Using csum_partial() on [potentially] the whole skb len is dangerous; instead be on the safe side and use skb_checksum(). Thanks to syzkaller team to detect the issue and provide the reproducer. v1 -> v2: - move the variable declaration in a tighter scope Fixes: ad6f939ab193 ("ip: Add offset parameter to ip_cmsg_recv") Reported-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
