Without our patches drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/ builds
cleanly. Gotta be the new W=1 filed overflow warnings, let's bother
Kees.

I believe this is the code in question:

@@ -379,15 +393,36 @@ mlx5e_sq_xmit_wqe(struct mlx5e_txqsq *sq, struct sk_buff *skb,

+		u8 *start = eseg->inline_hdr.start;
+
+		if (unlikely(attr->hopbyhop)) {
+			/* remove the HBH header.
+			 * Layout: [Ethernet header][IPv6 header][HBH][TCP header]
+			 */
+			if (skb_vlan_tag_present(skb)) {
+				mlx5e_insert_vlan(start, skb, ETH_HLEN + sizeof(*h6));

Unhappiness #1 ^^^

Where mlx5e_insert_vlan() is:

static inline void mlx5e_insert_vlan(void *start, struct sk_buff *skb, u16 ihs)
{
	struct vlan_ethhdr *vhdr = (struct vlan_ethhdr *)start;
	int cpy1_sz = 2 * ETH_ALEN;
	int cpy2_sz = ihs - cpy1_sz;

	memcpy(&vhdr->addrs, skb->data, cpy1_sz);
	vhdr->h_vlan_proto = skb->vlan_proto;
	vhdr->h_vlan_TCI = cpu_to_be16(skb_vlan_tag_get(skb));
	memcpy(&vhdr->h_vlan_encapsulated_proto, skb->data + cpy1_sz, cpy2_sz);
}

indeed ihs == ETH_HLEN + sizeof(*h6) will make cpy2_sz come out as something
much bigger than the vhdr->h_vlan_encapsulated_proto field.

+				ihs += VLAN_HLEN;
+				h6 = (struct ipv6hdr *)(start + sizeof(struct vlan_ethhdr));
+			} else {
+				memcpy(start, skb->data, ETH_HLEN + sizeof(*h6));

Unhappiness #2 ^^^

Again, ETH_HLEN + sizeof(*h6) will be larger than eseg->inline_hdr.start
which is what start is pointing at.

+				h6 = (struct ipv6hdr *)(start + ETH_HLEN);
+			}

I didn't look where #3 is.
