Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/6] net: pull short linear Ethernet headers before eth_type_trans()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 07:59:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ACT-N6N4.v2.r0.20261022191829@mojatatu.com> (raw)

This series fixes a class of producer/consumer bugs in which an outer
header is popped and the packet is then handed to a consumer with fewer
than ETH_HLEN bytes in the linear area.  eth_type_trans() pulls ETH_HLEN
from that area and can BUG in __skb_pull() when the inner Ethernet header
is not linear.  The affected producers are act_vlan POP_ETH, act_mpls POP,
act_ife egress decode, and the Open vSwitch MPLS/TEB and NSH pops.  A
consumer-side guard in act_mirred rejects redirecting a headerless packet
to a device that expects a link-layer header.

Patch 1 makes act_vlan POP_ETH pull the inner Ethernet header after the
pop and drop only when the packet is genuinely shorter than ETH_HLEN.
Patch 2 does the same for act_mpls, gated on the pre-pop MAC length.
Patch 3 adds the act_mirred guard at the redirect boundary.  Patch 4
keeps act_ife egress decode from consuming the inner Ethernet header and
restores the header metadata.

Patches 5 and 6 establish the same linear-header invariant for the OVS
MPLS/TEB and NSH pops before restoring MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET.

Changes in v2:
  - Pull the inner header with pskb_may_pull(skb, ETH_HLEN) and drop only
    on failure, instead of dropping on the post-pop skb_headlen() check
    which may drop frags (Eric/Willem).
  - act_mpls: gate the pull on the pre-pop mac_len and remove the separate
    was_mpls state.
  - Drop the v1 TUN patch; add the act_mirred consumer-side guard.
  - Add the act_ife egress decode fix; decode is receive-side, and the
    egress path restores the frame for loopback-style transmit paths.
  - Keep the OVS TEB and NSH patches unchanged and restore their v1
    Reviewed-by trailers.
  - Drop two bouncing Cc addresses.
