3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4e48ed883c72e78c5a910f8831ffe90c9b18f0ec ] netlink doesn't set any network header offset thus when the skb is being passed to tap devices via dev_queue_xmit_nit(), it emits klog false positives due to it being unset like: ... [ 124.990397] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0 [ 124.990411] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0 ... So just reset the network header before passing to the device; for packet sockets that just means nothing will change - mac and net offset hold the same value just as before.
