This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gre: fix the inner mac header in nbma tunnel xmit path 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: gre-fix-the-inner-mac-header-in-nbma-tunnel-xmit-path.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: =?UTF-8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= <timo.teras@xxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2014 09:24:13 +0200 Subject: gre: fix the inner mac header in nbma tunnel xmit path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: =?UTF-8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= <timo.teras@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8a0033a947403569caeca45fa5e6f7ba60d51974 ] The NBMA GRE tunnels temporarily push GRE header that contain the per-packet NBMA destination on the skb via header ops early in xmit path. It is the later pulled before the real GRE header is constructed. The inner mac was thus set differently in nbma case: the GRE header has been pushed by neighbor layer, and mac header points to beginning of the temporary gre header (set by dev_queue_xmit). Now that the offloads expect mac header to point to the gre payload, fix the xmit patch to: - pull first the temporary gre header away - and reset mac header to point to gre payload This fixes tso to work again with nbma tunnels.
