Subject: packet: only test po->has_vnet_hdr once in packet_snd
From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit da7c9561015e93d10fe6aab73e9288e0d09d65a6 ]
Packet socket option po->has_vnet_hdr can be updated concurrently with
other operations if no ring is attached.
Do not test the option twice in packet_snd, as the value may change in
between calls. A race on setsockopt disable may cause a packet > mtu
to be sent without having GSO options set.
Fixes: bfd5f4a3d605 ("packet: Add GSO/csum offload support.")
