WireGuard currently only propagates ECN markings on tunnel decap according
to the old RFC3168 specification. However, the spec has since been updated
in RFC6040 to recommend slightly different decapsulation semantics. This
was implemented in the kernel as a set of common helpers for ECN
decapsulation, so let's just switch over WireGuard to using those, so it
can benefit from this enhancement and any future tweaks.

RFC6040 also recommends dropping packets on certain combinations of
erroneous code points on the inner and outer packet headers which shouldn't
appear in normal operation. The helper signals this by a return value > 1,
so also add a handler for this case.

Hey Toke,

Thanks for fixing this. I wasn't aware there was a newer ECN RFC. A
few comments below:

This worries me. In the old implementation, we propagate some outer
header data to the inner header, which is technically an authenticity
violation, but minor enough that we let it slide. This patch here
seems to make that violation a bit worse: namely, we're now changing
the behavior based on a combination of outer header + inner header. An
attacker can manipulate the outer header (set it to CE) in order to
learn whether the inner header was CE or not, based on whether or not
the packet gets dropped, which is often observable. That's some form
of an oracle, which I'm not too keen on having in wireguard. On the
other hand, we pretty much already _explicitly leak this bit_ on tx
side -- in send.c:

PACKET_CB(skb)->ds = ip_tunnel_ecn_encap(0, ip_hdr(skb), skb); // inner packet
...
wg_socket_send_skb_to_peer(peer, skb, PACKET_CB(skb)->ds); // outer packet

We considered that leak a-okay. But a decryption oracle seems slightly
worse than an explicit and intentional leak. But maybe not that much
worse.

I wanted to check with you: is the analysis above correct? And can you
somehow imagine the ==2 case leading to different behavior, in which
the packet isn't dropped? Or would that ruin the "[de]congestion" part
of ECN? I just want to make sure I understand the full picture before
moving in one direction or another.

The documentation for the function says:

*  returns 0 on success
*          1 if something is broken and should be logged (!!! above)
*          2 if packet should be dropped

Would it be more clear to explicitly check for ==2 then?

All the other error messages in this block are in the form of: "Packet
.* from peer %llu (%pISpfsc)\n", so better text here might be "Packet
is non-ECT from peer %llu (%pISpfsc)\n". However, do you think we
really need to log to the console for this? Does it add much in the
way of wireguard internals debugging? Can't network congestion induce
it in complicated scenarios? Maybe it'd be best just to increment
those error counters instead.

This should use stats.rx_frame_errors instead of length_errors, which
is also what net/ipv6/sit.c and drivers/net/geneve.c do on ECN-related
drops.

Thanks,
Jason

Well, seeing as those two bits on the outer header are already copied
from the inner header, there's no additional leak added by this change,
is there? An in-path observer could set CE and observe that the packet
gets dropped, but all they would learn is that the bits were zero
(non-ECT). Which they already knew because they could just read the bits
directly from the header.

Also note, BTW, that another difference between RFC 3168 and 6040 is the
propagation of ECT(1) from outer to inner header. That's not actually
done correctly in Linux ATM, but I sent a separate patch to fix this[0],
which Wireguard will also benefit from with this patch.

So I think the logic here is supposed to be that if there are CE marks
on the outer header, then an AQM somewhere along the path has marked the
packet, which is supposed to be a congestion signal, which we want to
propagate all the way to the receiver (who will then echo it back to the
receiver). However, if the inner packet is non-ECT then we can't
actually propagate the ECN signal; and a drop is thus the only
alternative congestion signal available to us. This case shouldn't
actually happen that often, a middlebox has to be misconfigured to
CE-mark a non-ECT packet in the first place. But, well, misconfigured
middleboxes do exist as you're no doubt aware :)

Hmm, maybe? Other callers seem to use >1, so I figured it was better to
be consistent with those. I won't insist on that, though, so if you'd
rather I use a ==2 check I can certainly change it?

The other callers do seem to hide the logging behind a module parameter
specifically for this purpose. I put in this log message because the use
of net_dbg() indicated that these were already meant for non-production
error debugging. But if you'd rather avoid the logging that's fine by me.

Oops, that's my bad; copied the wrong error handling block it seems
(didn't even notice they were incrementing different counters). Will
fix.

Thanks for the details in your other email and for this v2. I've
applied this to the wireguard tree and will send things up to net
later this week with a few other things brewing there.

By the way, the original code came out of a discussion I had with Dave
Taht while I was coding this on an airplane many years ago. I read
some old RFCs, made some changes, he tested them with cake, and told
me that the behavior looked correct. And that's about as far as I've
forayed into ECN land with WireGuard. It seems like it might be
helpful (at some point) to add something to the netns.sh test to make
sure that all this machinery is actually working and continues to work
properly as things change in the future.

Replying to a single issue I am reading, and really hope I
am miss understanding.  I am neither a wireguard or linux

Why is anyone dropping on decap over the CE bit?  It should be passed
on, not lead to a packet drop.  If the outer header is CE on an inner
header of CE it should just continue to be a CE, dropping it is actually
breaking the purpose of the CE codepoint, to signal congestion before
having to cause a packet loss.

Again why is CE leading to anyone dropping?

You cannot get a CE mark on the outer packet if the inner packet is
not ECT, as the outer packet would also be not ECT and thus not
eligible for CE mark.  If you get the above sited condition something
has gone *wrong*.

That is true, though I believe the be liberal in what you accept
concept would say ok, someone messed up, just propogate it and
let the end nodes deal with it, otherwise your creating a blackhole
that could be very hard to find.

Yeah, good point. I guess I can look into that too at some point :)

Yup, you're quite right. If everything is working correctly, this should
never happen. This being the internet, though, there are bound to be
cases where it will go wrong :)

But that would lead you to ignore a congestion signal. And someone has
to go through an awful lot of trouble to set this signal; if they're
just randomly mangling bits the packet checksum will likely be wrong and
the packet would be dropped anyway. So on balance I'd tend to agree with
the RFC that the right thing to do is to propagate the congestion
signal; which in the case of a non-ECT packet means dropping it,
otherwise we'd just be contributing to the RFC-violating behaviour...

I do believe the advice in the RFC to log these cases is exactly because
of the risk of blackholes you're referring to. I discussed this a bit
with Jason and we ended up agreeing that just marking it as a framing
error should be enough for Wireguard, though...

I note that there is a large ISP in argentina that has been
mis-marking most udp & tcp traffic
as CE for years now and despite many attempts to get 'em to fix it,
when last I checked (2? 3?)
months back, they still were doing it.

My impression of overall competence and veracity of multiple transit
and isp providers has been sorely
tried recently. While I support treating ect 1 and 2 properly, I am
inclined to start thinking that
ce on a non-ect encapsulated packet is something that should not be dropped.

but, whatever is decided on that front is in the hooks in the other
patch above, not in wireguard,
and I'll make the same comment there.

Thanks for pointing this out. We're going to drop the dropping
behavior in wireguard, especially in light of the fact that folks like
to use wireguard for working around issues with their broken ISP or in
other weird circumstances.
