4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eli Cooper <elicooper@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 23f4ffedb7d751c7e298732ba91ca75d224bc1a6 ] skb->cb may contain data from previous layers. In the observed scenario, the garbage data were misinterpreted as IP6CB(skb)->frag_max_size, so that small packets sent through the tunnel are mistakenly fragmented. This patch unconditionally clears the control buffer in ip6tunnel_xmit(), which affects ip6_tunnel, ip6_udp_tunnel and ip6_gre. Currently none of these tunnels set IP6CB(skb)->flags, otherwise it needs to be done earlier. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Eli Cooper <elicooper@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
