[PATCH net 2/2] net/af_packet: fix tx skb network header on SOCK_RAW sockets over VLAN device

From: Hervé Boisse
Date: Tue Jan 10 2023 - 14:37:32 EST


When an application sends a packet on a SOCK_RAW socket over a VLAN device,
there is a possibility that the skb network header is incorrectly set.

The issue happens when the device used to send the packet is a VLAN device
whose underlying device has no VLAN tx hardware offloading support.
In that case, the VLAN driver reports a LL header size increased by 4 bytes
to take into account the tag that will be added in software.

However, the socket user has no clue about that and still provides a normal
LL header without tag.
This results in the network header of the skb being shifted 4 bytes too far
in the packet. This shift makes tc classifiers fail as they point to
incorrect data.

Move network header right after underlying VLAN device LL header size
without tag, regardless of hardware offloading support. That is, the
expected LL header size from socket user.
