+Subject: [PATCH] net: remove an assert call in eth_get_gso_type
+
+fix CVE-2020-27617
+
+eth_get_gso_type() routine returns segmentation offload type based on
+L3 protocol type. It calls g_assert_not_reached if L3 protocol is
+unknown, making the following return statement unreachable. Remove the
+g_assert call, it maybe triggered by a guest user.
