Vladimir Oltean 0bcf2e4aca net: dsa: tag_ocelot: call only the relevant portion of __skb_vlan_pop() on TX
ocelot_xmit_get_vlan_info() calls __skb_vlan_pop() as the most
appropriate helper I could find which strips away a VLAN header.
That's all I need it to do, but __skb_vlan_pop() has more logic, which
will become incompatible with the future revert of commit 6d1ccff627
("net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()").

Namely, it performs a sanity check on skb_mac_header(), which will stop
being set after the above revert, so it will return an error instead of
removing the VLAN tag.

ocelot_xmit_get_vlan_info() gets called in 2 circumstances:

(1) the port is under a VLAN-aware bridge and the bridge sends
    VLAN-tagged packets

(2) the port is under a VLAN-aware bridge and somebody else (an 8021q
    upper) sends VLAN-tagged packets (using a VID that isn't in the
    bridge vlan tables)

In case (1), there is actually no bug to defend against, because
br_dev_xmit() calls skb_reset_mac_header() and things continue to work.

However, in case (2), illustrated using the commands below, it can be
seen that our intervention is needed, since __skb_vlan_pop() complains:

$ ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 && ip link set br0 up
$ ip link set $eth master br0 && ip link set $eth up
$ ip link add link $eth name $eth.100 type vlan id 100 && ip link set $eth.100 up
$ ip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev $eth.100

I could fend off the checks in __skb_vlan_pop() with some
skb_mac_header_was_set() calls, but seeing how few callers of
__skb_vlan_pop() there are from TX paths, that seems rather
unproductive.

As an alternative solution, extract the bare minimum logic to strip a
VLAN header, and move it to a new helper named vlan_remove_tag(), close
to the definition of vlan_insert_tag(). Document it appropriately and
make ocelot_xmit_get_vlan_info() call this smaller helper instead.

Seeing that it doesn't appear illegal to test skb->protocol in the TX
path, I guess it would be a good for vlan_remove_tag() to also absorb
the vlan_set_encap_proto() function call.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
