[PATCH v2] virtio: Work around frames incorrectly marked as gso

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some of the locally generated frames marked as GSO which
arrive at virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() have no GSO_TYPE, no
fragments (data_len = 0) and length significantly shorter
than the MTU (752 in my experiments).

This is observed on raw sockets reading off vEth interfaces
in all 4.x and 5.x kernels I tested.

These frames are reported as invalid while they are in fact
gso-less frames.

This patch marks the vnet header as no-GSO for them instead
of reporting it as invalid.
