[PATCH] Fixed zero copy GSO without orphaning the fragments

From: Igor Royzis
Date: Tue May 20 2014 - 07:24:40 EST


Fix accessing GSO fragments memory (and a possible corruption therefore) after
reporting completion in a zero copy callback. The previous fix in the commit 1fd819ec
orphaned frags which eliminates zero copy advantages. The fix makes the completion
called after all the fragments were processed avoiding unnecessary orphaning/copying
from userspace.

The GSO fragments corruption issue was observed in a typical QEMU/KVM VM setup that
hosts a Windows guest (since QEMU virtio-net Windows driver doesn't support GRO).
The fix has been verified by running the HCK OffloadLSO test.
