Re: Sending 802.1Q packets using AF_PACKET socket on filtered bridge forwards with wrong MAC addresses

[Brandon Carpenter <brandon.carpenter@cypherpath.com>]

I narrowed the search to a memmove() called from
skb_reorder_vlan_header() in net/core/skbuff.c.

Calling skb_reset_mac_len() after skb_reset_mac_header() before
calling br_allowed_ingress() in net/bridge/br_device.c fixes the
problem.

I'll put together an official patch  and submit it. Should I use
another email account? Are my emails being ignored because of that
stupid disclaimer my employer attaches to my messages (outside my
control)?
