After commit 0f6925b3e8da ("virtio_net: Do not pull payload in skb->head") Guenter Roeck reported one failure in his tests using sh architecture. After much debugging, we have been able to spot silent unaligned accesses in inet_gro_receive() The issue at hand is that upper networking stacks assume their header is word-aligned. Low level drivers are supposed to reserve NET_IP_ALIGN bytes before the Ethernet header to make that happen. This patch hardens skb_gro_reset_offset() to not allow frag0 fast-path if the fragment is not properly aligned. Some arches like x86, arm64 and powerpc do not care and define NET_IP_ALIGN as 0, this extra check will be a NOP for them. Note that if frag0 is not used, GRO will call pskb_may_pull() as many times as needed to pull network and transport headers.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
