Subject: [PATCH] net/packet: fix network header offset for non-VLAN raw packets on VLAN subinterfaces
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 16:57:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821085722.24036-1-zhangjn_dev@163.com> (raw)

From: Junnan Zhang <zhangjn11@chinatelecom.cn>

AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW reserves dev->hard_header_len bytes of headroom. For
VLAN subinterfaces, hard_header_len includes VLAN tag space (18 bytes)
while min_header_len is the real Ethernet header length (14 bytes). When
userspace sends a standard untagged Ethernet frame through a VLAN
subinterface, packet_parse_headers() only corrects network_header for
VLAN-tagged frames. For non-VLAN frames it leaves network_header at
hard_header_len, so the IP header is found 4 bytes too late and
inet_gso_segment() fails with -EINVAL.

Set network_header to min_header_len for non-VLAN SOCK_RAW frames on
Ethernet devices whose hard_header_len exceeds min_header_len, so the
L3/L4 header positions match the actual on-the-wire frame.

This fix is placed before skb_probe_transport_header() so that both the
transport header probe (which uses skb_network_offset() as nhoff) and
subsequent GSO see the right L3/L4 offsets. It complements
commit 01fdecc0480d ("net: packet: fix wrong transport_header when sending VLAN-tagged frame")
which only covers VLAN-tagged frames.
