Subject: [PATCH v4 net 1/2] net: vlan: always set hard_header_len with VLAN_HLEN
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:04:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126040426.2570396-2-chenzhen126@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260126040426.2570396-1-chenzhen126@huawei.com>
When tx-vlan-hw-insert is toggled to on, vlan device hard_header_len
will be reduced to dev->hard_header_len since commit 029f5fc31cdb
("8021q: set hard_header_len when VLAN offload features are toggled"),
but the header_ops remains unchanged, ndisc skb will be allocated
with this len and filled in vlan hdr in vlan_dev_hard_header(), but
with reorder_hdr off, the skb room is not enough so it triggers
skb_panic() as below:
skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffffa0535126 len:90 put:14
head:ffff916c04232ec0 data:ffff916c04232ebe tail:0x58 end:0x180 dev:veth0.10

In case of possible crash from other callers, fix this by always
reserving VLAN_HLEN in hard_header_len even if the header_ops would
not request it.
