When running a mlx4_en ethernet on a KVM guest, the LRO implementation could cause the host to segfault under certain conditions (found in IBM testing). This patch resolves that issue. Patch provided by bugzilla reporter and is what upstream used to resolve the issue, reviewed, built locally, and tested by me. commit 0521f9debc3bb39ac898d2b7687888f52f5148a4 Author: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jul 16 12:49:49 2009 -0400 [mlx4_en] Fix problem with LRO that segfaults KVM host Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> diff --git a/drivers/net/mlx4/en_lro.c b/drivers/net/mlx4/en_lro.c index 6a9e897..a987b21 100644 --- a/drivers/net/mlx4/en_lro.c +++ b/drivers/net/mlx4/en_lro.c @@ -133,6 +133,7 @@ static void mlx4_en_lro_flush_single(struct mlx4_en_priv* priv, skb->data_len = lro->tot_len - headlen; skb->truesize = skb->len + sizeof(struct sk_buff); skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size = lro->mss; + skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type |= SKB_GSO_TCPV4; #ifdef CONFIG_MLX4_EN_DEBUG_LRO mlx4_en_lro_validate(priv, lro);
