netfilter: xt_checksum: ignore gso skbs
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840619 Satish Patel reports a skb_warn_bad_offload() splat caused by -j CHECKSUM rules: -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j CHECKSUM The CHECKSUM target has never worked with GSO skbs, and the above rule makes no sense as kernel will handle checksum updates on transmit. Unfortunately, there are 3rd party tools that install such rules, so we cannot reject this from the config plane without potential breakage. Amend Kconfig text to clarify that the CHECKSUM target is only useful in virtualized environments, where old dhcp clients that use AF_PACKET used to discard UDP packets with a 'bad' header checksum and add a one-time warning in case such rule isn't restricted to UDP. v2: check IP6T_F_PROTO flag before cmp (Michal Kubecek) Reported-by: Satish Patel <satish.txt@gmail.com> Reported-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@suse.com> Reported-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> (backported from commit 10568f6c) [mruffell: minor context adjustment] Signed-off-by: Matthew Ruffell <matthew.ruffell@canonical.com> Acked-by: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@canonical.com> Acked-by: Connor Kuehl <connor.kuehl@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kleber Sacilotto de Souza <kleber.souza@canonical.com>
