Subject: gro: Only reset frag0 when skb can be pulled
From: Herbert Xu <[email protected]>
commit 17dd759c67f21e34f2156abcf415e1f60605a188 upstream.
Currently skb_gro_header_slow unconditionally resets frag0 and
frag0_len. However, when we can't pull on the skb this leaves
the GRO fields in an inconsistent state.
This patch fixes this by only resetting those fields after the
pskb_may_pull test.
