Linux kernel source tree
2022d70401
The ovpn_netdev_write() function is responsible for injecting
decapsulated and decrypted packets back into the local network stack.
Prior to this patch, the skb could retain GSO metadata from the outer,
encrypted tunnel packet. This original GSO metadata, relevant to the
sender's transport context, becomes invalid and misleading for the
tunnel/data path once the inner packet is exposed.
Leaving this stale metadata intact causes internal GSO validation checks
further down the kernel's network stack (validate_xmit_skb()) to fail,
leading to packet drops. The reasons for these failures vary by
protocol, for example:
- for ICMP, no offload handler is registered;
- for TCP and UDP, the respective offload handlers return errors when
comparing skb->len to the outdated skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size.
By calling skb_gso_reset(skb) we ensure the inner packet is presented to
gro_cells_receive() with a clean state, correctly indicating it is an
individual packet from the perspective of the local stack.
This change eliminates the "Driver has suspect GRO implementation, TCP
performance may be compromised" warning and improves overall TCP
performance by allowing GSO/GRO to function as intended on the
decapsulated traffic.

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 reStructuredText 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.
