Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] llc: reserve device headroom for allocated frames
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 17:41:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5002123a7fd47989926bcefe4d5bdeb824f40b63.1789987105.git.petalzu987@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1789987105.git.petalzu987@gmail.com>
From: Zixuan Chai <petalzu987@gmail.com>
llc_alloc_frame() reserves link-layer headroom using the device type.
This is insufficient for stacked Ethernet devices such as VLAN devices,
where vlan_dev_hard_header() pushes a VLAN header before the lower
device's Ethernet header. An LLC response on such a device can
therefore underflow skb headroom in eth_header().
Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() to account for the device's actual required
headroom while preserving the existing reservation for the LLC header.
Fixes: bf9ae5386bca ("llc: use dev_hard_header")
