This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: skip offload for NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM if ipv6 header contains extension to the 5.15-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-skip-offload-for-netif_f_ipv6_csum-if-ipv6-heade.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 98b4fae1d316c19b87e3cb5278458532eb4999ba Author: Benoît Monin <benoit.monin@xxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 24 16:01:54 2024 +0200 net: skip offload for NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM if ipv6 header contains extension [ Upstream commit 04c20a9356f283da623903e81e7c6d5df7e4dc3c ] As documented in skbuff.h, devices with NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM capability can only checksum TCP and UDP over IPv6 if the IP header does not contains extension. This is enforced for UDP packets emitted from user-space to an IPv6 address as they go through ip6_make_skb(), which calls __ip6_append_data() where a check is done on the header size before setting CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. But the introduction of UDP encapsulation with fou6 added a code-path where it is possible to get an skb with a partial UDP checksum and an IPv6 header with extension: * fou6 adds a UDP header with a partial checksum if the inner packet does not contains a valid checksum. * ip6_tunnel adds an IPv6 header with a destination option extension header if encap_limit is non-zero (the default value is 4). The thread linked below describes in more details how to reproduce the problem with GRE-in-UDP tunnel. Add a check on the network header size in skb_csum_hwoffload_help() to make sure no IPv6 packet with extension header is handed to a network device with NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM capability.
