[PATCH net 0/2] pull request: fixes for ovpn 2026-04-29

[Antonio Quartulli <antonio@openvpn.net>]

Hello netdev team,

here are two fixes for ovpn.

Patch 1 fixes the inconsistent call context for gro_cells_receive().
On a TCP connection, we can end up calling gro_cells_receive() from
process context, which is unexpected (and could potentially trigger
deadlocks). For this reason we're wrapping the aforementioned call
within local_bh_disable/enable().

Patch 2 is ensuring that the MAC header offset is reset before
deliering the packet to the upper layer. Not doing so could trick other
parts of the networking stack into wrong calculations.



On a side note, the bug being fixed by patch 1 was also recently reported
by the netdev CI.
We still got some spurious TCP failures that we are tracking down.


Please pull or let me know of any issue.

Thanks,
	Antonio
