You mean data points after the 0x0800, right?

Yeah, so we likely end up at 2) because of things like eth_type_trans()
that would only pull ETH_HLEN.

Couldn't we end up with 1) for the act_vlan case when we'd have the
offset-adjusted skb_vlan_push() fix from here, where we'd then redirect
to ingress where skb_vlan_pop() would be called? If I'm not missing
something, skb_vlan_push() would then point to the data location of 1)
and with your other proposed direct netif_receive_skb() patch, no
further skb->data adjustments would be done, right?

Another potential issue (but unrelated to this fix here) I just noticed
is, whether act_vlan might have the same problem as we fixed in 8065694e6519
("bpf: fix checksum for vlan push/pop helper"). So potentially, we could
end up fixing CHECKSUM_COMPLETE wrongly on ingress, since these 14 bytes
are already pulled out of the sum at that point.

> Should we adjust "offset" back, only if resulting offset is >=14 ?

If also the checksum one might end up as an issue, maybe it's just best
to go through the pain and do the push/pull for data plus csum, so both
skb_vlan_*() functions see the frame starting from mac header temporarily?
Jiri, any thoughts?
