ipv4, ipv6: Fix handling of transhdrlen in __ip{,6}_append_data()
[ Upstream commit 9d4c75800f61e5d75c1659ba201b6c0c7ead3070 ]
Including the transhdrlen in length is a problem when the packet is
partially filled (e.g. something like send(MSG_MORE) happened previously)
when appending to an IPv4 or IPv6 packet as we don't want to repeat the
transport header or account for it twice. This can happen under some
circumstances, such as splicing into an L2TP socket.
The symptom observed is a warning in __ip6_append_data():
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5042 at net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1800 __ip6_append_data.isra.0+0x1be8/0x47f0 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1800
that occurs when MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is used to append more data to an already
partially occupied skbuff. The warning occurs when 'copy' is larger than
the amount of data in the message iterator. This is because the requested
length includes the transport header length when it shouldn't. This can be
triggered by, for example:
sfd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_L2TP);
bind(sfd, ...); // ::1
connect(sfd, ...); // ::1 port 7
send(sfd, buffer, 4100, MSG_MORE);
sendfile(sfd, dfd, NULL, 1024);
Fix this by only adding transhdrlen into the length if the write queue is
empty in l2tp_ip6_sendmsg(), analogously to how UDP does things.
l2tp_ip_sendmsg() looks like it won't suffer from this problem as it builds
the UDP packet itself.
