[ Upstream commit 04c20a9356f283da623903e81e7c6d5df7e4dc3c ]
As documented in skbuff.h, devices with NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM capability
can only checksum TCP and UDP over IPv6 if the IP header does not
contains extension.
This is enforced for UDP packets emitted from user-space to an IPv6
address as they go through ip6_make_skb(), which calls
__ip6_append_data() where a check is done on the header size before
setting CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
But the introduction of UDP encapsulation with fou6 added a code-path
where it is possible to get an skb with a partial UDP checksum and an
IPv6 header with extension:
* fou6 adds a UDP header with a partial checksum if the inner packet
does not contains a valid checksum.
* ip6_tunnel adds an IPv6 header with a destination option extension
header if encap_limit is non-zero (the default value is 4).
The thread linked below describes in more details how to reproduce the
problem with GRE-in-UDP tunnel.
Add a check on the network header size in skb_csum_hwoffload_help() to
make sure no IPv6 packet with extension header is handed to a network
device with NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM capability.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
