From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [PATCH net-next V2] virtio-net: don't do header check for dodgy gso packets Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 11:03:52 +0800 Message-ID: <1419390232-14906-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: rusty@rustcorp.com.au, mst@redhat.com, virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: virtualization-bounces@lists.linux-foundation.org Errors-To: virtualization-bounces@lists.linux-foundation.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org There's no need to do header check for virtio-net since: - Host sets dodgy for all gso packets from guest and check the header. - Host should be prepared for all kinds of evil packets from guest, since malicious guest can send any kinds of packet. So this patch sets NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST for virtio-net to skip the check. Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Michael S.
