How are you testing the behavior, and who reported the issues / what prompted

pushing down the linux-stable pipe. They don't look all that obvious, so
I still think that having selftests would help.

I agree with Vladimir, this looks quite a bit too complex for a net fix
at this late point of the cycle. Given the period of the year, I think
it could be too late even for net-next - for this cycle.


Would it be better to just submit into net-next and target for the next cycle ? I'm okay with that.

It would be great if you could add some self-tests.

@Faizal: I understand your setup is quite complex, but it would be
great if you could come-up with something similar that could fit
tools/testing/selftests/net

Thanks!

Ohh my bad, I thought selftest is just to develop and run the test case locally, but it seems that it also refers to integrating it into the existing selftest framework ?
Got it. I'll explore that and cover extension/truncation cases.
