Is checking if (skb_has_shared_frag(skb)) so important? > in the skb_checksum_help function, is it enough if (skb_is_nonlinear(skb)) ? Thanks for sharing the reproducers. Having a look. On SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG: as Eric's commit indicates, that flag identifies packets with contents writable from userspace, such as vmsplice or later introduced MSG_ZEROCOPY. That is not the case for these packets. Setting the flag may have the desired effect of triggering linearization, but it does not match the intent of the flag. I think we can catch these bad packets with illegal csum_start and simply drop them. The question is where is the best place to detect them. I gave one suggestion. Great to have reproducers. Let's see if that indeed addresses them.
