The PMTU update and ICMP redirect helper functions initialise their fl4
variable with either __build_flow_key() or build_sk_flow_key(). These
initialisation functions always set ->flowi4_scope with
RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE and might set the ECN bits of ->flowi4_tos. This is
not a problem when the route lookup is later done via
ip_route_output_key_hash(), which properly clears the ECN bits from
->flowi4_tos and initialises ->flowi4_scope based on the RTO_ONLINK
flag. However, some helpers call fib_lookup() directly, without
sanitising the tos and scope fields, so the route lookup can fail and,
as a result, the ICMP redirect or PMTU update aren't taken into
account.
Fix this by extracting the ->flowi4_tos and ->flowi4_scope sanitisation
code into ip_rt_fix_tos(), then use this function in handlers that call
fib_lookup() directly.
Note 1: We can't sanitise ->flowi4_tos and ->flowi4_scope in a central
place (like __build_flow_key() or flowi4_init_output()), because
ip_route_output_key_hash() expects non-sanitised values. When called
with sanitised values, it can erroneously overwrite RT_SCOPE_LINK with
RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE in ->flowi4_scope. Therefore we have to be careful to
sanitise the values only for those paths that don't call
ip_route_output_key_hash().
Note 2: The problem is mostly about sanitising ->flowi4_tos. Having
->flowi4_scope initialised with RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE instead of
RT_SCOPE_LINK probably wasn't really a problem: sockets with the
SOCK_LOCALROUTE flag set (those that'd result in RTO_ONLINK being set)
normally shouldn't receive ICMP redirects or PMTU updates.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
