Subject: [PATCH net] seg6: keep room for the mac header when growing the headroom
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 06:38:16 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917-seg6-maclen-headroom-v1-1-02ccec50f096@gmail.com> (raw)

__seg6_do_srh_inline(), __seg6_do_srh_encap() and
seg6_do_srh_encap_red() all grow the headroom with skb_cow_head(), push
the new headers into it, and then rebuild the mac header below them with
skb_mac_header_rebuild().  The headroom left after the push has to be at
least skb->mac_len for that rebuild, but the three requests ask for the
pushed length plus dst_dev_overhead(), which leaves LL_RESERVED_SPACE()
of the egress device, 16 bytes for plain Ethernet.

Where the mac header is longer than that, as it is on ingress through a
VLAN device with reorder_hdr off, the rebuild runs out of room:
skb_set_mac_header(skb, -skb->mac_len) computes a negative offset,
stores it unchecked in the u16 skb->mac_header, and the memmove that
follows writes skb->mac_len bytes about 64 KB past skb->head.
Forwarding plain ping6 traffic through such a device reproduces it on
all five encapsulation modes; skb->mac_header comes back as 65534 on a
704-byte head.

Ask for whichever of the two is larger.  These requests carried
skb->mac_len until the egress overhead took its place rather than
joining it.
