Title:
“IPV6 header not found” log with ICMPv6 with QinQ
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have some VMs running in a host (KVM), and every time any VM sends an ICMP6
Router Advertisement, we get the following log in syslog:
Aug 10 11:18:36 Hostname kernel: [1722430.045240] IPv6 header not
found
For the traffic, I use QinQ (802.1Q in both tags), the inner tag is
set with OVS in the tap, and the outer is set with a veth of vlan
type, in the following way:
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| +-----------+ HOST |
| | | Unbuntu 16.04 |
| | VM-1 | 4.4.0-62-generic
| | | |
| +----+------+ |

'Regular traffic' (non ICMP6) seems to work fine, the problem happens
apparently only with ICMPv6 (but the packets seem to progress right).
I checked the code writing that log, and I think it seems to be in
'kernel/net/ipv6/exthdrs_core.c'
if (*offset) {
struct ipv6hdr _ip6, *ip6;
ip6 = skb_header_pointer(skb, *offset, sizeof(_ip6), &_ip6);
if (!ip6 || (ip6->version != 6)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "IPv6 header not found\n");
return -EBADMSG;
}
start = *offset + sizeof(struct ipv6hdr);
nexthdr = ip6->nexthdr;
}
but both the protocol and protocol version seem right in tcpdump:
11:28:38.675686 02:00:40:00:21:31 > 33:33:00:00:00:01, ethertype
802.1Q (0x8100), length 158: vlan 203, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 49, p 0,
ethertype IPv6, fe80::40ff:fe00:2131 > ff02::1: ICMP6, router advertisement,
length 96
`....`:...........@...!1...................
@...............@.!1..........@.... ........*.. ..!1................*..
..!1............. '.
11:28:39.300076 02:00:40:00:23:2a > 33:33:00:00:00:01, ethertype 802.1Q
(0x8100), length 158: vlan 204, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 193, p 0, ethertype
IPv6, fe80::40ff:fe00:232a > ff02::1: ICMP6, router advertisement, length 96
`....`:...........@...#*...................%@...............@.#*..........@....
........*.. ..#*................*.. ..#*.............
I also debugged a bit with systempad:
probe kernel.statement("*@net/ipv6/exthdrs_core.c:200") {
printf("Function call %s -> %s\n", thread_indent(1), ppfunc());
printf("%s\n", $$parms$);
printf("%s\n",$$locals$$);
printf("\nIP6->%s\n",$_ip6$$)
}
And the problem seems to be in the version field?
IP6->{.priority=8, .version=4, .flow_lbl="9�?���F�r����� ",
.payload_len=34832, .nexthdr='\377', .hop_limit='\377',
.saddr={.in6_u={.u6_addr8="F�r����� ", .u6_addr16=[60998, ...],
.u6_addr32=[2171792966, ...]}}, .daddr={.in6_u={.u6_addr8="#�q�����",
.u6_addr16=[35619, ...], .u6_addr32=[2171702051, ...]}}}
