From 636c2628086e40c86dac7ddc84a1c4b4fcccc6e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shmulik Ladkani Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 12:48:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: skbuff: Remove errornous length validation in skb_vlan_pop() In 93515d53b1 "net: move vlan pop/push functions into common code" skb_vlan_pop was moved from its private location in openvswitch to skbuff common code. In case skb has non hw-accel vlan tag, the original 'pop_vlan()' assured that skb->len is sufficient (if skb->len < VLAN_ETH_HLEN then pop was considered a no-op). This validation was moved as is into the new common 'skb_vlan_pop'. Alas, in its original location (openvswitch), there was a guarantee that 'data' points to the mac_header, therefore the 'skb->len < VLAN_ETH_HLEN' condition made sense. However there's no such guarantee in the generic 'skb_vlan_pop'. For short packets received in rx path going through 'skb_vlan_pop', this causes 'skb_vlan_pop' to fail pop-ing a valid vlan hdr (in the non hw-accel case) or to fail moving next tag into hw-accel tag. Remove the 'skb->len < VLAN_ETH_HLEN' condition entirely: It is superfluous since inner '__skb_vlan_pop' already verifies there are VLAN_ETH_HLEN writable bytes at the mac_header. Note this presents a slight change to skb_vlan_pop() users: In case total length is smaller than VLAN_ETH_HLEN, skb_vlan_pop() now returns an error, as opposed to previous "no-op" behavior. Existing callers (e.g. tc act vlan, ovs) usually drop the packet if 'skb_vlan_pop' fails.
