Revision 1d325d217c7f190a42fb620ead20bb240fc16af0 authored by Florian Westphal on 16 September 2015, 15:26:14 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 18 September 2015, 04:36:15 UTC
David Woodhouse reports skb_under_panic when we try to push ethernet
header to fragmented ipv6 skbs:

 skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:c1277f1e len:1294 put:14 head:dec98000
 data:dec97ffc tail:0xdec9850a end:0xdec98f40 dev:br-lan
[..]
ip6_finish_output2+0x196/0x4da

David further debugged this:
  [..] offending fragments were arriving here with skb_headroom(skb)==10.
  Which is reasonable, being the Solos ADSL card's header of 8 bytes
  followed by 2 bytes of PPP frame type.

The problem is that if netfilter ipv6 defragmentation is used, skb_cow()
in ip6_forward will only see reassembled skb.

Therefore, headroom is overestimated by 8 bytes (we pulled fragment
header) and we don't check the skbs in the frag_list either.

We can't do these checks in netfilter defrag since outdev isn't known yet.

Furthermore, existing tests in ip6_fragment did not consider the fragment
or ipv6 header size when checking headroom of the fraglist skbs.

While at it, also fix a skb leak on memory allocation -- ip6_fragment
must consume the skb.

I tested this e1000 driver hacked to not allocate additional headroom
(we end up in slowpath, since LL_RESERVED_SPACE is 16).

If 2 bytes of headroom are allocated, fastpath is taken (14 byte
ethernet header was pulled, so 16 byte headroom available in all
fragments).
