    net: vrf: Drop conntrack data after pass through VRF device on Tx · eb63ecc1
    David Ahern authored
    Locally originated traffic in a VRF fails in the presence of a POSTROUTING
    rule. For example,
    
        $ iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 11.1.1.0/24  -j MASQUERADE
        $ ping -I red -c1 11.1.1.3
        ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than red.
        PING 11.1.1.3 (11.1.1.3) from 11.1.1.2 red: 56(84) bytes of data.
        ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
    
    Worse, the above causes random corruption resulting in a panic in random
    places (I have not seen a consistent backtrace).
    
    Call nf_reset to drop the conntrack info following the pass through the
    VRF device.  The nf_reset is needed on Tx but not Rx because of the order
    in which NF_HOOK's are hit: on Rx the VRF device is after the real ingress
    device and on Tx it is is before the real egress device. Connection
    tracking should be tied to the real egress device and not the VRF device.
    
    Fixes: 8f58336d ("net: Add ethernet header for pass through VRF device")
    Fixes: 35402e31 ("net: Add IPv6 support to VRF device")
