This patch sets skb->protocol before transmitting frames on the HDLC device, so that a user listening on the HDLC device with an AF_PACKET socket will see outgoing frames' sll_protocol field correctly set and consistent with that of incoming frames. 1. Control frames in hdlc_cisco and hdlc_ppp When these drivers send control frames, skb->protocol is not set. This value should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving control frames, their skb->protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, which then calls cisco_type_trans or ppp_type_trans. The skb->protocol of control frames is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC) so that the control frames can be received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls cisco_rx or ppp_rx to process the control frames. 2. hdlc_fr When this driver sends control frames, skb->protocol is set to internal values used in this driver. When this driver sends data frames (from upper stacked PVC devices), skb->protocol is the same as that of the user data packet being sent on the upper PVC device (for normal PVC devices), or is htons(ETH_P_802_3) (for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices). However, skb->protocol for both control frames and data frames should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving, all frames received on the HDLC device will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, and because this driver doesn't provide a type_trans function in struct hdlc_proto, all frames will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). The frames are then received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls fr_rx to process the frames (control frames are consumed and data frames are re-received on upper PVC devices).
