Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/7] um: vector: trim skbs before verifying the header
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 08:41:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d9ac3420f95c5953227d80c71ebc3cd7e3c5fd9c.1792067836.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1792067836.git.mst@redhat.com>
The vector receive path over-allocates the skb and only trims it
to the received length after the transport header is verified.
A follow up patch will complete the packet checksum in software within
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb so we need the packet trimmed (otherwise the
checksum would be computed incorrectly over the unreceived tail of the
buffer).
Trim first, so the import sees the packet as it was received.
