If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 89e5c58fc1e2857ccdaae506fb8bc5fed57ee063 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 22:22:48 +0100 Subject: net: Fix gro aggregation for udp encaps with zero csum From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 89e5c58fc1e2857ccdaae506fb8bc5fed57ee063 upstream. We noticed a GRO issue for UDP-based encaps such as vxlan/geneve when the csum for the UDP header itself is 0. In that case, GRO aggregation does not take place on the phys dev, but instead is deferred to the vxlan/geneve driver (see trace below). The reason is essentially that GRO aggregation bails out in udp_gro_receive() for such case when drivers marked the skb with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (ice, i40e, others) where for non-zero csums 2abb7cdc0dc8 ("udp: Add support for doing checksum unnecessary conversion") promotes those skbs to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and napi context has csum_valid set. This is however not the case for zero UDP csum (here: csum_cnt is still 0 and csum_valid continues to be false). At the same time 57c67ff4bd92 ("udp: additional GRO support") added matches on !uh->check ^ !uh2->check as part to determine candidates for aggregation, so it certainly is expected to handle zero csums in udp_gro_receive(). The purpose of the check added via 662880f44203 ("net: Allow GRO to use and set levels of checksum unnecessary") seems to catch bad csum and stop aggregation right away. One way to fix aggregation in the zero case is to only perform the !csum_valid check in udp_gro_receive() if uh->check is infact non-zero.
