Subject: Re: [PATCH net v2] net: udp: fix handling of CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packets

Hi Sean,

I was analyzing this code and have some concerns. Please see the comments below.

Here you are fixing skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg, but this is not
the only flow that leads to netdev_rx_csum_fault. This function is
also called from __skb_checksum_complete (also after using the screwed
up skb->csum), and there are two ways we can get to
__skb_checksum_complete:

1. Directly from skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg.

2. udpv6_recvmsg -> __udp_lib_checksum_complete -> __skb_checksum_complete:

if (copied < ulen || peeking ||
    (is_udplite && UDP_SKB_CB(skb)->partial_cov)) {
        checksum_valid = udp_skb_csum_unnecessary(skb) ||
                        !__udp_lib_checksum_complete(skb);
        if (!checksum_valid)
                goto csum_copy_err;
}

It looks to me, as if these flows may also lead to parsing
skb->dev_scratch as skb->dev.

If I understand it correctly, we'll have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE
after this point, so __skb_checksum_complete won't call
netdev_rx_csum_fault anymore in case of bad hardware that calculates
checksums incorrectly.

Are my concerns real, or am I missing anything? If my points are
valid, do you have ideas how it could be fixed?

Thanks and looking forward to your reply.
