tcp: do not mess with cloned skbs in tcp_add_backlog()
Heiner Kallweit reported that some skbs were sent with the following invalid GSO properties : - gso_size > 0 - gso_type == 0 This was triggerring a WARN_ON_ONCE() in rtl8169_tso_csum_v2. Juerg Haefliger was able to reproduce a similar issue using a lan78xx NIC and a workload mixing TCP incoming traffic and forwarded packets. The problem is that tcp_add_backlog() is writing over gso_segs and gso_size even if the incoming packet will not be coalesced to the backlog tail packet. While skb_try_coalesce() would bail out if tail packet is cloned, this overwriting would lead to corruptions of other packets cooked by lan78xx, sharing a common super-packet. The strategy used by lan78xx is to use a big skb, and split it into all received packets using skb_clone() to avoid copies. The drawback of this strategy is that all the small skb share a common struct skb_shared_info. This patch rewrites TCP gso_size/gso_segs handling to only happen on the tail skb, since skb_try_coalesce() made sure it was not cloned.
