ip6tnl/sit: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT
This patch reports the change made by Stephen Hemminger in ipip and gre[6] in commit eccc1bb8 (tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT). Goal is to handle RFC6040, Section 4.2: Default Tunnel Egress Behaviour. o If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT, the decapsulator MUST NOT propagate any other ECN codepoint onwards. This is because the inner Not-ECT marking is set by transports that rely on dropped packets as an indication of congestion and would not understand or respond to any other ECN codepoint [RFC4774]. Specifically: * If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is CE, the decapsulator MUST drop the packet. * If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is Not-ECT, ECT(0), or ECT(1), the decapsulator MUST forward the outgoing packet with the ECN field cleared to Not-ECT. The patch takes benefits from common function added in net/inet_ecn.h. Like it was done for Xin4 tunnels, it adds logging to allow detecting broken systems that set ECN bits incorrectly when tunneling (or an intermediate router might be changing the header). Errors are also tracked via rx_frame_error. CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
