Re: [Bug #16626] Machine hangs with EIP at skb_copy_and_csum_dev

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

Plamen, could you test following patch ?

I reproduced problem on a dev machine and following patch cured it.

Thanks

[PATCH] gro: fix different skb headrooms

packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.

1) fix skb_segment()

skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()

2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list

skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.

Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN

Many thanks to Plamen Petrov, testing many debugging patches !
