From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7c6d2ecbda83150b2036a2b36b21381ad4667762 ] Recent change in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() broke some packetdrill tests. When --mss=XXX option is set, packetdrill always provide gso_type & gso_size for its inbound packets, regardless of packet size. if (packet->tcp && packet->mss) { if (packet->ipv4) gso.gso_type = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV4; else gso.gso_type = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV6; gso.gso_size = packet->mss; } Since many other programs could do the same, relax virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() to no longer return an error, but instead ignore gso settings. This keeps Willem intent to make sure no malicious packet could reach gso stack. Note that TCP stack has a special logic in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() to clear gso_size for small packets.
