Subject: bug in ixgbe_atr
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 18:44:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161014014422.GA14253@oracle.com> (raw)

When I was playing around with TPACKET_V2, I think I ran
into a bug in ixgbe_atr(): if I get here with an 
sk_buff that has, e.g., just 14 bytes in the header, then 
the skb_network_header is invalid. I found my kernel sometimes
wandering off into  ipv6_find_hdr() in an attempt to get the 
l4_proto, and then complaining that "IPv6 header not found\n"
(this was an ipv4 packet). 

I think we want to use skb_header_pointer in ixgbe_atr to get 
the network header itself.. I tried the patch below, and it 
works for simple (non-vlan, basic) ethernet header, but probably
needs more refinement to work for more complex encapsulations?

And other drivers may need a similar fix too, I've not checked yet.
