Subject: [PATCH net] net: extend virtio_net_hdr csum_start checks to VLAN, IPv6 and IP options
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 12:36:59 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007163819.3041710-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

__virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() validates hdr->csum_start against nh_min_len:

    if (skb_transport_offset(skb) < nh_min_len)
        return -EINVAL;

Extend the check to account for the link layer header including VLAN
tags, IPv4 options, and IPv6 other than VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV6.

Payload, gso_type and skb->protocol can come from userspace, so cannot
be trusted to be consistent, or correct.

Therefore:
- For Ethernet packets (ARPHRD_ETHER), parse from ETH_HLEN and
  eth_hdr(skb)->h_proto, advancing past any VLAN tags with
  __vlan_get_protocol().
- For non-Ethernet packets, use skb_network_offset(skb) as nhoff and
  infer the L3 protocol from iph->version at skb->data + nhoff.
- If skb->protocol is set and disagrees with the protocol parsed from
  the packet, enforce the minimum header length of both.
- For non-IP protocols, require only nhoff + nh_min_len. No in-tree
  non-IP protocol generates CHECKSUM_PARTIAL itself. They only carry it
  when encapsulating IP (e.g., MPLS), in which case csum_start lies
  beyond an inner IP header.
