batman-adv: Don't skb_split skbuffs with frag_list
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit a063f2f ]

The receiving interface might have used GRO to receive more fragments than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments. In this case, these will not be stored in
skb_shinfo(skb)->frags but merged into the frag list.

batman-adv relies on the function skb_split to split packets up into
multiple smaller packets which are not larger than the MTU on the outgoing
interface. But this function cannot handle frag_list entries and is only
operating on skb_shinfo(skb)->frags. If it is still trying to split such an
skb and xmit'ing it on an interface without support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST,
then validate_xmit_skb() will try to linearize it. But this fails due to
inconsistent information. And __pskb_pull_tail will trigger a BUG_ON after
skb_copy_bits() returns an error.

In case of entries in frag_list, just linearize the skb before operating on
it with skb_split().
