.8/nc -u 8.8.8.8 9999, which
triggers the panic:
With ICMP:
skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffff815f9baf len:118 put:14
head:ffff880100cff800 data:ffff880100cff7ee tail:0x64 end:0xc0
dev:eth4
With UDP:
skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffff815f9baf len:71 put:14
head:ffff880118554c00 data:ffff880118554bee tail:0x35 end:0xc0
dev:eth4
Stack trace is the same:

[ 304.223086] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
[ 304.223221] drm_kms_helper: panic occurred, switching back to text console
An interesting thing is that I have seen different kernel panics being
triggered. The other one I have seen has RIP pointing to
e1000_xmit_frame() and the message "protocol 0800 is buggy". However,
the one I have posted is by far the most common.
What puzzles me is this additional skb_push()-call. I have not been
able to trace its origin. As far as I can see, the skb data is not
touched after iptunnel_xmit(). It is clear that some bogus data is
introduced to the head of the packet at some point after
iptunnel_xmit():
[ 500.537604] ip_tunnel_core: Len before push: 84 (size of iphdr struct 20)
[ 500.541096] ip_tunnel_core: Len after push: 104
[ 500.650000] ip_tunnel_core: 4 5 2706e0a 1706e0a (protocol, header
length, dst, src ip)
[ 500.735787] rawpost: IN= OUT=eth4 SRC=236.168.107.243
DST=138.226.8.0 LEN=0 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=180 DF FRAG:7704
PROTO=UDPLITE MARK=0x1
The three first lines is debug-output I added to iptunnel_xmit(),
while the last line is from iptables' LOG target used in rawpost
(combined with a DROP to avoid triggering the panic).
I do not see this kernel panic when I mangle in PREROUTING, give the
interface an address or don't mangle at all (for example ping -I tun0
8.8.8.8). The machine this occurs on is an Intel NUC with the Intel
82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. I have tested this against latest
net-next (pulled this morning).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kristian
