packet: allow to transmit +4 byte in TX_RING slot for VLAN case
commit 52f1454f upstream. Commit 57f89bfa ("network: Allow af_packet to transmit +4 bytes for VLAN packets.") added the possibility for non-mmaped frames to send extra 4 byte for VLAN header so the MTU increases from 1500 to 1504 byte, for example. Commit cbd89acb ("af_packet: fix for sending VLAN frames via packet_mmap") attempted to fix that for the mmap part but was reverted as it caused regressions while using eth_type_trans() on output path. Lets just act analogous to 57f89bfa and add a similar logic to TX_RING. We presume size_max as overcharged with +4 bytes and later on after skb has been built by tpacket_fill_skb() check for ETH_P_8021Q header on packets larger than normal MTU. Can be easily reproduced with a slightly modified trafgen in mmap(2) mode, test cases: { fill(0xff, 12) const16(0x8100) fill(0xff, <1504|1505>) } { fill(0xff, 12) const16(0x0806) fill(0xff, <1500|1501>) } Note that we need to do the test right after tpacket_fill_skb() as sockets can have PACKET_LOSS set where we would not fail but instead just continue to traverse the ring.
