udp: only allow UFO for packets from SOCK_DGRAM sockets
If an over-MTU UDP datagram is sent through a SOCK_RAW socket to a UFO-capable device, ip_ufo_append_data() sets skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL unconditionally as all GSO code assumes transport layer checksum is to be computed on segmentation. However, in this case, skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset are never set as raw socket transmit path bypasses udp_send_skb() where they are usually set. As a result, driver may access invalid memory when trying to calculate the checksum and store the result (as observed in virtio_net driver). Moreover, the very idea of modifying the userspace provided UDP header is IMHO against raw socket semantics (I wasn't able to find a document clearly stating this or the opposite, though). And while allowing CHECKSUM_NONE in the UFO case would be more efficient, it would be a bit too intrusive change just to handle a corner case like this. Therefore disallowing UFO for packets from SOCK_DGRAM seems to be the best option. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
