Subject: [PATCH v2 net 0/2] net: always dissect GSO packets in __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb()
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:42:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928144254.3361044-1-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)

This series fixes a bypass of untrusted GSO flow dissection in
__virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() when VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM is not set,
and adds a kselftest covering VLAN-tagged GSO packets without NEEDS_CSUM:

- Patch 1 initializes skb->dev and skb->network_header before calling
  virtio_net_hdr_*_to_skb() in tun_get_user(), tun_xdp_one(),
  virtnet_receive_done(), and raw_verify_header(), removes the
  '&& skb->network_header' condition and the unvalidated
  'else if (gso_type)' fallback in __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb(), and moves
  virtio_net_hdr_match_proto() after skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys_basic()
  so it validates the dissected L3 protocol (keys.basic.n_proto) rather
  than the outer L2 protocol.

- Patch 2 adds a kselftest in tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c verifying
  that VLAN-tagged (802.1Q) TCPv4 GSO packets without NEEDS_CSUM (both
  flags = 0 and flags = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID) are accepted on a
  TAP device, and that mismatched GSO types and truncated headers without
  NEEDS_CSUM are rejected with -EINVAL.

v2:
 - Patch 1: drop the pre-dissection virtio_net_hdr_match_proto() check
   inside 'if (!skb->protocol)' so VLAN-tagged GSO frames without
   NEEDS_CSUM are not rejected before flow dissection (Michael S. Tsirkin).
 - Patch 1: clarify the changelog regarding why skb->network_header was 0
   in those callers and why skb_reset_mac_header() is dropped in
   tun_get_user() for IFF_TUN (Michael S. Tsirkin).
 - Patch 2: add selftest in tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c based on
   Michael's reproducer.
