The patch adds a pre-check to tcp_gro_receive() so that an skb which
cannot be pulled up to the GRO offset is flushed instead of reaching the
BUG() in __skb_pull(). Upstream has since fixed the same bug inside the
callee, which leaves the pre-check with nothing to protect:
commit f2bb3434544454099a5b6dec213567267b05d79d
("net: add pskb_may_pull() to skb_gro_receive_list()")
skb_gro_receive_list() now rejects the short skb itself and pulls with
skb_pull() rather than the __skb_pull() that carries the BUG(). It is
the only function the is_flist branch of tcp_gro_receive() calls, so no
path is left uncovered. The fix is present in both pinned kernels,
6.12.100 and 6.18.41.
Dropping the pre-check also restores upstream's intended handling: on
failure skb_gro_receive_list() sets NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush, so the skb
is delivered through the normal receive path instead of being held as a
new GRO head. Short-circuiting on the local flush skipped that.
The patch keeps applying cleanly only because the fix landed in a
different function.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.8+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
