3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2f1d8b9e8afa5a833d96afcd23abcb8cdf8d83ab ]
Brian reported crashes using IPv6 traffic with macvtap/veth combo.
I tracked the crashes in neigh_hh_output()
-> memcpy(skb->data - HH_DATA_MOD, hh->hh_data, HH_DATA_MOD);
Neighbour code assumes headroom to push Ethernet header is
at least 16 bytes.
It appears macvtap has only 14 bytes available on arches
where NET_IP_ALIGN is 0 (like x86)
Effect is a corruption of 2 bytes right before skb->head,
and possible crashes if accessing non existing memory.
This fix should also increase IPv4 performance, as paranoid code
in ip_finish_output2() wont have to call skb_realloc_headroom()
