The root cause is:
1. skb->csum_start is set in packet_snd() according vnet_hdr:
skb->csum_start = skb_headroom(skb) + (u32)start;

'start' is the offset from skb->data, and mac header has been
set at this moment.

2. when this skb arrives ipvlan_process_outbound(), the mac header
is unset and skb_pull is called to expand the skb headroom.

3. In function skb_checksum_help(), the variable offset is calculated
as:
offset = skb->csum_start - skb_headroom(skb);

since skb headroom is expanded in step2, offset is nagetive, and it
is converted to an unsigned integer when compared with skb_headlen
and trigger the warning.

Not sure why it is negative ? This seems like the real problem...

csum_start is relative to skb->head, regardless of pull operations.

whatever set csum_start to a too small value should be tracked and fixed.

Right. The only way I could see it go negative is if something does
the equivalent of pskb_expand_head with positive nhead, and without
calling skb_headers_offset_update.

Perhaps the cause can be found by instrumenting all the above
functions in the trace to report skb_headroom and csum_start.
And also virtio_net_hdr_to_skb.

Hi, Eric and Willem, sorry for not describing this issue clearly enough. Here is the detailed data path:

1. Users call sendmsg() to send message with a AF_PACKET domain and SOCK_RAW type socket. Since vnet_hdr

is set, csum_start is calculated as:

skb->csum_start = skb_headroom(skb) + (u32)start; // see the following code.

the varible "start" it passed from user data, in my case it is 5 and skb_headroom is 2, so skb->csum_start is 7.

I think you are rephrasing, but you did not address my feedback.

Namely, "csum_start < skb->network_header" does not look sensical to me.

csum_start should be related to the transport header, not network header.

    csum_start is calculated in pakcet_snd() as:

               skb->csum_start = skb_headroom(skb) + (u32)start;

the varible "start" it passed from user data via vnet_hdr as follows:

packet_snd()
...
if (po->has_vnet_hdr) {
err = packet_snd_vnet_parse(msg, &len, &vnet_hdr); // get vnet_hdr which includes start
if (err)
goto out_unlock;
has_vnet_hdr = true;
}
...

csum_start should be at the transport header but users may pass an incorrect value.


If you fix a bug, please fix it completely, instead of leaving room
for future syzbot reports.

Also, your reference to ipvlan pulling a mac header is irrelevant to
this bug, and adds confusion.

That is because csum_start is relative to skb->head, not skb->data.
So ipvlan business does not change csum_start or skb->head.
