[ Upstream commit 9dc829a135fb5927f1519de11286e2bbb79f5b66 ] When this driver transmits data, first this driver will remove a pseudo header of 1 byte, then the lapb module will prepend the LAPB header of 2 or 3 bytes, then this driver will prepend a length field of 2 bytes, then the underlying Ethernet device will prepend its own header. So, the header length required should be: -1 + 3 + 2 + "the header length needed by the underlying device". This patch fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET SOCK_DGRAM sockets.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
