Subject: [PATCH net] pppoatm: ensure a writable skb header
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 09:05:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908090519.339696-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

In pppoatm_send(), LLC encapsulation checks whether there is sufficient
headroom for the 4-byte LLC header, but does not ensure that the skb header
is writable.

Normal transmit packets passing through ppp_start_xmit() have their header
unshared via skb_cow_head(). However, packets can also reach pppoatm_send()
via PPP channel bridging (PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN) without going through
ppp_start_xmit().

Use skb_cow_head() to ensure both sufficient headroom and a writable
header before pushing the LLC header.

While at it, this also simplifies the code and avoids allocating and
freeing a temporary skb when the ATM socket buffer is full.

Fixes: 4cf476ced45d ("ppp: add PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN and PPPIOCUNBRIDGECHAN ioctls")
