From 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 17:17:22 -0700 Subject: tcp: limit payload size of sacked skbs Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash in tcp_shifted_skb() : BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) < pcount); This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48 An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC. This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs can overflow. Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled. SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.
