Subject: [PATCH net] udp: Pass 2 bytes of data with UDP_GRO cmsg to user-space
While UDP_GRO cmsg interface lacks documentation, the selftests added in
commit 3327a9c46352 ("selftests: add functionals test for UDP GRO") suggest
that the user-space should allocate CMSG_SPACE for an u16 value and
interpret the returned bytes as such:
static int recv_msg(int fd, char *buf, int len, int *gso_size)
{
char control[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(uint16_t))] = {0};
...
if (cmsg->cmsg_level == SOL_UDP
&& cmsg->cmsg_type == UDP_GRO) {
gsosizeptr = (uint16_t *) CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
*gso_size = *gsosizeptr;
break;
}
...
}
Today user-space will receive 4 bytes of data with an UDP_GRO cmsg, because
the kernel packs an int into the cmsg data, as we can confirm with strace:
recvmsg(8, {msg_name=...,
msg_iov=[{iov_base="\0\0..."..., iov_len=96000}],
msg_iovlen=1,
msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20, <-- sizeof(cmsghdr) + 4
cmsg_level=SOL_UDP,
cmsg_type=0x68}], <-- UDP_GRO
msg_controllen=24,
msg_flags=0}, 0) = 11200
This means that either UDP_GRO selftests are broken on big endian, or this
is a programming error. Assume the latter and pass only the needed 2 bytes
of data with the cmsg.
Fixing it like that has an added advantage that the cmsg becomes compatible
with what is expected by UDP_SEGMENT cmsg. It becomes possible to reuse the
cmsg when GSO packets are received on one socket and sent out of another.
Fixes: bcd1665e3569 ("udp: add support for UDP_GRO cmsg")
