Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/10] macvlan: do not assume mac header is set in macvlan_broadcast()
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 00:33:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902003344.1931843-8-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902003344.1931843-1-edumazet@google.com>
We should not assume mac header is set in output path.
Use skb_eth_hdr() instead of eth_hdr() to fix the issue,
and remove now redundant skb_reset_mac_header() call in macvlan_queue_xmit().
