Hi,
Please consider applying (or droping).
Thank you.
Description: This patch prevent drivers from calling eth_header with a 802.3
frame using a len>1536. In such a case returns -EINVAL, which was hard to
choose because the ETH_HLEN is supposed to return.

Why? Won't this break for jumbo frames?

True, I completely forgot about it, I was having problems with a driver and I
though this would be a correct approach for size violation avoidance, but I
guess it doesn't have much sense to change len >= 1536 by the 9000 of a jumbo
packet, sorry.

Jumbo Frames can be upto 16k.

Won't this break jumbo frames?
