[ upstream commit 45549e3 ] Commit def1770 ("ipsec: Clear node ID and SPI with output-mark") updates the output-mark of all our XFRM states. Without special logic to handle the upgrade, these new states can however conflict with the existing states. In that case, the agent will remove the existing state and add the new one. It works fine, but can lead to a very short time where packets are dropped because there isn't any matching XFRM state. It also causes an error log for the conflicting states. This commit adds the special upgrade logic to handle that situation. We have two cases to handle, depending on where we upgrade from. If upgrading from a version after commit 3e59b68 ("ipsec: Per-node XFRM states & policies for EKS & AKS"), then the existing XFRM states differ only by their output-marks. In that case, we can simply update the state in place atomically using the appropriate netlink call. If upgrading from a version that doesn't include commit 3e59b68, then the XFRM states may differ significantly. In that case, we already have some logic in place to remove the old conflicting states and add the new ones (the netlink API doesn't let us perform an atomic update in that case [1]). To handle the additional difference in output-marks, we simply need to update the existing logic to not assume the output-marks are the same. This is also the correct way to detect conflicting states anyway, given the kernel doesn't consider the output-marks when looking for conflicts. This change was tested with upgrades to v1.13.7 with this patch backported to it, on: - IPAM=ENI, upgrading from v1.13.0 (before commit 3e59b68). - IPAM=ENI, upgrading from v1.13.7. - IPAM=cluster-pool, upgrading from v1.13.0. In all three cases, I ran the full connectivity tests successfully and checked that the logs didn't have any errors or warnings after the upgrade. I also deployed the migrate-svc app before the upgrade to ensure the upgrade doesn't cause any transient packet drops [2]. 1 - c0d9b8c ("ipsec: Allow old and new XFRM OUT states to coexist for upgrade") 2 - Note that the second case isn't atomically updating the XFRM states so can in principle cause packet drops. The window for such drops is however so small (time between two netlink calls) that they haven't been reproduced yet (neither now nor when testing c0d9b8c).
