From 41f2f1273caee29ce9e2854c9aba996b56303b4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 11:03:52 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: don't do header check for dodgy gso packets There's no need to do header check for virtio-net since: - Host sets dodgy for all gso packets from guest and check the header. - Host should be prepared for all kinds of evil packets from guest, since malicious guest can send any kinds of packet. So this patch sets NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST for virtio-net to skip the check. Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
