Subject: qmi_wwan: Add missing skb_reset_mac_header-call
From: Kristian Evensen <kristian.evensen@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 0de0add10e587effa880c741c9413c874f16be91 ]
When we receive a packet on a QMI device in raw IP mode, we should call
skb_reset_mac_header() to ensure that skb->mac_header contains a valid
offset in the packet. While it shouldn't really matter, the packets have
no MAC header and the interface is configured as-such, it seems certain
parts of the network stack expects a "good" value in skb->mac_header.
Without the skb_reset_mac_header() call added in this patch, for example
shaping traffic (using tc) triggers the following oops on the first
received packet:

While the oops is for a 4.9-kernel, I was able to trigger the same oops with
net-next as of yesterday.
