From: Sheng Lan <redacted> It can be reproduced by following steps: 1. virtio_net NIC is configured with gso/tso on 2. configure nginx as http server with an index file bigger than 1M bytes 3. use tc netem to produce duplicate packets and delay: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms 10ms 30% duplicate 90% 4. continually curl the nginx http server to get index file on client 5. BUG_ON is seen quickly
...
In __skb_to_sgvec(), the skb->len is not equal to the sum of the skb's
linear data size and nonlinear data size, thus BUG_ON triggered.
Because the skb is cloned and a part of nonlinear data is split off.
Duplicate packet is cloned in netem_enqueue() and may be delayed
some time in qdisc. When qdisc len reached the limit and returns
NET_XMIT_DROP, the skb will be retransmit later in write queue.
the skb will be fragmented by tso_fragment(), the limit size
that depends on cwnd and mss decrease, the skb's nonlinear
data will be split off. The length of the skb cloned by netem
will not be updated. When we use virtio_net NIC and invoke skb_to_sgvec(),
the BUG_ON trigger.
To fix it, netem returns NET_XMIT_SUCCESS to upper stack
when it clones a duplicate packet.
