Subject[PATCH 3.14 01/37] netlink: reset network header before passing to taps
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4e48ed883c72e78c5a910f8831ffe90c9b18f0ec ]

netlink doesn't set any network header offset thus when the skb is
being passed to tap devices via dev_queue_xmit_nit(), it emits klog
false positives due to it being unset like:

...
[ 124.990397] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
[ 124.990411] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
...

So just reset the network header before passing to the device; for
packet sockets that just means nothing will change - mac and net
offset hold the same value just as before.
