As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, currently using TUNNEL_SEQ in collect_md mode is racy for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices. Consider the following sequence of events: 1. An [IP6]GRE[TAP] device is created in collect_md mode using "ip link add ... external". "ip" ignores "[o]seq" if "external" is specified, so TUNNEL_SEQ is off, and the device is marked as NETIF_F_LLTX (i.e. it uses lockless TX); 2. Someone sets TUNNEL_SEQ on outgoing skb's, using e.g. bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key() in an eBPF program attached to this device; 3. gre_fb_xmit() or __gre6_xmit() processes these skb's: gre_build_header(skb, tun_hlen, flags, protocol, tunnel_id_to_key32(tun_info->key.tun_id), (flags & TUNNEL_SEQ) ? htonl(tunnel->o_seqno++) : 0); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Since we are not using the TX lock (&txq->_xmit_lock), multiple CPUs may try to do this tunnel->o_seqno++ in parallel, which is racy. Fix it by making o_seqno atomic_t. As mentioned by Eric Dumazet in commit b790e01a ("ip_gre: lockless xmit"), making o_seqno atomic_t increases "chance for packets being out of order at receiver" when NETIF_F_LLTX is on. Maybe a better fix would be: 1. Do not ignore "oseq" in external mode. Users MUST specify "oseq" if they want the kernel to allow sequencing of outgoing packets; 2. Reject all outgoing TUNNEL_SEQ packets if the device was not created with "oseq". Unfortunately, that would break userspace. We could now make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX, but let us do it in separate patches to keep this fix minimal.
