    macvtap: always pass ethernet header in linear · 8e2ad411
    Willem de Bruijn authored
    The stack expects link layer headers in the skb linear section.
    Macvtap can create skbs with llheader in frags in edge cases:
    when (IFF_VNET_HDR is off or vnet_hdr.hdr_len < ETH_HLEN) and
    prepad + len > PAGE_SIZE and vnet_hdr.flags has no or bad csum.
    
    Add checks to ensure linear is always at least ETH_HLEN.
    At this point, len is already ensured to be >= ETH_HLEN.
    
    For backwards compatiblity, rounds up short vnet_hdr.hdr_len.
    This differs from tap and packet, which return an error.
