[ Upstream commit c7ca03c216acb14466a713fedf1b9f2c24994ef2 ] 1. Added a skb->len check This driver expects upper layers to include a pseudo header of 1 byte when passing down a skb for transmission. This driver will read this 1-byte header. This patch added a skb->len check before reading the header to make sure the header exists. 2. Changed to use needed_headroom instead of hard_header_len to request necessary headroom to be allocated In net/packet/af_packet.c, the function packet_snd first reserves a headroom of length (dev->hard_header_len + dev->needed_headroom). Then if the socket is a SOCK_DGRAM socket, it calls dev_hard_header, which calls dev->header_ops->create, to create the link layer header. If the socket is a SOCK_RAW socket, it "un-reserves" a headroom of length (dev->hard_header_len), and assumes the user to provide the appropriate link layer header. So according to the logic of af_packet.c, dev->hard_header_len should be the length of the header that would be created by dev->header_ops->create. However, this driver doesn't provide dev->header_ops, so logically dev->hard_header_len should be 0. So we should use dev->needed_headroom instead of dev->hard_header_len to request necessary headroom to be allocated. This change fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW 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.
