Linux kernel source tree
I am using "protocol ip" filters in TC to manipulate TC flower
classifiers, which are only available with "protocol ip". However,
I faced an issue that packets sent via raw sockets with ETH_P_ALL
did not match the ip filters even if they did satisfy the condition
(e.g., DHCP offer from dhcpd).
I have determined that the behavior was caused by an unexpected
value stored in skb->protocol, namely, ETH_P_ALL instead of ETH_P_IP,
when packets were sent via raw sockets with ETH_P_ALL set.
IMHO, storing ETH_P_ALL in skb->protocol is not appropriate for
packets sent via raw sockets because ETH_P_ALL is not a real ether
type used on wire, but a virtual one.
This patch fixes the tx protocol selection in cases of transmission
via raw sockets created with ETH_P_ALL so that it asks the driver to
extract protocol from the Ethernet header.
Fixes:

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.
