netfilter: bridge: reset skb->pkt_type after NF_INET_POST_ROUTING traversal
Netfilter changes PACKET_OTHERHOST to PACKET_HOST before invoking the hooks as, while it's an expected value for a bridge, routing expects PACKET_HOST. The change is undone later on after hook traversal. This can be seen with pairs of functions updating skb>pkt_type and then reverting it to its original value: For hook NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING: setup_pre_routing / br_nf_pre_routing_finish For hook NF_INET_FORWARD: br_nf_forward_ip / br_nf_forward_finish But the third case where netfilter does this, for hook NF_INET_POST_ROUTING, the packet type is changed in br_nf_post_routing but never reverted. A comment says: /* We assume any code from br_dev_queue_push_xmit onwards doesn't care * about the value of skb->pkt_type. */ But when having a tunnel (say vxlan) attached to a bridge we have the following call trace: br_nf_pre_routing br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6 br_nf_pre_routing_finish br_nf_forward_ip br_nf_forward_finish br_nf_post_routing <- pkt_type is updated to PACKET_HOST br_nf_dev_queue_xmit <- but not reverted to its original value vxlan_xmit vxlan_xmit_one skb_tunnel_check_pmtu <- a check on pkt_type is performed In this specific case, this creates issues such as when an ICMPv6 PTB should be sent back. When CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER is enabled, the PTB isn't sent (as skb_tunnel_check_pmtu checks if pkt_type is PACKET_HOST and returns early). If the comment is right and no one cares about the value of skb->pkt_type after br_dev_queue_push_xmit (which isn't true), resetting it to its original value should be safe.
