[PATCH 3.16 204/217] macvtap: always pass ethernet header in linear

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 20:19:05 EST


3.16.35-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8e2ad4113ce4671686740f808ff2795395c39eef ]

The stack expects link layer headers in the skb linear section.
Macvtap can create skbs with llheader in frags in edge cases:
when (IFF_VNET_HDR is off or vnet_hdr.hdr_len < ETH_HLEN) and
prepad + len > PAGE_SIZE and vnet_hdr.flags has no or bad csum.

Add checks to ensure linear is always at least ETH_HLEN.
At this point, len is already ensured to be >= ETH_HLEN.

For backwards compatiblity, rounds up short vnet_hdr.hdr_len.
This differs from tap and packet, which return an error.

Fixes b9fb9ee07e67 ("macvtap: add GSO/csum offload support")
