Subject: net/sched: act_vlan: Push skb->data to mac_header prior calling skb_vlan_*() functions
From: Shmulik Ladkani <shmulik.ladkani@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f39acc84aad10710e89835c60d3b6694c43a8dd9 ]
Generic skb_vlan_push/skb_vlan_pop functions don't properly handle the
case where the input skb data pointer does not point at the mac header:
- They're doing push/pop, but fail to properly unwind data back to its
original location.
For example, in the skb_vlan_push case, any subsequent
'skb_push(skb, skb->mac_len)' calls make the skb->data point 4 bytes
BEFORE start of frame, leading to bogus frames that may be transmitted.
- They update rcsum per the added/removed 4 bytes tag.
Alas if data is originally after the vlan/eth headers, then these
bytes were already pulled out of the csum.
OTOH calling skb_vlan_push/skb_vlan_pop with skb->data at mac_header
present no issues.
act_vlan is the only caller to skb_vlan_*() that has skb->data pointing
at network header (upon ingress).
Other calles (ovs, bpf) already adjust skb->data at mac_header.
This patch fixes act_vlan to point to the mac_header prior calling
skb_vlan_*() functions, as other callers do.
