4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@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.
