      [IPV4]: Clear skb cb on IP input · 53602f92
      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      when data arrives at IP through loopback (and possibly other devices).
So the field needs to be cleared before it confuses the route code.
This was seen when running netem over loopback, but there are probably
other device cases. Maybe this should go into stable?

      [NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trim · 27b437c8
      Herbert Xu authored 
      When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of
the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming.  This
will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length
or tail from the frag_list.

Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment.

Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet
with a frag_list attached.

It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure
that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list.  In
fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying
the data area of the skb.  For now though, let's do the conservative fix
and update frag_list.

Many thanks to Marco Berizzi for helping me to track down this bug.

This 4-year old bug took 3 months to track down.  Marco was very patient
indeed :)
