Daniel Borkmann 89e5c58fc1 net: Fix gro aggregation for udp encaps with zero csum
We noticed a GRO issue for UDP-based encaps such as vxlan/geneve when the
csum for the UDP header itself is 0. In that case, GRO aggregation does
not take place on the phys dev, but instead is deferred to the vxlan/geneve
driver (see trace below).

The reason is essentially that GRO aggregation bails out in udp_gro_receive()
for such case when drivers marked the skb with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (ice, i40e,
others) where for non-zero csums 2abb7cdc0d ("udp: Add support for doing
checksum unnecessary conversion") promotes those skbs to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
and napi context has csum_valid set. This is however not the case for zero
UDP csum (here: csum_cnt is still 0 and csum_valid continues to be false).

At the same time 57c67ff4bd ("udp: additional GRO support") added matches
on !uh->check ^ !uh2->check as part to determine candidates for aggregation,
so it certainly is expected to handle zero csums in udp_gro_receive(). The
purpose of the check added via 662880f442 ("net: Allow GRO to use and set
levels of checksum unnecessary") seems to catch bad csum and stop aggregation
right away.

One way to fix aggregation in the zero case is to only perform the !csum_valid
check in udp_gro_receive() if uh->check is infact non-zero.

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
