[ 124/127] xen-netfront: reduce gso_max_size to account for max TCP header

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jun 05 2013 - 17:37:58 EST


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

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

From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9ecd1a75d977e2e8c48139c7d3efed183f898d94 upstream.

The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback
wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly.

Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535. This can 1) save the effort
to send malformed packet to netback, 2) help spotting misconfiguration of
netfront in the future.
