Transport mode xfrm_gro

[Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>]

Hi Steffen:

I'm looking at the function xfrm_input near the end where it deals
with transport mode packets:

		err = x->inner_mode->afinfo->transport_finish(skb, xfrm_gro || async);
		if (xfrm_gro) {
			if (skb->sp)
				skb->sp->olen = 0;
			skb_dst_drop(skb);
			gro_cells_receive(&gro_cells, skb);
			return err;
		}

This looks wrong because in transport mode, transport_finish is
well within its rights to consume and free the skb.  For example,
IPv4 transport_finish eventually calls xfrm4_rcv_encap_finish which
does:

	if (!skb_dst(skb)) {
		const struct iphdr *iph = ip_hdr(skb);

		if (ip_route_input_noref(skb, iph->daddr, iph->saddr,
					 iph->tos, skb->dev))
			goto drop;
	}
	return dst_input(skb);
drop:
	kfree_skb(skb);
	return NET_RX_DROP;

Whichever path it takes the skb is either gone or belongs to someone
else.

So why is xfrm_input in the xfrm_gro case trying to reinject the
skb into the network stack?

Cheers,
