When we have a bridge with vlan_filtering on and a vlan device on top of
it, packets would be corrupted in skb_vlan_untag() called from
br_dev_xmit().
The problem sits in skb_reorder_vlan_header() used in skb_vlan_untag(),
which makes use of skb->mac_len. In this function mac_len is meant for
handling rx path with vlan devices with reorder_header disabled, but in
tx path mac_len is typically 0 and cannot be used, which is the problem
in this case.
The current code even does not properly handle rx path (skb_vlan_untag()
called from __netif_receive_skb_core()) with reorder_header off actually.
In rx path single tag case, it works as follows:
- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+-------------+------+----
| ETH | VLAN | ETH |
| ADDRS | TPID | TCI | TYPE |
+-------------------+-------------+------+----
<-------- mac_len --------->
<------------->
to be removed
- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+------+----
| ETH | ETH |
| ADDRS | TYPE |
+-------------------+------+----
<-------- mac_len --------->
This is ok, but in rx double tag case, it corrupts packets:
- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
| ETH | VLAN | VLAN | ETH |
| ADDRS | TPID | TCI | TPID | TCI | TYPE |
+-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
<--------------- mac_len ---------------->
<------------->
should be removed
<--------------------------->
actually will be removed
- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+------+----
| ETH | ETH |
| ADDRS | TYPE |
+-------------------+------+----
<--------------- mac_len ---------------->
So, two of vlan tags are both removed while only inner one should be
removed and mac_header (and mac_len) is broken.
skb_vlan_untag() is meant for removing the vlan header at (skb->data - 2),
so use skb->data and skb->mac_header to calculate the right offset.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
