Subject: [PATCH net v3] net: gro: Fix nesting of TCP GSO SKBs in skb_gro_receive_list()
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 09:40:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813014056.160533-1-zhaoping.shu@mediatek.com> (raw)
From: HW He <hw.he@mediatek.com>
A device supports GRO_HW, and the device driver enables the
NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST feature. During a tethering test,
skb_gro_receive_list() reaggregates the GSO packet. However,
skb_segment_list() cannot segment this packet back into
the original packets, which leads to IP fragmentation or packet drop.
Scenario (Tethering/Forwarding):
1.Driver submits a single TCP packet, P1. P1 is kept in the
gro_list as the first packet.
2. The driver submits a TCP GSO skb, P2. P2 has already aggregated
multiple TCP packets by HW_GRO, and its non-linear data is stored in
frags[].
3. P1 and P2 match the GRO rules, and since there is no local socket,
they are aggregated by skb_gro_receive_list(). The resulting skb,
P3, has a frag_list entry that still contains frags[]:
P3: [ Linear Data ] -> frag_list -> [ Linear Data ]
[ frag[1] ]
[ frag[2] ]
...
4. Later, tcp4_gso_segment() or tcp6_gso_segment() calls
skb_segment_list() to segment P3. However, skb_segment_list() only
segments the entries in frag_list. It does not segment the frags[]
inside P2, so P3 is not restored to the original packets, which leads
to IP fragmentation or packet drop in the following path.
When NETIF_F_GRO_HW is enabled, do not set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->is_flist.
Fall through to the regular skb_gro_receive() path instead of
skb_gro_receive_list().
Fixes: 8d95dc474f85 ("net: add code for TCP fraglist GRO")
