[PATCH 4.8 41/45] ipv4: Set skb->protocol properly for local output

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Eli Cooper <elicooper@xxxxxxx>

commit f4180439109aa720774baafdd798b3234ab1a0d2 upstream.

When xfrm is applied to TSO/GSO packets, it follows this path:

    xfrm_output() -> xfrm_output_gso() -> skb_gso_segment()

where skb_gso_segment() relies on skb->protocol to function properly.

This patch sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_IP before dst_output() is called,
fixing a bug where GSO packets sent through a sit tunnel are dropped
when xfrm is involved.
