From 99c8719b79814cab3fd43519591dcc41c978a48c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillaume Nault Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2021 15:33:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bareudp: allow redirecting bareudp packets to eth devices Even though bareudp transports L3 data (typically IP or MPLS), it needs to reset the mac_header pointer, so that other parts of the stack don't mistakenly access the outer header after the packet has been decapsulated. This allows to push an Ethernet header to bareudp packets and redirect them to an Ethernet device: $ tc filter add dev bareudp0 ingress matchall \ action vlan push_eth dst_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:01 \ src_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:00 \ action mirred egress redirect dev eth0 Without this patch, push_eth refuses to add an ethernet header because the skb appears to already have a MAC header.
