[ Upstream commit 9cfb5e7f0ded2bfaabc270ceb5f91d13f0e805b9 ] Following sequence in hsr_init_sk() is invalid : skb_reset_mac_header(skb); skb_reset_mac_len(skb); skb_reset_network_header(skb); skb_reset_transport_header(skb); It is invalid because skb_reset_mac_len() needs the correct network header, which should be after the mac header. This patch moves the skb_reset_network_header() and skb_reset_transport_header() before the call to dev_hard_header(). As a result skb->mac_len is no longer set to a value close to 65535.
