[PATCH net] virtio-net: drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST

From: Jason Wang <hidden>
Date: 2015-08-04 09:55:53

virtio declares support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, but assumes
that there are at most MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 fragments which isn't
always true with a fraglist.

A longer fraglist in the skb will make the call to skb_to_sgvec overflow
the sg array, leading to memory corruption.

Drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST so we only get what we can handle.

Especially important now that virtio_net: add gro capability
was merged for net-next, making bridged setups create fraglists.

Ok, will fix this in V2.
