This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled udplite: fix partial checksum initialization to the 3.18-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: udplite-fix-partial-checksum-initialization.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Mar 8 10:42:32 PST 2018 From: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2018 20:18:43 +0300 Subject: udplite: fix partial checksum initialization From: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 15f35d49c93f4fa9875235e7bf3e3783d2dd7a1b ] Since UDP-Lite is always using checksum, the following path is triggered when calculating pseudo header for it: udp4_csum_init() or udp6_csum_init() skb_checksum_init_zero_check() __skb_checksum_validate_complete() The problem can appear if skb->len is less than CHECKSUM_BREAK. In this particular case __skb_checksum_validate_complete() also invokes __skb_checksum_complete(skb). If UDP-Lite is using partial checksum that covers only part of a packet, the function will return bad checksum and the packet will be dropped. It can be fixed if we skip skb_checksum_init_zero_check() and only set the required pseudo header checksum for UDP-Lite with partial checksum before udp4_csum_init()/udp6_csum_init() functions return.
