Packets received by PPPoE can be non-linear, GSO since commit 55a5d8fca836 ("net: pppoe: implement GRO/GSO support"), or CHECKSUM_PARTIAL when injected with a virtio_net_hdr. The regular transmit path never sees such packets, and only PPPoE, which uses dev_queue_xmit(), handles them: - PPP Async reads the whole packet through skb->data, transmitting unrelated memory for non-linear packets. - PPP Async and Sync send GSO packets as single frames of up to 64KB, and CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets with a bad L4 checksum. - PPTP and L2TP cannot segment a TCP GSO packet once their GRE or UDP header is pushed, and do not finish pending checksums. Add a xmit_offload flag to struct ppp_channel, set for PPPoE. For other channels, segment GSO packets in software, using the PPP protocol field as the L2 header, finish CHECKSUM_PARTIAL checksums, and linearize packets for channels without direct_xmit, as ppp_push() does. Packets are dropped if any step fails, or if the channel is busy, as before. Tested in a VM by bridging PPPoE (on a TAP with IFF_NAPI_FRAGS, or on veth) to PPP Async on a PTY, PPPoL2TP and PPPoE: non-linear packets no longer leak garbage, GSO packets (including fraglist GRO) are sent as valid segments for IPv4 and IPv6, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets get a valid checksum, and PPPoE still receives GSO packets unchanged.
