2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Herbert Xu [ Upstream commit 278b2513f76161a9cf1ebddd620dc9d1714fe573 ] As it stands skb fraglists can get past the check in dev_queue_xmit if the skb is marked as GSO. In particular, if the packet doesn't have the proper checksums for GSO, but can otherwise be handled by the underlying device, we will not perform the fraglist check on it at all. If the underlying device cannot handle fraglists, then this will break. The fix is as simple as moving the fraglist check from the device check into skb_gso_ok. This has caused crashes with Xen when used together with GRO which can generate GSO packets with fraglists. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
