I saw there are tun updates on Dave's queue but none seemed to handle this.

I can't use current net-next
(799d2fff1858004526ad75d66a5dd8a5cce6ad40) on a kvm hypervisor
because tun got clogged somehow. Bisected down to:

commit e0b46d0ee9c240c7430a47e9b0365674d4a04522

Does this patch help?
Yay, it does! Works for me, thanks Herbert.
I didn't test performance, but dhcp could get through.

Are you sure about the Fixes tag? Because bisect really pointed to e0b46d0ee9c.

Cheers,

Subject: tun: Fix GSO meta-data handling in tun_get_user

When we write the GSO meta-data in tun_get_user we end up advancing
the IO vector twice, thus exhausting the user buffer before we can
finish writing the packet.
