The IP reassembly library tracks only a running byte total and reserved
slots for the first and last fragments, with no coverage map. As a result
it mishandles duplicate, overlapping, oversized, and misheadered
fragments, and the IPv4 key is missing a field RFC 791 requires. There
was also no functional test to catch any of it.

These came out of reviewing a duplicate-fragment report on the list.

Patches 1 and 2 are interdependent: the overlap discard relies on the
duplicate handling so an exact duplicate is dropped on its own rather
than discarding the whole datagram. The rest are independent.

Patch 6 adds a functional test modeled on the Linux selftest ip_defrag.c.
It passes on this series; with any single fix reverted the matching case
fails.

Stephen Hemminger (6):
  ip_frag: tolerate duplicate fragments
  ip_frag: discard datagrams with overlapping fragments
  ip_frag: include protocol in IPv4 reassembly key
  ip_frag: drop IPv6 fragments with unexpected headers
  ip_frag: reject oversized reassembled datagrams
  app/test: add test for IP reassembly
