Do you have a particular use case for the BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS?The complaint from Maze (and others) were that when skb_is_gso then all the MTU checks are bypassed. This flag enables checking the GSO part via skb_gso_validate_network_len(). We cannot enable it per default, as you say, it is universally correct in all cases.If there is a desire to have access to the skb_gso_validate_network_len(), I'd keep that behind the flag then, but would drop the skb_headlen(skb) + len_diff case given the mentioned case on rx where it would yield misleading results to users that might be unintuitive & hard to debug.
Okay, I will update the patch, and drop those lines.

I also don't see the flag being used anywhere in your selftests, so I presume not as otherwise you would have added an example there?I'm using the flag in the bpf-examples code[1], this is how I've tested the code path. I've not found a way to generate GSO packet via the selftests infrastructure via bpf_prog_test_run_xattr(). I'm [1] https://github.com/xdp-project/bpf-examples/blob/master/MTU-tests/tc_mtu_enforce.cHaven't checked but likely something as prog_tests/skb_ctx.c might not be sufficient to pass it into the helper. For real case you might need a netns + veth setup like some of the other tests are doing and then generating TCP stream from one end to the other.
I have looked at prog_tests/skb_ctx.c and (as you say yourself) this is not sufficient. I can look into creating a netns+veth setup, but I will appreciate if we can merge this patchset to make forward progress, as I'm sure the netns+veth setup will require its own round of nitpicking. I have created netns+veth test scripts before (see test_xdp_vlan.sh), but my experience is that people/maintainers forget/don't to run these separate shell scripts. Thus, if I create a netns+veth test, then I will prefer if I can integrate this into the "test_progs", as I know that will be run by people/maintainers. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
