This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: check dev->gso_max_size in gso_features_check() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-check-dev-gso_max_size-in-gso_features_check.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 49aa05537cf207288821bf6f16f4cc5888554670 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 19 12:53:31 2023 +0000 net: check dev->gso_max_size in gso_features_check() [ Upstream commit 24ab059d2ebd62fdccc43794796f6ffbabe49ebc ] Some drivers might misbehave if TSO packets get too big. GVE for instance uses a 16bit field in its TX descriptor, and will do bad things if a packet is bigger than 2^16 bytes. Linux TCP stack honors dev->gso_max_size, but there are other ways for too big packets to reach an ndo_start_xmit() handler : virtio_net, af_packet, GRO... Add a generic check in gso_features_check() and fallback to GSO when needed. gso_max_size was added in the blamed commit.
