Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] ip_gre: recompute erspan header lengths after a change
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:09:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912150944.3470971-4-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912150944.3470971-1-edumazet@google.com>

erspan_tunnel_init() is the only place computing tunnel->tun_hlen and
tunnel->hlen, but erspan_changelink() can change both: tunnel->erspan_ver
selects a 4 or 8 byte GRE header and feeds erspan_hdr_len(), while
ip_tunnel_encap_setup() recomputes tunnel->hlen without the ERSPAN part.

dev->needed_headroom is not refreshed either, since ip_tunnel_update()
only rebinds when the link or the fwmark changes.

erspan_xmit() calls skb_cow_head(skb, dev->needed_headroom) before
erspan_build_header[_v2]() pushes the header. Going from version 0 to
version 2 adds 20 bytes, so a packet with little headroom can hit
skb_under_panic().

Move the computation into erspan_set_hlen() and add
erspan_link_update(), refreshing the lengths as the previous patch does
for plain GRE. It runs before the erspan_netlink_parms() error check and
before ip_tunnel_changelink(), because the new version is committed by
then and erspan_xmit() sizes its push from it.
