From a0a69a0106dab8d20596f97f6674bed3b394d1ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:34:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] gro: Fix use after free in tcp_gro_receive After calling skb_gro_receive skb->len can no longer be relied on since if the skb was merged using frags, then its pages will have been removed and the length reduced. This caused tcp_gro_receive to prematurely end merging which resulted in suboptimal performance with ixgbe. The fix is to store skb->len on the stack.
