That's a neat idea, but I'm not sure it really helps: I think it will just move the misaligned access from inside the function to the call site, where we try to marshal the parameter from something unaligned.On Sat, Feb 17, 2024 at 04:07:23PM +0100, Laurent Vivier wrote:The idea here is to avoid the pointer alignment problem (&ip6h->saddr and &ip6h->daddr can be misaligned).The TCP and UDP checksums are computed using the data in the TCP/UDP payload but also some informations in the IP header (protocol, length, source and destination addresses). We add two functions, proto_ipv4_header_psum() and proto_ipv6_header_psum(), to compute the checksum of the IP header part.

Not sure why I thought the ip6h length needed to be included. As a rule htons(x) + y is always suspect, because you generally can't do math on values that aren't host endian. We get away with it in these csum functions because the way they're folded means the answers end up the same - as long as we're consistent about it, anyway.payload_len is: - b->ip6h.payload_len (from udp_update_hdr6()) - ip6h->payload_len (from tcp_update_check_tcp6()) and in ip6h payload_len is: - htons(udp6_l2_mh_sock[n].msg_len + sizeof(b->uh)) (from udp_update_hdr6()) - htons(plen + sizeof(struct tcphdr)) (from tcp_fill_ipv6_header()) So this is correct... but+{ + uint32_t sum = htons(protocol) + payload_len;Uh.. doesn't that need to be htons(payload_len + sizeof(struct ipv6hdr)) rather than simply payload_len?csum_udp6() uses "len" from tap_udp6_send(), so there is a bug here. but there is also a problem with proto_ipv4_header_psum() that need host endianness and tcp_update_check_tcp4() provides network endianness... The first idea was to use the value from ip6h payload_len as it is already computed. But mixing network endianness and host endianness appears to be a bad idea...Right. As a rule I really dislike putting non-host-endian values in a plain u16 local or parameter, because it's really easy to think it's just a number, rather than a funny encoding of a number. Likewise, I think it's a lot easier to keep track of things if every field of a struct has a strict endianness, which we never change in place, even temporarily. (Ideally, in fact, I'd prefer to see non-host-endian values always in an encapsulating type that won't let you do math on them, but that's not always practical in C). -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
