Merge branch 'gso_forward'
Florian Westphal says: ==================== net: ip: push gso skb forwarding handling down the stack Turns out doing the segmentation in forwarding was not a bright idea, there are corner-cases where this has unintended side-effects. This patch pushes the segmentation downwards. After this, netif_skb_dev_features() function can be removed again, it was only added to fetch the features of the output device, we can just use skb->dev after the pushdown. Tested with following setup: host -> kvm_router -> kvm_host mtu 1500 mtu1280 - 'host' has route to kvm_host with locked mtu of 1500 - gso/gro enabled on all interfaces Did tests with all of following combinations: - netfilter conntrack off and on on kvm_router - virtio-net and e1000 driver on kvm_router - tcp and udp bulk xmit from host to kvm_host for tcp, I added TCPMSS mangling on kvm_host to make it lie about tcp mss. Also added a dummy '-t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p udp -f' rule to make sure no udp fragments are seen in the 'conntrack on' and 'virtio-net' case. Also checked (with ping -M do -s 1400)' that it still sends the wanted icmp error message when size exceeds 1280. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
