From 0761680d521559813648fb430ddeb479c97ab060 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 17:01:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: fix listify ip_rcv_finish in case of forwarding In commit 5fa12739a53d ("net: ipv4: listify ip_rcv_finish") calling dst_input(skb) was split-out. The ip_sublist_rcv_finish() just calls dst_input(skb) in a loop. The problem is that ip_sublist_rcv_finish() forgot to remove the SKB from the list before invoking dst_input(). Further more we need to clear skb->next as other parts of the network stack use another kind of SKB lists for xmit_more (see dev_hard_start_xmit). A crash occurs if e.g. dst_input() invoke ip_forward(), which calls dst_output()/ip_output() that eventually calls __dev_queue_xmit() + sch_direct_xmit(), and a crash occurs in validate_xmit_skb_list(). This patch only fixes the crash, but there is a huge potential for a performance boost if we can pass an SKB-list through to ip_forward.
