Having received no feedback of substance from netdev, I now address my
previous email to a wider audience for discussion and in preparation for
submitting a patch based closely on that below.
This email is not addressed to Bandan Das <bandan.das@xxxxxxxxxxx>, who
is the author of the commit I propose reverting, as his email address is
no longer current. I believe I have otherwise addressed all appropriate
recipients and will circulate a formal patch to the same recipients if
no adverse comments are received. (That would surprise me.)

Subject: Revert 462fb2af9788a82a534f8184abfde31574e1cfa0 (bridge :
Sanitize skb before it enters the IP stack)
Date: Sat, 17 May 2014 00:03:16 +0930
From: David Newall <davidn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To: Lukas Tribus <luky-37@xxxxxxxxxxx>, Eric Dumazet

We should revert commit 462fb2af9788a82a534f8184abfde31574e1cfa0 (bridge
: Sanitize skb before it enters the IP stack) because it corrupts IP
packets with RR or TS options set, only partially updating the IP header
and leaving an incorrect checksum.
The argument for introducing the change is at lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/30/391:
The bridge layer can overwrite the IPCB using the
BR_INPUT_SKB_CB macro. In br_nf_dev_queue_xmit,
if we recieve a packet greater in size than the bridge
device MTU, we call ip_fragment which in turn will lead to
icmp_send calling ip_options_echo if the DF flag is set.
ip_options_echo will then incorrectly try to parse the IPCB as
IP options resulting in a buffer overflow.
This change refills the CB area back with IP
options before ip_fragment calls icmp_send. If we fail parsing,
we zero out the IPCB area to guarantee that the stack does
not get corrupted.
A bridge should not fragment packets; an *ethernet* bridge should not
need to. Fragmenting packets is the job of higher level protocol.
