Subject: net: core: don't account for udp header size when computing seglen
From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 6d39d589bb76ee8a1c6cde6822006ae0053decff ]
In case of tcp, gso_size contains the tcpmss.
For UFO (udp fragmentation offloading) skbs, gso_size is the fragment
payload size, i.e. we must not account for udp header size.
Otherwise, when using virtio drivers, a to-be-forwarded UFO GSO packet
will be needlessly fragmented in the forward path, because we think its
individual segments are too large for the outgoing link.
Fixes: fe6cc55f3a9a053 ("net: ip, ipv6: handle gso skbs in forwarding path")
