Hi,

I'm not sure how it behaved in earlier kernels (can check later), but it is
/ looks bugged in at least recent 5.x+ ones (tests were done with 5.11.8 and
5.10.25).

Consider following setup:

# ip -o ad sh
1: lo    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
2: right1    inet 10.0.10.2/24 scope global
3: right2    inet 10.0.20.2/24 scope global

# ip ro sh tab main
default via 10.0.10.1 dev right1
10.0.10.0/24 dev right1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.10.2
10.0.20.0/24 dev right2 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.20.2

# ip ro sh tab 123
default via 10.0.20.1 dev right2 src 10.0.20.2

And routing rules:

0:      from all lookup local
9:      from all fwmark 0x1 ipproto udp sport 1194 lookup 123
10:     from all ipproto udp sport 1194 lookup 123
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

This - without any mangling via ipt/nft or by other means - works correctly,
for example:

nc -u -p 1194 1.2.3.4 12345

will be routed out correctly via 'right2' using 10.0.20.2

But if we add mark to locally outgoing packets:

iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j MARK --set-mark 1

Then *both* rule 9 and rule 10 will be ignored during reroute check. tcpdump
on interface 'right1' will show:

# tcpdump -nvi right1 udp
tcpdump: listening on right1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length
262144 bytes
13:21:59.684928 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 8801, offset 0, flags [DF], proto
UDP (17), length 33)
     10.0.20.2.1194 > 1.2.3.4.12345: UDP, length 5

Initial routing decision in rule 10 will set the address correctly, but the
packet goes out via interface right1, ignoring both 9 and 10.

If I add another routing roule:

8:      from all fwmark 0x1 lookup 123

Then the packects will flow correctly - but I *cannot* use (from the ones I
tested): sport, dport, ipproto, uidrange - as they will cause the rule to be
ignored. For example, this setup of routing rules will fail, if there is any
mark set on a packet (nc had uid 1120):

# ip ru sh
0:      from all lookup local
10:     from all ipproto udp lookup 123
10:     from all sport 1194 lookup 123
10:     from all dport 12345 lookup 123
10:     from all uidrange 1120-1120 lookup 123
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

Adding correct fwmark to the above rules will have *no* effect either. Only
fwmark *alone* will work (or in combination with: iif, from, to - from the
ones I tested).

I peeked at fib_rule_match() in net/core/fib_rules.c - but it doesn't look
like there is anything wrong there. I initially suspected lack of
'rule->mark &&' in mark related line - but considering that rules such as
'from all fwmark 1 sport 1194 lookup main' also fail, it doesn't look like
it's the culprit (and mark_mask covers that test either way).

OTOH, perhaps nf_ip_reroute() / ip_route_me_harder() are somehow the culprit
here - but I haven't analyzed them yet. Perhaps it's just an issue of
changing output interface incorrectly after ip_route_me_harder() ?


ip_route_me_harder() does not set source / destination port in the
flow key, so it explains why fib rules that use them are not hit after
mangling the packet. These keys were added in 4.17, but I
don't think this use case every worked. You have a different experience?


Nah, started using ipproto/sport just recently - so only tested with 5.10+ kernels.

But - I did quick check just a moment ago with 4.19.132 kernel - it's as you say, not working there either.


Is this a bug ? Or am I misinterpreting how 'reroute check' works after
initial routing decision ? One would expect routing rules during post-mangle
check to not be ignored out of the blue, only because packet mark changed on
the packet. Not mentioning both marks and routing rules can be used for
separate purposes (e.g. marks for shaping).
