Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
b160c28548
Heiner Kallweit reported that some skbs were sent with
the following invalid GSO properties :
- gso_size > 0
- gso_type == 0
This was triggerring a WARN_ON_ONCE() in rtl8169_tso_csum_v2.
Juerg Haefliger was able to reproduce a similar issue using
a lan78xx NIC and a workload mixing TCP incoming traffic
and forwarded packets.
The problem is that tcp_add_backlog() is writing
over gso_segs and gso_size even if the incoming packet will not
be coalesced to the backlog tail packet.
While skb_try_coalesce() would bail out if tail packet is cloned,
this overwriting would lead to corruptions of other packets
cooked by lan78xx, sharing a common super-packet.
The strategy used by lan78xx is to use a big skb, and split
it into all received packets using skb_clone() to avoid copies.
The drawback of this strategy is that all the small skb share a common
struct skb_shared_info.
This patch rewrites TCP gso_size/gso_segs handling to only
happen on the tail skb, since skb_try_coalesce() made sure
it was not cloned.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
