This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: Fix stacked vlan offload features computation 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: net-fix-stacked-vlan-offload-features-computation.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 Sat Jan 17 18:12:21 PST 2015 From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 19:04:14 +0900 Subject: net: Fix stacked vlan offload features computation From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 796f2da81bead71ffc91ef70912cd8d1827bf756 ] When vlan tags are stacked, it is very likely that the outer tag is stored in skb->vlan_tci and skb->protocol shows the inner tag's vlan_proto. Currently netif_skb_features() first looks at skb->protocol even if there is the outer tag in vlan_tci, thus it incorrectly retrieves the protocol encapsulated by the inner vlan instead of the inner vlan protocol. This allows GSO packets to be passed to HW and they end up being corrupted. Fixes: 58e998c6d239 ("offloading: Force software GSO for multiple vlan tags.")
