Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] Guard against gso_segs overflows
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:46:11 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813174613.2920246-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im> (raw)
From: Alice Mikityanska <alice@isovalent.com>
This series is a follow-up on the discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAD0BsJWzSr2zduf5v3mVC4zd=Lj6ZAoC+V42-VBdg42aDY8XXw@mail.gmail.com/T/#m1e22fca273c36cc8844e516505d3251cc1418fea
skb_segment is patched to avoid possible overflows in partial GSO. The
primary possible source of too many GSO segments is also addressed:
virtio-net clamps gso_size to >=8 in TCP, as suggested by Eric.
v2 changes: dropped new checks in fastpath from skb_gro_receive and
__virtio_net_hdr_to_skb, replaced the latter with a silent clamp for
gso_size, kept the cheap guard in skb_segment.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260723155145.158572-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im/
