[PATCH] RDMA/core: Fix partial copy of IPv6 flow_lbl in LAG hash skb
Posted by lirongqing 1 week, 1 day ago
From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>

rdma_build_skb() constructs a synthetic IPv6 header for LAG slave
selection and copies the flow label from the AH attribute:

	memcpy(&ip6h->flow_lbl, &ah_attr->grh.flow_label,
	       sizeof(*ip6h->flow_lbl));

ipv6hdr.flow_lbl is __u8[3], so sizeof(*ip6h->flow_lbl) dereferences the
array to a single __u8 and yields 1.  The memcpy therefore copies only
the first byte of the flow label, leaving flow_lbl[1] and flow_lbl[2]
uninitialised in the skb buffer (alloc_skb() does not zero the data).
The resulting LAG hash is computed over one byte of real flow-label
data and two bytes of kmalloc residue, so IPv6 RoCEv2 traffic on a
bonded interface can be steered to the wrong slave.

Use sizeof(ip6h->flow_lbl) (the array, 3 bytes) so the whole flow label
is copied.
