Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

IPcomp: Small IP packet won't get compressed at sender, and failed on + policy check on receiver. + +Quote from RFC3173: +2.2. Non-Expansion Policy + + If the total size of a compressed payload and the IPComp header, as + defined in section 3, is not smaller than the size of the original + payload, the IP datagram MUST be sent in the original non-compressed + form. To clarify: If an IP datagram is sent non-compressed, no + + IPComp header is added to the datagram. This policy ensures saving + the decompression processing cycles and avoiding incurring IP + datagram fragmentation when the expanded datagram is larger than the + MTU. + + Small IP datagrams are likely to expand as a result of compression. + Therefore, a numeric threshold should be applied before compression, + where IP datagrams of size smaller than the threshold are sent in the + original form without attempting compression. The numeric threshold + is implementation dependent. + +Current IPComp implementation is indeed by the book, while as in practice +when sending non-compressed packet to the peer(whether or not packet len +is smaller than the threshold or the compressed len is large than original +packet len), the packet is dropped when checking the policy as this packet +matches the selector but not coming from any XFRM layer, i.e., with no +security path. Such naked packet will not eventually make it to upper layer. +The result is much more wired to the user when ping peer with different +payload length. + +One workaround is try to set "level use" for each policy if user observed +above scenario. The consequence of doing so is small packet(uncompressed) +will skip policy checking on receiver side. |
