ip: force full reassembly before virtual
Type: improvement The vnet buffer metadata for full IP reassembly and shallow virtual reassembly overlaps. If you have full reassembly and virtual reassembly enabled on the same interface and virtual reassembly happens to process packets first, full reassembly will stomp on the metadata populated by virtual reassembly. Virtual reassembly gets enabled implicitly when NAT feature nodes are enabled. Those NAT feature nodes rely on the virtual reassembly metadata being populated correctly in order to find L4 proto & ports. When NAT and IP full reassembly are both enabled on an interface, NAT can drop fragmented packets because the virtual reassembly metadata can be overwritten by full reassembly. Ensure that full reassembly runs before virtual reassembly. Add a runs_before dependency to ensure that ip4-full-reassembly-feature runs before ip4-sv-reassembly-feature. There was a duplicate VNET_FEATURE_INIT() for ip4-full-reassembly-feature. It seems to have been intended for enabling ip4-full-reassembly-custom as a feature node, but its contents are identical to the earlier VNET_FEATURE_INIT() for ip4-full-reassembly-feature. Removed the duplicate. Change-Id: Ie600b854d4ceb90a7cb736810140d410b8f72447 Signed-off-by: Matthew Smith <mgsmith@netgate.com>
