4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9114daa825fc3f335f9bea3313ce667090187280 upstream. The caller of ndo_start_xmit may not already have called skb_reset_mac_header. The returned value of skb_mac_header/eth_hdr therefore can be in the wrong position and even outside the current skbuff. This for example happens when the user binds to the device using a PF_PACKET-SOCK_RAW with enabled qdisc-bypass: int opt = 4; setsockopt(sock, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, &opt, sizeof(opt)); Since eth_hdr is used all over the codebase, the batadv_interface_tx function must always take care of resetting it.
