Yeah, absolutely logic and difficult to fix.

Because of the unknown socket(..., ..., protocol = 0x....) you enabled
hdrincl. The writev included non-fragmentable padding and options (yeah
by being just zeros). hlen is the non-fragmentable header length of the
packet and thus reduced the length of the actual payload near to or
equal to zero.

I think we just have to abort sending those packets and send errors back
to user space.

Thanks for the report!

Bye,
Hannes
