[PATCH 4.6 072/203] macsec: set actual real device for xmit when !protect_frames

Show all headers | View raw

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

[ Upstream commit 79c62220d74a4a3f961a2cb7320da09eebf5daf7 ]

Avoid recursions of dev_queue_xmit() to the wrong net device when
frames are unprotected, since at that time skb->dev still points to
our own macsec dev and unlike macsec_encrypt_finish() dev pointer
doesn't get updated to real underlying device.
