From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

commit 1fd819ecb90cc9b822cd84d3056ddba315d3340f upstream.

skb_segment copies frags around, so we need
to copy them carefully to avoid accessing
user memory after reporting completion to userspace
through a callback.

skb_segment doesn't normally happen on datapath:
TSO needs to be disabled - so disabling zero copy
in this case does not look like a big deal.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2.  As skb_segment() only supports page-frags *or* a
 frag list, there is no need for the additional frag_skb pointer or the
 preparatory renaming.]

This is what I used in Debian for 3.2, and I believe it applies to all
stable branches up to 3.12 inclusive.

For branches older than 3.6, this requires cherry-picking commit
a353e0ce0fd4 ('skbuff: add an api to orphan frags').  To avoid breaking
OOT builds of openvswitch, which will use skb_orphan_frags() if
available, it is also necessary to cherry-pick commit dcc0fb782b3a
('skbuff: export skb_copy_ubufs').

Ben.

You can't have everything.  Where would you put it?
