After we removed UFO completely, we found that guests may be migrated from old hosts with UFO support to newer without. And that they do not renegotiate features, so will continue to send UFO packets. I added back the absolute minimum support for UFO: for a host to be able to accept such UFO packets from userspace. But no device can advertise or negotiate the NETIF_F_USO feature again. If these packets arrive on the egress path, they will be immediately software segmented (or fragmented) in skb_segment. So the host will not forward such packets to another guest. The behavior that Jason is experiencing, truncated packets received in a guest from the host, sound unrelated to this feature to me. Can you see what the original UDP datagram length is? Are these packets just marginally larger, or indeed clearly U[SF]O packets well beyond any reasonable MTU size? Another option is that this is related to the host stack support for UDP_GRO. The stack can now build large packets, segments these on demand if needed (e.g., if such a packet arrives at a local socket that does not advertise UDP_GRO). Perhaps somehow such packets escape un-segmented to a guest. Do any devices where these packets may originate have features NETIF_F_GRO_UDP_FWD or NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST enabled? _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
