From 0e3da5bb8da45890b1dc413404e0f978ab71173e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timo Teräs Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:02:09 +0200 Subject: ip_gre: fix msg_name parsing for recvfrom/recvmsg MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ipgre_header_parse() needs to parse the tunnel's ip header and it uses mac_header to locate the iphdr. This got broken when gre tunneling was refactored as mac_header is no longer updated to point to iphdr. Introduce skb_pop_mac_header() helper to do the mac_header assignment and use it in ipgre_rcv() to fix msg_name parsing. Bug introduced in commit c54419321455 (GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code.)

We've seen so many instances of people invoking skb_tx_timestamp() after the device already has been given the packet, that it's worth being a little bit more verbose and explicit in this comment.
