via-rhine: fix VLAN receive handling error in 4.2.x

[Andrej <andrej@ota.si>]

Hi,


via-rhine driver in 4.2.x kernels doesn’t correctly parse VLAN ID on receive. A bug was introduced in the commit 810f19bcb862f8889b27e0c9d9eceac9593925dd. All 4.2.x kernels are affected. 4.1.x and older kernels are not affected.

During code refactoring, the sequence of calls changed which introduced a regression. Original sequence was:
 1) Read TCI from skb->data
 2) Determine eth protocol using eth_type_trans (which calls skb_pull_inline)
 3) Write TCI to skb->vlan_tci

After the change, the sequence is:
 1) Determine protocol using eth_type_trans (which calls skb_pull_inline)
 2) Read TCI from skb->data
 3) Write TCI to skb->vlan_tci

Because eth_type_trans consumes ethernet header worth of bytes, a call to read TCI from packet no longer works as expected as it’s reading from invalid offset.

Choosing between changing rhine_get_vlan_tci(), which retrieves TCI from skb->data, or moving eth_type_trans() invocation after rhine_rx_vlan_tag(), I chose the latter.


Andrej.
