net: skip offload for NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM if ipv6 header contains extension
As documented in skbuff.h, devices with NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM capability
can only checksum TCP and UDP over IPv6 if the IP header does not
contains extension.
This is enforced for UDP packets emitted from user-space to an IPv6
address as they go through ip6_make_skb(), which calls
__ip6_append_data() where a check is done on the header size before
setting CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
But the introduction of UDP encapsulation with fou6 added a code-path
where it is possible to get an skb with a partial UDP checksum and an
IPv6 header with extension:
* fou6 adds a UDP header with a partial checksum if the inner packet
does not contains a valid checksum.
* ip6_tunnel adds an IPv6 header with a destination option extension
header if encap_limit is non-zero (the default value is 4).
The thread linked below describes in more details how to reproduce the
problem with GRE-in-UDP tunnel.
Add a check on the network header size in skb_csum_hwoffload_help() to
make sure no IPv6 packet with extension header is handed to a network
device with NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM capability.
