[PATCH v2] drivers/net/wan/x25_asy: Fix to make it work

From: Xie He
Date: Thu Jul 16 2020 - 19:44:54 EST


This driver is not working because of problems of its receiving code.
This patch fixes it to make it work.

When the driver receives an LAPB frame, it should first pass the frame
to the LAPB module to process. After processing, the LAPB module passes
the data (the packet) back to the driver, the driver should then add a
one-byte pseudo header and pass the data to upper layers.

The changes to the "x25_asy_bump" function and the
"x25_asy_data_indication" function are to correctly implement this
procedure.

Also, the "x25_asy_unesc" function ignores any frame that is shorter
than 3 bytes. However the shortest frames are 2-byte long. So we need
to change it to allow 2-byte frames to pass.

Change from v1:
Added skb_cow before skb_push to ensure skb_push will succeed
according the suggestion of Eric Dumazet.

Hi Eric Dumazet and Martin Schiller,
Can you review this patch again and see if it is OK for me to include
your names in a "Signed-off-by", "Reviewed-by" or "Acked-by" tag?
Thank you!

Hi All,
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have and make improvements
according to your suggestions. Thanks!
