[PATCH 4.9 11/84] ipv4: better IP_MAX_MTU enforcement

Show all headers | View raw

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit c780a049f9bf442314335372c9abc4548bfe3e44 ]

While working on yet another syzkaller report, I found
that our IP_MAX_MTU enforcements were not properly done.

gcc seems to reload dev->mtu for min(dev->mtu, IP_MAX_MTU), and
final result can be bigger than IP_MAX_MTU :/

This is a problem because device mtu can be changed on other cpus or
threads.

While this patch does not fix the issue I am working on, it is
probably worth addressing it.
