Our customer encountered stuck NFS writes for blocks starting at specific offsets w.r.t. page boundary caused by networking stack sending packets via UFO enabled device with wrong checksum. The problem can be reproduced by composing a long UDP datagram from multiple parts using MSG_MORE flag: sendto(sd, buff, 1000, MSG_MORE, ...); sendto(sd, buff, 1000, MSG_MORE, ...); sendto(sd, buff, 3000, 0, ...); Assume this packet is to be routed via a device with MTU 1500 and NETIF_F_UFO enabled. When second sendto() gets into __ip_append_data(), this condition is tested (among others) to decide whether to call ip_ufo_append_data(): ((length + fragheaderlen) > mtu) || (skb && skb_is_gso(skb)) At the moment, we already have skb with 1028 bytes of data which is not marked for GSO so that the test is false (fragheaderlen is usually 20). Thus we append second 1000 bytes to this skb without invoking UFO. Third sendto(), however, has sufficient length to trigger the UFO path so that we end up with non-UFO skb followed by a UFO one. Later on, udp_send_skb() uses udp_csum() to calculate the checksum but that assumes all fragments have correct checksum in skb->csum which is not true for UFO fragments. When checking against MTU, we need to add skb->len to length of new segment if we already have a partially filled skb and fragheaderlen only if there isn't one. In the IPv6 case, skb can only be null if this is the first segment so that we have to use headersize (length of the first IPv6 header) rather than fragheaderlen (length of IPv6 header of further fragments) for skb == NULL.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
