Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: fix skb_under_panic in bond_ns_send() over stacked VLANs
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 23:21:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719232153.1405569-1-xmei5@asu.edu> (raw)
bond_ns_send() builds an IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation with
ndisc_ns_create(), which reserves exactly LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) +
sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) of headroom for the later ip6_nd_hdr() push.
bond_handle_vlan() then inserts the collected VLAN tags into the skb;
each inner tag consumes VLAN_HLEN of that headroom via skb_push(). With
enough stacked VLAN devices between the bond and the ns_ip6_target, the
reserved IPv6 headroom is exhausted, so the subsequent
ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() -> skb_push(sizeof(struct ipv6hdr))
underflows past skb->head and hits skb_under_panic().
Restore the required headroom with skb_cow_head() after VLAN insertion
and before handing the skb to ndisc_send_skb(); drop the probe on
allocation failure. For paths that did not exhaust the headroom this is
a no-op, so previously working configurations are unaffected.
