[ Upstream commit 1cd354fe1e4864eeaff62f66ee513080ec946f20 ] In IPv6, ipv6_rcv_core will parse the hop-by-hop type extension header and increase skb->transport_header by one extension header length. But if there are more other extension headers like fragment header at this time, the skb->transport_header points to the second extension header, not the transport layer header or the first extension header. This will result in the start and nexthdrp variable not pointing to the same position in ipv6frag_thdr_trunced, and ipv6_skip_exthdr returning incorrect offset and frag_off.Sometimes,the length of the last sharded packet is smaller than the calculated incorrect offset, resulting in packet loss. We can use network header to offset and calculate the correct position to solve this problem.

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.
