[PATCH net-next 0/4] more virtio-net csum hardening

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Allowing untrusted hardware to specify csum start/offset for
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL was not a good idea, because, if it edits the packet
outside the actual checksum, and depending on the setup, the networking
stack could be looking at the packet both before and after the edit, and
seeing different results.

Previously, commit 6785011f8b16 ("ipv4: validate checksum_start before
completing checksum") validated all known instances where this
causes the most grief, but the real fix is to make sure
that either only actual checksum fields are ever edited,
or the checksum is completed before the net stack looks at it,
so it is always consistent.

This basically does this: checksum at ingress, except in a narrow list
of specified known good cases.

Fixes: f43798c27684 ("tun: Allow GSO using virtio_net_hdr")

Michael S. Tsirkin (4):
  net: add ip4_parse()
  net: use ip4_parse() in receive validation
  net: resolve uncommon partial checksums at ingress
  net: account for ingress-resolved virtio net hdr state
