net: gro: Fix nesting of TCP GSO SKBs in skb_gro_receive_list()
Fraglist GRO and hardware GRO can create an fraglist of
HW-GRO packets. This cannot be segmented back into
the original form on TCP tethering scenario.
Avoid constructing such a GSO packet, by flushing an already
built fraglist GRO packet if a hardware GRO packet arrives.
Scenario (Tethering/Forwarding):
1.Driver submits a single TCP packet, P1. P1 is kept in the
gro_list as the first packet.
2. The driver submits a TCP GSO skb, P2. P2 has already aggregated
multiple TCP packets by HW_GRO, and its non-linear data is stored in
frags[].
3. P1 and P2 match the GRO rules, and since there is no local socket,
they are aggregated by skb_gro_receive_list(). The resulting skb,
P3, has a frag_list entry that still contains frags[]:
P3: [ Linear Data ] -> frag_list -> [ Linear Data ]
[ frag[1] ]
[ frag[2] ]
...
4. Later, tcp4_gso_segment() or tcp6_gso_segment() calls
skb_segment_list() to segment P3. However, skb_segment_list() only
segments the entries in frag_list. It does not segment the frags[]
inside P2, so P3 is not restored to the original packets, which leads
to IP fragmentation or packet drop in the following path.
Check skb_is_gso(skb) and current GRO method, make sure fraglist GRO
applies to consecutive non-GSO skb, others adopt regular GRO path.
