The commitdbd50f238d("net: move the hsize check to the else block in skb_segment") introduced a data corruption for devices supporting scatter-gather. The problem boils down to signed/unsigned comparison given unexpected results: if signed 'hsize' is negative, it will be considered greater than a positive 'len', which is unsigned. This commit addresses resorting to the old checks order, so that 'hsize' never has a negative value when compared with 'len'. v1 -> v2: - reorder hsize checks instead of explicit cast (Alex) Bisected-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@tessares.net> Fixes:dbd50f238d("net: move the hsize check to the else block in skb_segment") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/861947c2d2d087db82af93c21920ce8147d15490.1611074818.git.pabeni@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
