4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Daniel Borkmann <dan...@iogearbox.net> [ Upstream commit 8fd6c80d9dd938ca338c70698533a7e304752846 ] We concluded that the skb_probe_transport_header() should better be called unconditionally. Avoiding the call into the flow dissector has also not really much to do with the direct xmit mode. While it seems that only virtio_net code makes use of GSO from non RX/TX ring packet socket paths, we should probe for a transport header nevertheless before they hit devices.
