Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gso: do not skip outer ip header in case of ipip and net_failover We encounter a tcp drop issue in our cloud environment. Packet GROed in host forwards to a VM virtio_net nic with net_failover enabled. VM acts as a IPVS LB with ipip encapsulation. The full path like: host gro -> vm virtio_net rx -> net_failover rx -> ipvs fullnat -> ipip encap -> net_failover tx -> virtio_net tx When net_failover transmits a ipip pkt (gso_type = 0x0103, which means SKB_GSO_TCPV4, SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_IPXIP4), there is no gso did because it supports TSO and GSO_IPXIP4. But network_header points to inner ip header.
