Subject: [PATCH] net/core:  Allow tagged VLAN packets to flow through VETH devices.
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 11:35:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1287167705-28583-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)

When there are VLANs on a VETH device, the packets being transmitted
through the VETH device may be 4 bytes bigger than MTU.  A check
in dev_forward_skb did not take this into account and so dropped
these packets.

This patch is needed at least as far back as 2.6.34.7 and should
be considered for -stable.
