====================
vxlan: fixes for skb header pulling, cloning, and concurrency in TX path
While working on RTNL-less fill_info for vxlan, Sashiko found annoying
pre-existing issues, adding noise to an already complex work.
This series addresses some of them in VXLAN transmit path,
primarily within route_shortcircuit(), header validation, and neighbour
lookup.
Patch 1 fixes a potential use-after-free in vxlan_xmit() caused by caching
the Ethernet header pointer ('eth') before calling route_shortcircuit(),
which can reallocate skb->head via pskb_may_pull().
Patch 2 calls skb_cow_head() in route_shortcircuit() before modifying the
Ethernet header in-place, preventing packet header corruption when the skb
is cloned (e.g., by packet sockets, tcpdump, or dev_queue_xmit).
Patch 3 replaces direct reads of n->ha in route_shortcircuit() with
neigh_ha_snapshot() to safely snapshot the neighbour hardware address
under seqlock protection, avoiding potential torn reads during
asynchronous updates.
Patch 4 changes route_shortcircuit() to use pskb_network_may_pull() instead
of pskb_may_pull(). Since skb->data points to the MAC header on transmit
(skb_network_offset(skb) == ETH_HLEN), pskb_may_pull() was only checking
6 bytes into the IP header, leaving the remainder un-pulled in non-linear
frags.
Patch 5 applies pskb_network_may_pull() to the remaining transmit-path
header pull checks in arp_reduce(), ND solicitation proxy checks, and
MDB entry lookup, where skb->data similarly points to the Ethernet header.
