Subject: Re: [PATCH net v3 4/8] selftests: net: tuntap: fix UDP checksum length in build_udp_packet_csum()
Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2026 08:16:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-201041@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105115715.1466924-5-edumazet@kernel.org>
> build_udp_packet_csum() passes udph->len, which is in network byte
> order, as the number of bytes to checksum. On little-endian hosts this
> reads up to 64KB past the UDP header and computes a wrong checksum.
>
> Existing callers did not crash only because they use packet buffers
> of MAX_VNET_TUNNEL_PACKET_SZ bytes.
>
> Use ntohs(udph->len), as tap.c does in its own build_udp_packet().
>
> While at it, clear udph->check before summing instead of relying on
> the caller, and send 0xffff instead of a computed zero checksum, as
> the kernel does with CSUM_MANGLED_0.

> Fixes: a942fcd72e97 ("selftest: tun: Introduce tuntap_helpers.h header for TUN/TAP testing")
