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: [ 304.217036] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 304.217106] Kernel BUG at ffffffff816b75cc [verbose debug info unavailable] [ 304.217195] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 304.217278] Modules linked in: iptable_mangle xt_mark ip_tables x_tables ipip tunnel4 ip_tunnel netconsole configfs asix usbnet mii i915 snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_intel joydev snd_hda_codec hid_generic drm_kms_helper snd_hwdep drm usbhid hid snd_pcm video snd_page_alloc mac_hid snd_timer snd lpc_ich soundcore i2c_algo_bit lp parport e1000e ahci libahci ptp pps_core [last unloaded: netconsole] [ 304.218140] CPU: 3 PID: 1437 Comm: nc Not tainted 3.11.0-rc5 #33 [ 304.218221] Hardware name: /D33217GKE, BIOS GKPPT10H.86A.0020.2012.0919.2135 09/19/2012 [ 304.218325] task: ffff880110555d40 ti: ffff88011ef4c000 task.ti: ffff88011ef4c000 [ 304.218411] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff816b75cc>] [<ffffffff816b75cc>] skb_panic+0x63/0x65 [ 304.218528] RSP: 0018:ffff88011ef4d8d0 EFLAGS: 00010292 [ 304.218595] RAX: 0000000000000084 RBX: ffff88011f1e8f00 RCX: 0000000000000006 [ 304.218677] RDX: 0000000000000007 RSI: 0000000000000046 RDI: ffff88011f38d490 [ 304.218759] RBP: ffff88011ef4d8f0 R08: 0000000002000000 R09: 0000000000000300 [ 304.218841] R10: ffff88002ed6b880 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8801104f72d8 [ 304.218923] R13: 000000000000000e R14: ffff8801104f72e8 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 304.219005] FS: 00007f49f196d740(0000) GS:ffff88011f380000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 304.219095] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 304.219164] CR2: 00007f49f10799d0 CR3: 00000001184ed000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 [ 304.219245] Stack: [ 304.219273] ffff880118554bee 0000000000000035 00000000000000c0 ffff8801193d7000 [ 304.219411] ffff88011ef4d900 ffffffff815b183a ffff88011ef4d948 ffffffff815f9baf [ 304.219544] ffff8801193d7000 02706e0a81d00380 ffff88011f1e8f00 0000000000000000 [ 304.219672] Call Trace: [ 304.219724] [<ffffffff815b183a>] skb_push+0x3a/0x40 [ 304.219794] [<ffffffff815f9baf>] ip_finish_output+0x2af/0x3d0 [ 304.219873] [<ffffffff815fa5d5>] ip_output+0x55/0x90 [ 304.219941] [<ffffffff815f9d85>] ip_local_out+0x25/0x30 [ 304.220014] [<ffffffff8163be77>] iptunnel_xmit+0x1a7/0x1e0 [ 304.220095] [<ffffffffa0284d49>] ip_tunnel_xmit+0x2e9/0x15a0 [ip_tunnel] [ 304.220181] [<ffffffffa028a6a1>] ipip_tunnel_xmit+0x61/0x80 [ipip] [ 304.220264] [<ffffffff815c3138>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x338/0x510 [ 304.220342] [<ffffffffa02a710b>] ? iptable_mangle_hook+0x7b/0x13c [iptable_mangle] [ 304.220435] [<ffffffff815c363f>] dev_queue_xmit+0x32f/0x490 [ 304.220512] [<ffffffff815c9401>] neigh_direct_output+0x11/0x20 [ 304.220589] [<ffffffff815f9aaf>] ip_finish_output+0x1af/0x3d0 [ 304.220665] [<ffffffff815fa5d5>] ip_output+0x55/0x90 [ 304.220735] [<ffffffff815f9d85>] ip_local_out+0x25/0x30 [ 304.220806] [<ffffffff815fb075>] ip_send_skb+0x15/0x50 [ 304.220880] [<ffffffff816201f7>] udp_send_skb+0x227/0x2b0 [ 304.220953] [<ffffffff815f82d0>] ? ip_copy_metadata+0x1a0/0x1a0 [ 304.221034] [<ffffffff81621c14>] udp_sendmsg+0x2c4/0x9e0 [ 304.221108] [<ffffffff81128f00>] ? __page_cache_alloc+0xc0/0xd0 [ 304.221186] [<ffffffff8112af2d>] ? filemap_fault+0xbd/0x470 [ 304.221259] [<ffffffff81129443>] ? unlock_page+0x23/0x30 [ 304.221335] [<ffffffff8114dc39>] ? __do_fault+0x3a9/0x4c0 [ 304.221407] [<ffffffff8162ce73>] inet_sendmsg+0x63/0xb0 [ 304.221481] [<ffffffff815aa36f>] sock_aio_write+0x13f/0x160 [ 304.221555] [<ffffffff81402e32>] ? n_tty_set_room+0x12/0xc0 [ 304.221634] [<ffffffff8118def0>] do_sync_write+0x80/0xb0 [ 304.221707] [<ffffffff8118edc5>] vfs_write+0x1b5/0x1e0 [ 304.221778] [<ffffffff8118f1c2>] SyS_write+0x52/0xa0 [ 304.221850] [<ffffffff816c4346>] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f [ 304.221924] Code: 00 00 48 89 44 24 10 8b 87 d0 00 00 00 48 89 44 24 08 48 8b 87 e0 00 00 00 48 c7 c7 58 14 ad 81 48 89 04 24 31 c0 e8 d9 97 ff ff <0f> 0b 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 56 41 55 41 54 53 48 89 fb [ 304.222830] RIP [<ffffffff816b75cc>] skb_panic+0x63/0x65 [ 304.222910] RSP <ffff88011ef4d8d0> [ 304.222993] ---[ end trace e19b480453293c10 ]--- [ 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).
