From 4d5acd2d4264d0a754d3d11c94825fd69d0c7837 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonas Danielsson Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2016 18:26:32 +0200 Subject: ping: populate icmp_id field for "simple" ping too The ICMP RFC says that identifier and sequence number may be zero. Having them zero for a Echo message, along with a data of zero's as well will result in a Echo reply message with only zero's. Some NAT implementations seem to get the checksum wrong on these packages. Setting a checksum of 0x0 instead of 0xffff. Through NAT: Internet Control Message Protocol Type: 0 (Echo (ping) reply) Code: 0 Checksum: 0x0000 [incorrect, should be 0xffff] Identifier (BE): 0 (0x0000) Identifier (LE): 0 (0x0000) Sequence number (BE): 0 (0x0000) Sequence number (LE): 0 (0x0000) Data (56 bytes) Data: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000... [Length: 56] Without NAT: Internet Control Message Protocol Type: 0 (Echo (ping) reply) Code: 0 Checksum: 0xffff [correct] Identifier (BE): 0 (0x0000) Identifier (LE): 0 (0x0000) Sequence number (BE): 0 (0x0000) Sequence number (LE): 0 (0x0000) [Request frame: 189] [Response time: 0.024 ms] Data (56 bytes) Data: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000... [Length: 56] And this in turn will make some hardware MAC checksum offloading engines drop the packet. (This was seen with a Synopsis MAC, the same one used in for instance the stmmac Ethernet driver in the linux kernel.) This change can be seen as a workaround for bugs in other layers. But just setting an identifier for the Echo message packet will avoid prodding the hornets nest. function old new delta common_ping_main 424 500 +76 Signed-off-by: Jonas Danielsson Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko --- networking/ping.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/networking/ping.c b/networking/ping.c index cfe682646..d8767a39f 100644 --- a/networking/ping.c +++ b/networking/ping.c @@ -186,6 +186,7 @@ create_icmp_socket(void) struct globals { char *hostname; char packet[DEFDATALEN + MAXIPLEN + MAXICMPLEN]; + uint16_t myid; } FIX_ALIASING; #define G (*(struct globals*)bb_common_bufsiz1) #define INIT_G() do { setup_common_bufsiz(); } while (0) @@ -204,6 +205,7 @@ static void ping4(len_and_sockaddr *lsa) pkt = (struct icmp *) G.packet; /*memset(pkt, 0, sizeof(G.packet)); already is */ pkt->icmp_type = ICMP_ECHO; + pkt->icmp_id = G.myid; pkt->icmp_cksum = inet_cksum((uint16_t *) pkt, sizeof(G.packet)); xsendto(pingsock, G.packet, DEFDATALEN + ICMP_MINLEN, &lsa->u.sa, lsa->len); @@ -228,6 +230,8 @@ static void ping4(len_and_sockaddr *lsa) struct iphdr *iphdr = (struct iphdr *) G.packet; pkt = (struct icmp *) (G.packet + (iphdr->ihl << 2)); /* skip ip hdr */ + if (pkt->icmp_id != G.myid) + continue; /* not our ping */ if (pkt->icmp_type == ICMP_ECHOREPLY) break; } @@ -246,6 +250,7 @@ static void ping6(len_and_sockaddr *lsa) pkt = (struct icmp6_hdr *) G.packet; /*memset(pkt, 0, sizeof(G.packet)); already is */ pkt->icmp6_type = ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST; + pkt->icmp6_id = G.myid; sockopt = offsetof(struct icmp6_hdr, icmp6_cksum); setsockopt_int(pingsock, SOL_RAW, IPV6_CHECKSUM, sockopt); @@ -269,6 +274,8 @@ static void ping6(len_and_sockaddr *lsa) continue; } if (c >= ICMP_MINLEN) { /* icmp6_hdr */ + if (pkt->icmp6_id != G.myid) + continue; /* not our ping */ if (pkt->icmp6_type == ICMP6_ECHO_REPLY) break; } @@ -317,6 +324,7 @@ static int common_ping_main(sa_family_t af, char **argv) alarm(5); /* give the host 5000ms to respond */ create_icmp_socket(lsa); + G.myid = (uint16_t) getpid(); #if ENABLE_PING6 if (lsa->u.sa.sa_family == AF_INET6) ping6(lsa); -- cgit v1.2.3
