Subject: [PATCH net] net: vlan: set header_ops to match hard_header_len when hw offload is toggled
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2025 11:54:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251231035419.23422-1-chenzhen126@huawei.com> (raw)

We found a skb_panic in vlan_dev_hard_header():

skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffff95b33e66 len:90 put:14 head:ffff915ac1967440 data:ffff915ac196743e tail:0x58 end:0x180 dev:br0.10

This bug can be easily reproduced by these steps:

 ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
 ip link set veth0 up
 ip link set veth1 up
 ethtool -K veth0 tx-vlan-hw-insert off
 # vlandev.header_ops = vlan_header_ops, hard_header_len = 18(hard_header_len + VLAN_HLEN)
 ip link add link veth0 name veth0.10 type vlan id 10 reorder_hdr off
 ip addr add 192.168.10.1/24 dev veth0.10
 ip link set veth0.10 up
 # vlandev.hard_header_len = 14(hard_header_len)
 ethtool -K veth0 tx-vlan-hw-insert on
 # Panic!

The reason is that when NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_TX is off, vlandev.hard_header_len will be set to
dev->hard_header_len since commit 029f5fc31cdb ("8021q: set hard_header_len when VLAN offload features
are toggled"), but the header_ops remains unchanged. Then neigh_connected_output() will call
vlan_dev_hard_header() and panic in skb_push() because reorder_hdr is off.

Fix this by also setting header_ops of vlan dev when offload feature is toggled.

Fixes: 029f5fc31cdb ("8021q: set hard_header_len when VLAN offload features are toggled")
