Re: [PATCH net] net: drop bad gso csum_start and offset in virtio_net_hdr

Hello,

My colleague Mathieu already submitted the tested patch here https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20240806122236.60183-1-mathieu.tortuyaux@gmail.com/T/#u (local).

Links to Flatcar patch and test run:

  * https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2194/commits/33259937abe19f612faac255706d5a509666fbc9
  * https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/actions/runs/10251425081

But this patch has been tested and submitted only for the 6.6.y branch.

It will take some time to properly test the 6.1.y, as Flatcar is going to be fully upgraded on all channels to 6.6.y, but I will come back with the patch and test results.

Thanks, Adrian.

Hello,

This patch needs to be backported to the stable 6.1.x and 6.64.x branches, as the initial patch https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e269d79c7d35aa3808b1f3c1737d63dab504ddc8 was backported a few days ago: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/include/linux/virtio_net.h?h=3Dv6.1.103&id=3D5b1997487a3f3373b0f580c8a20b56c1b64b0775
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/include/linux/virtio_net.h?h=3Dv6.6.44&id=3D90d41ebe0cd4635f6410471efc1dd71b33e894cf

Please provide a working backport, the change does not properly
cherry-pick.
