[PATCH] drivers/net/wan/lapbether.c: Fixed kernel panic when used with AF_PACKET sockets
From: Xie He
Date: Wed May 27 2020 - 23:22:07 EST
When we use "AF_PACKET" sockets to send data directly over LAPB over
Ethernet using this driver, the kernel will panic because of
insufficient header space allocated in the "sk_buff" struct.
The header space needs 18 bytes because:
the lapbether driver will remove a pseudo header of 1 byte;
the lapb module will prepend the LAPB header of 2 or 3 bytes;
the lapbether driver will prepend a length field of 2 bytes and the
Ethernet header of 14 bytes.
So -1 + 3 + 16 = 18.
