====================
net: udp: fix Fast/frag0 UDP GRO

While testing UDP GSO fraglists forwarding through driver that uses
Fast GRO (via napi_gro_frags()), I was observing lots of out-of-order
iperf packets:

[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Jitter
[SUM]  0.0-40.0 sec  12106 datagrams received out-of-order

Simple switch to napi_gro_receive() or any other method without frag0
shortcut completely resolved them.

I've found two incorrect header accesses in GRO receive callback(s):
 - udp_hdr() (instead of udp_gro_udphdr()) that always points to junk
   in "fast" mode and could probably do this in "regular".
   This was the actual bug that caused all out-of-order delivers;
 - udp{4,6}_lib_lookup_skb() -> ip{,v6}_hdr() (instead of
   skb_gro_network_header()) that potentionally might return odd
   pointers in both modes.

Each patch addresses one of these two issues.

This doesn't cover a support for nested tunnels as it's out of the
subject and requires more invasive changes. It will be handled
separately in net-next series.

Since v4 [0]:
 - split the fix into two logical ones (Willem);
 - replace ternaries with plain ifs to beautify the code (Jakub);
 - drop p->data part to reintroduce it later in abovementioned set.

Since v3 [1]:
 - restore the original {,__}udp{4,6}_lib_lookup_skb() and use
   private versions of them inside GRO code (Willem).

Since v2 [2]:
 - dropped redundant check introduced in v2 as it's performed right
   before (thanks to Eric);
 - udp_hdr() switched to data + off for skbs from list (also Eric);
 - fixed possible malfunction of {,__}udp{4,6}_lib_lookup_skb() with
   Fast/frag0 due to ip{,v6}_hdr() usage (Willem).

Since v1 [3]:
 - added a NULL pointer check for "uh" as suggested by Willem.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
