[PATCH 4.12 14/99] ipv4: better IP_MAX_MTU enforcement

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 28 2017 - 05:24:12 EST


4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit c780a049f9bf442314335372c9abc4548bfe3e44 ]

While working on yet another syzkaller report, I found
that our IP_MAX_MTU enforcements were not properly done.

gcc seems to reload dev->mtu for min(dev->mtu, IP_MAX_MTU), and
final result can be bigger than IP_MAX_MTU :/

This is a problem because device mtu can be changed on other cpus or
threads.

While this patch does not fix the issue I am working on, it is
probably worth addressing it.
