Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] net/sched: act_ct: preserve tc_skb_cb across defragmentation
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:42:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728124200.3806616-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072019-provoking-acutely-210b@gregkh>

From: Zihan Xi <xizh2024@lzu.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 9092e15defbe6c7bc241c306093ca9d358a578e7 ]

tcf_ct_handle_fragments() calls nf_ct_handle_fragments() without saving
and restoring skb->cb. The defrag helper clears IPCB/IP6CB, which aliases
the tc_skb_cb/qdisc_skb_cb control buffer. Fragmented traffic through
act_ct therefore loses qdisc metadata such as pkt_segs and can trigger
WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_pkt_segs() when panic_on_warn is enabled.

Save and restore the full tc_skb_cb around nf_ct_handle_fragments(),
matching the pattern used by ovs_ct_handle_fragments().

Fixes: ec624fe740b4 ("net/sched: Extend qdisc control block with tc control block")
