    cfg80211: fix proto in ieee80211_data_to_8023 for frames without LLC header · c041778c
    Felix Fietkau 提交于
    The PDU length of incoming LLC frames is set to the total skb payload size
    in __ieee80211_data_to_8023() of net/wireless/util.c which incorrectly
    includes the length of the IEEE 802.11 header.
    
    The resulting LLC frame header has a too large PDU length, causing the
    llc_fixup_skb() function of net/llc/llc_input.c to reject the incoming
    skb, effectively breaking STP.
    
    Solve the problem by properly substracting the IEEE 802.11 frame header size
    from the PDU length, allowing the LLC processor to pick up the incoming
    control messages.
    
    Special thanks to Gerry Rozema for tracking down the regression and proposing
    a suitable patch.
