Subject: net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6d1ccff627806829c46091bd9d9835302a3fbf5f;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()

On 64 bit arches :

There is a off-by-one error in qdisc_pkt_len_init() because
mac_header is not set in xmit path.

skb_mac_header() returns an out of bound value that was
harmless because hdr_len is an 'unsigned int'

On 32bit arches, the error is abysmal.

This patch is also a prereq for "macvlan: add multicast filter"
