[ Upstream commit 6b47808f223c70ff564f9b363446d2a5fa1e05b2 ] TLS records end with a 16B tag. For TLS device offload we only need to make space for this tag in the stream, the device will generate and replace it with the actual calculated tag. Long time ago the code would just re-reference the head frag which mostly worked but was suboptimal because it prevented TCP from combining the record into a single skb frag. I'm not sure if it was correct as the first frag may be shorter than the tag. The commit under fixes tried to replace that with using the page frag and if the allocation failed rolling back the data, if record was long enough. It achieves better fragment coalescing but is also buggy. We don't roll back the iterator, so unless we're at the end of send we'll skip the data we designated as tag and start the next record as if the rollback never happened. There's also the possibility that the record was constructed with MSG_MORE and the data came from a different syscall and we already told the user space that we "got it". Allocate a single dummy page and use it as fallback. Found by code inspection, and proven by forcing allocation failures.

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.
