If I am reading the code correctly, it looks like
inet_proto_csum_replace16 is called from
{tcp,dccp,tcp.udp,udplite}_manip_pkt via l3proto->csum_update which is
a call to nf_nat_ipv6_csum_update for IPv6. So for these protocols
when the transport checksum is updated skb->csum is also correctly
updated. For other protocols or when UDP checksum is zero or for
fragments-- I don't see where skb->csum is being properly updated.
This potentially seems to be a major bug.I would suggest: 1) Modify the inet_proto_csum_replace* routines to check for NULL check pointer and and only write it when non-NULL 2) Call l3proto->csum_update from unknown_manip_pkt with check == NULL 3) In udp_manip_pkt call l3proto->csum_update with check = NULL when UDP checksum is zero 4) For IPv6 fragments call l3proto->csum_update with check = NULL Tom > -- > Maxime > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
