From ec33f2e5a2d0dbbfd71435209aee812fdc9369b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "D. Wythe" Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2025 10:40:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/smc: fix mismatch between CLC header and proposal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The current CLC proposal message construction uses a mix of `ini->smc_type_v1/v2` and `pclc_base->hdr.typev1/v2` to decide whether to include optional extensions (IPv6 prefix extension for v1, and v2 extension). This leads to a critical inconsistency: when `smc_clc_prfx_set()` fails - for example, in IPv6-only environments with only link-local addresses, or when the local IP address and the outgoing interface’s network address are not in the same subnet. As a result, the proposal message is assembled using the stale `ini->smc_type_v1` value—causing the IPv6 prefix extension to be included even though the header indicates v1 is not supported. The peer then receives a malformed CLC proposal where the header type does not match the payload, and immediately resets the connection. The fix ensures consistency between the CLC header flags and the actual payload by synchronizing `ini->smc_type_v1` with `pclc_base->hdr.typev1` when prefix setup fails.
