From: Kurt Kanzenbach <kurt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9d6803921a16f4d768dc41a75375629828f4d91e upstream. Reset MAC header in HSR Tx path. This is needed, because direct packet transmission, e.g. by specifying PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS does not reset the MAC header. This has been observed using the following setup: |$ ip link add name hsr0 type hsr slave1 lan0 slave2 lan1 supervision 45 version 1 |$ ifconfig hsr0 up |$ ./test hsr0 The test binary is using mmap'ed sockets and is specifying the PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option. This patch resolves the following warning on a non-patched kernel: |[ 112.725394] ------------[ cut here ]------------ |[ 112.731418] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 257 at net/hsr/hsr_forward.c:560 hsr_forward_skb+0x484/0x568 |[ 112.739962] net/hsr/hsr_forward.c:560: Malformed frame (port_src hsr0) The warning can be safely removed, because the other call sites of hsr_forward_skb() make sure that the skb is prepared correctly.
