From efb6de9b4ba0092b2c55f6a52d16294a8a698edd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernhard Thaler Date: Sat, 30 May 2015 15:30:16 +0200 Subject: netfilter: bridge: forward IPv6 fragmented packets IPv6 fragmented packets are not forwarded on an ethernet bridge with netfilter ip6_tables loaded. e.g. steps to reproduce 1) create a simple bridge like this modprobe br_netfilter brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth2 ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig eth2 up ifconfig br0 up 2) place a host with an IPv6 address on each side of the bridge set IPv6 address on host A: ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::1/64 dev eth0 set IPv6 address on host B: ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::2/64 dev eth0 3) run a simple ping command on host A with packets > MTU ping6 -s 4000 fd01:2345:6789:1::2 4) wait some time and run e.g. "ip6tables -t nat -nvL" on the bridge IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge cleanly until somebody runs. "ip6tables -t nat -nvL". As soon as it is run (and netfilter modules are loaded) IPv6 fragmented packets do not traverse the bridge any more (you see no more responses in ping's output). After applying this patch IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge cleanly in above scenario.
