No no no.

Please fix the root cause, instead of making slow all the users that
got this right.

Uninit was stored to memory at:
eth_header_parse+0xb8/0x110 net/ethernet/eth.c:204
dev_parse_header include/linux/netdevice.h:3158 [inline]

Sanity check [1] in __bpf_redirect_common() does not really help, if
skb->len == 1 :/

/* Verify that a link layer header is carried */
if (unlikely(skb->mac_header >= skb->network_header || skb->len == 0)) {
kfree_skb(skb);
return -ERANGE;
}

These bugs keep showing up.

bpf: Move skb->len == 0 checks into __bpf_redirect

To avoid potentially breaking existing users.

Both mac/no-mac cases have to be amended; mac_header >= network_header
is not enough (verified with a new test, see next patch).

I sent an earlier patch, this went nowhere I am afraid.

Daniel, can you take a look and fix this in net/core/filter.c ?
