5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tom Parkin <tparkin@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 359e54a93ab43d32ee1bff3c2f9f10cb9f6b6e79 upstream. l2tp_ip6_sendmsg needs to avoid accounting for the transport header twice when splicing more data into an already partially-occupied skbuff. To manage this, we check whether the skbuff contains data using skb_queue_empty when deciding how much data to append using ip6_append_data. However, the code which performed the calculation was incorrect: ulen = len + skb_queue_empty(&sk->sk_write_queue) ? transhdrlen : 0; ...due to C operator precedence, this ends up setting ulen to transhdrlen for messages with a non-zero length, which results in corrupted packets on the wire. Add parentheses to correct the calculation in line with the original intent.
