Eric Dumazet 27cf5410a9 tcp: ensure skb->dev is NULL before leaving TCP stack
[ Upstream commit b738a185be ]

skb->rbnode is sharing three skb fields : next, prev, dev

When a packet is sent, TCP keeps the original skb (master)
in a rtx queue, which was converted to rbtree a while back.

__tcp_transmit_skb() is responsible to clone the master skb,
and add the TCP header to the clone before sending it
to network layer.

skb_clone() already clears skb->next and skb->prev, but copies
the master oskb->dev into the clone.

We need to clear skb->dev, otherwise lower layers could interpret
the value as a pointer to a netdev.

This old bug surfaced recently when commit 28f8bfd1ac
("netfilter: Support iif matches in POSTROUTING") was merged.

Before this netfilter commit, skb->dev value was ignored and
changed before reaching dev_queue_xmit()

Fixes: 28f8bfd1ac ("netfilter: Support iif matches in POSTROUTING")

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.
