Slava Shwartsman reported a warning in skb_try_coalesce(), when we detect skb->truesize is completely wrong. In his case, issue came from IPv6 reassembly coping with malicious datagrams, that forced various pskb_may_pull() to reallocate a bigger skb->head than the one allocated by NIC driver before entering GRO layer. Current code does not change skb->truesize, leaving this burden to callers if they care enough. Blindly changing skb->truesize in pskb_expand_head() is not easy, as some producers might track skb->truesize, for example in xmit path for back pressure feedback (sk->sk_wmem_alloc) We can detect the cases where it should be safe to change skb->truesize : 1) skb is not attached to a socket. 2) If it is attached to a socket, destructor is sock_edemux() My audit gave only two callers doing their own skb->truesize manipulation. I had to remove skb parameter in sock_edemux macro when CONFIG_INET is not set to avoid a compile error.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
