commit cc20cced0598d9a5ff91ae4ab147b3b5e99ee819 upstream.
We encounter a tcp drop issue in our cloud environment. Packet GROed in
host forwards to a VM virtio_net nic with net_failover enabled. VM acts
as a IPVS LB with ipip encapsulation. The full path like:
host gro -> vm virtio_net rx -> net_failover rx -> ipvs fullnat
-> ipip encap -> net_failover tx -> virtio_net tx
When net_failover transmits a ipip pkt (gso_type = 0x0103, which means
SKB_GSO_TCPV4, SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_IPXIP4), there is no gso
did because it supports TSO and GSO_IPXIP4. But network_header points to
inner ip header.
Call Trace:
tcp4_gso_segment ------> return NULL
inet_gso_segment ------> inner iph, network_header points to
ipip_gso_segment
inet_gso_segment ------> outer iph
skb_mac_gso_segment
Afterwards virtio_net transmits the pkt, only inner ip header is modified.
And the outer one just keeps unchanged. The pkt will be dropped in remote
host.
Call Trace:
inet_gso_segment ------> inner iph, outer iph is skipped

The root cause of this issue is specific with the rare combination of
SKB_GSO_DODGY and a tunnel device that adds an SKB_GSO_ tunnel option.
SKB_GSO_DODGY is set from external virtio_net. We need to reset network
header when callbacks.gso_segment() returns NULL.
This patch also includes ipv6_gso_segment(), considering SIT, etc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
