net: dsa: tag_ocelot: call only the relevant portion of __skb_vlan_pop() on TX
[ Upstream commit 0bcf2e4aca6c29a07555b713f2fb461dc38d5977 ]
ocelot_xmit_get_vlan_info() calls __skb_vlan_pop() as the most
appropriate helper I could find which strips away a VLAN header.
That's all I need it to do, but __skb_vlan_pop() has more logic, which
will become incompatible with the future revert of commit 6d1ccff62780
("net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()").
Namely, it performs a sanity check on skb_mac_header(), which will stop
being set after the above revert, so it will return an error instead of
removing the VLAN tag.
ocelot_xmit_get_vlan_info() gets called in 2 circumstances:
(1) the port is under a VLAN-aware bridge and the bridge sends
VLAN-tagged packets
(2) the port is under a VLAN-aware bridge and somebody else (an 8021q
upper) sends VLAN-tagged packets (using a VID that isn't in the
bridge vlan tables)
In case (1), there is actually no bug to defend against, because
br_dev_xmit() calls skb_reset_mac_header() and things continue to work.
However, in case (2), illustrated using the commands below, it can be
seen that our intervention is needed, since __skb_vlan_pop() complains:
$ ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 && ip link set br0 up
$ ip link set $eth master br0 && ip link set $eth up
$ ip link add link $eth name $eth.100 type vlan id 100 && ip link set $eth.100 up
$ ip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev $eth.100
I could fend off the checks in __skb_vlan_pop() with some
skb_mac_header_was_set() calls, but seeing how few callers of
__skb_vlan_pop() there are from TX paths, that seems rather
unproductive.
As an alternative solution, extract the bare minimum logic to strip a
VLAN header, and move it to a new helper named vlan_remove_tag(), close
to the definition of vlan_insert_tag(). Document it appropriately and
make ocelot_xmit_get_vlan_info() call this smaller helper instead.
Seeing that it doesn't appear illegal to test skb->protocol in the TX
path, I guess it would be a good for vlan_remove_tag() to also absorb
the vlan_set_encap_proto() function call.
