Linux kernel source tree

The referenced commit drops bad input, but has false positives.
Tighten the check to avoid these.
The check detects illegal checksum offload requests, which produce
csum_start/csum_off beyond end of packet after segmentation.
But it is based on two incorrect assumptions:
1. virtio_net_hdr_to_skb with VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCP[46] implies GSO.
True in callers that inject into the tx path, such as tap.
But false in callers that inject into rx, like virtio-net.
Here, the flags indicate GRO, and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY or
CHECKSUM_NONE without VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM is normal.
2. TSO requires checksum offload, i.e., ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
False, as tcp[46]_gso_segment will fix up csum_start and offset for
all other ip_summed by calling __tcp_v4_send_check.
Because of 2, we can limit the scope of the fix to virtio_net_hdr
that do try to set these fields, with a bogus value.

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.
