[REGRESSION] aquantia: Sunshine/Moonlight UDP video streaming broken since 5b4015ad833c ("net: aquantia: Remove redundant UDP length adjustment with GSO_PARTIAL")

[Matthew Schwartz]

Hello,

When using a previously working setup of remote streaming from my workstation to another device via Sunshine (the host server) and Moonlight (the client app) on my home network, I no longer receive any video output on the client app after upgrading my host workstation to kernel 7.0. Reverting back to kernel 6.19 on the host restored my setup to a working state.

After bisecting, I landed on 5b4015ad833c ("net: aquantia: Remove redundant UDP length adjustment with GSO_PARTIAL") as the first bad commit. I confirmed this by moving the cable to my second on-board NIC (Intel) on the same workstation, which restored video output without any other kernel changes. My affected on-board NIC is Aquantia AQC113 [1d6a:04c0] (rev 03), atlantic driver, firmware 1.3.34, MTU 1500.

Looking into it a bit further, ethtool -K enp97s0 tx-udp-segmentation off also serves as a workaround on my Aquantia port without changing to my other ethernet port. The working Intel NIC reports tx-udp-segmentation as "off [fixed]", so traffic falls back to software UDP segmentation on there.

Please let me know if there's any additional info I can provide.

Thanks,
Matt

Thank you for the report and the bisect!

I will take a look and try to figure out what's wrong (though I don't
have real hardware to test on).
Is the userspace app open source? can I see its code and try to run it
myself?

I will be OOO for the rest of the week, hope to have some meaningful
reply by the end of next week.

Thanks for the reply. The code for Sunshine is available here: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine and the code for Moonlight is here: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt.

I have been using the Arch Linux Sunshine package which I installed by following the Linux instructions here: https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/latest/md_docs_2getting__started.html, but there are also binaries for other distros or it's buildable from source. For Moonlight, I have been using the Flatpak distributed on Flathub because the client device runs an atomic rootfs, but you can also use any other device that Moonlight supports.

I think I see the issue, do you mind testing the following diff?

Sorry for the delay. I applied this diff and I’m able to stream from my host to clients again without any issues.

If you send this version upstream, feel free to add my Tested-by to it.

Thanks,

Thanks for verifying!

I will finalize this and submit a proper patch soon.
