Plamen, could you test this patch, too? (Without removing the previous one.) Thanks, Jarek P. -------------------> [PATCH] gro: Re-fix different skb headrooms The patch: "gro: fix different skb headrooms" in its part: "2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list" is buggy. The copied skb has p->data set at the ip header at the moment, and skb_gro_offset is the length of ip + tcp headers. So, after the change the length of mac header is skipped. Later skb_set_mac_header() sets it into the NET_SKB_PAD area (if it's long enough) and ip header is misaligned at NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN offset. There is no reason to assume the original skb was wrongly allocated, so let's copy it as it was. bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 fixes commit: 3d3be4333fdf6faa080947b331a6a19bce1a4f57 Reported-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@xxxxxxxxx> CC: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx> --- diff --git a/net/core/skbuff.c b/net/core/skbuff.c index 26396ff..c83b421 100644 --- a/net/core/skbuff.c +++ b/net/core/skbuff.c @@ -2706,7 +2706,7 @@ int skb_gro_receive(struct sk_buff **head, struct sk_buff *skb) } else if (skb_gro_len(p) != pinfo->gso_size) return -E2BIG; - headroom = NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN; + headroom = skb_headroom(p); nskb = alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p), GFP_ATOMIC); if (unlikely(!nskb)) return -ENOMEM; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
