Title:
openvswitch: same tcp session encapsulated with different udp src port
for ovs vxlan tunnel
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
Packets encapsulated into a vxlan tunnel with openvswitch don't have
the same udp source port for the first packet and the following ones
of the same TCP flow in a DOCKER scenario usecase.
In fact, when using the kernel datapath, the upcall don't include skb
hash info relatived. As VXLAN module uses the skb hash to select UDP
src port, the source port is different for the first packet.
More information can be found here:
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2019-October/364062.html
This has been fixed in v5.5 by the following upstream commit:
bd1903b7c4596 ("net: openvswitch: add hash info to upcall")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/net/openvswitch?id=bd1903b7c4596ba6f7677d0dfefd05ba5876707d
The bug exists since the beginning of vxlan support in openvswitch.
== Fix ==
Backport the requested patches to Focal (5.4), Eoan (5.3), Bionic (4.15) and
Xenial (4.4).
== Risk of Regression ==
This patch only add hash information when we do upcall, thus the risk
should be low.
