[PATCH net] udp: Compute L4 checksum as usual when not segmenting the skb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If:

  1) the user requested USO, but
  2) there is not enough payload for GSO to kick in, and
  3) the egress device doesn't offer checksum offload, then

we want to compute the L4 checksum in software early on.

In the case when we taking the GSO path, but it has been requested, the
software checksum fallback in skb_segment doesn't get a chance to compute
the full checksum, if the egress device can't do it. As a result we end up
sending UDP datagrams with only a partial checksum filled in, which the
peer will discard.

Fixes: 10154dbded6d ("udp: Allow GSO transmit from devices with no checksum offload")

This shouldn't have fallen through the cracks. I clearly need to extend the
net/udpgso selftests further to cover the whole TX path for software
USO+csum case. I will follow up with that but I wanted to get the fix out
in the meantime. Apologies for the oversight.
