This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled veth: Ensure eth header is in skb's linear part to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: veth-ensure-eth-header-is-in-skb-s-linear-part.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 82690036eadaf5650c6a1ca5bc39fd003e4a7fac Author: Guillaume Nault <gnault@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 6 16:18:54 2022 +0200 veth: Ensure eth header is in skb's linear part [ Upstream commit 726e2c5929de841fdcef4e2bf995680688ae1b87 ] After feeding a decapsulated packet to a veth device with act_mirred, skb_headlen() may be 0. But veth_xmit() calls __dev_forward_skb(), which expects at least ETH_HLEN byte of linear data (as __dev_forward_skb2() calls eth_type_trans(), which pulls ETH_HLEN bytes unconditionally). Use pskb_may_pull() to ensure veth_xmit() respects this constraint. kernel BUG at include/linux/skbuff.h:2328!
