ipv6: avoid atomic fragment on GSO packets
stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.299 commit c9faed4c8c975f941bad8a47d75759e1c397158e category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8MCB5 CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=c9faed4c8c975f941bad8a47d75759e1c397158e -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 03d6c848bfb406e9ef6d9846d759e97beaeea113 ] When the ipv6 stack output a GSO packet, if its gso_size is larger than dst MTU, then all segments would be fragmented. However, it is possible for a GSO packet to have a trailing segment with smaller actual size than both gso_size as well as the MTU, which leads to an "atomic fragment". Atomic fragments are considered harmful in RFC-8021. An Existing report from APNIC also shows that atomic fragments are more likely to be dropped even it is equivalent to a no-op [1]. Add an extra check in the GSO slow output path. For each segment from the original over-sized packet, if it fits with the path MTU, then avoid generating an atomic fragment.
