3.6.11.1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang [ Upstream commit da8c87241c26aac81a64c7e4d21d438a33018f4e ] There are two places to call vlan_set_encap_proto(): vlan_untag() and __pop_vlan_tci(). vlan_untag() assumes skb->data points after mac addr, otherwise the following code vhdr = (struct vlan_hdr *) skb->data; vlan_tci = ntohs(vhdr->h_vlan_TCI); __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan_tci); skb_pull_rcsum(skb, VLAN_HLEN); won't be correct. But __pop_vlan_tci() assumes points _before_ mac addr. In vlan_set_encap_proto(), it looks for some magic L2 value after mac addr: rawp = skb->data; if (*(unsigned short *) rawp == 0xFFFF) ... Therefore __pop_vlan_tci() is obviously wrong. A quick fix is avoiding using skb->data in vlan_set_encap_proto(), use 'vhdr+1' is always correct in both cases. Cc: David S.
