[PATCH v2 net 0/2] Fix wrong transport_header when sending VLAN-tagged frames

Posted by wei.fang@oss.nxp.com 1 month, 3 weeks ago

From: Wei Fang <wei.fang@nxp.com>

When sending a VLAN-tagged frame via AF_PACKET or tap, calling
skb_set_network_header() before skb_probe_transport_header() causes
the flow dissector to misinterpret the inner protocol header as a
VLAN header. As a result, transport_header is never set and remains
at its uninitialized sentinel value (~0U).

Move skb_probe_transport_header() to before skb_set_network_header()
so the flow dissector sees network_header still pointing to the VLAN
header and can correctly identify the transport layer.

v2 changes:
1. Move skb_probe_transport_header() to before skb_set_network_header()
2. Change the commit messages and titles
