In 93515d53b1 "net: move vlan pop/push functions into common code" skb_vlan_pop was moved from its private location in openvswitch to skbuff common code.
In case !vlan_tx_tag_present, the original 'pop_vlan()' assured that skb->len is sufficient for the existence of a vlan_ethhdr (if skb->len < VLAN_ETH_HLEN then pop was a no-op). This validation was moved as is into the new common 'skb_vlan_pop'. Alas, in its original location (openvswitch), there's a guarantee that 'data' points to the mac_header, therefore the 'skb->len < VLAN_ETH_HLEN' condition made sense. However there's no such guarantee in the generic 'skb_vlan_pop'. For short packets received in rx path going through 'skb_vlan_pop', this causes 'skb_vlan_pop' to fail pop-ing a valid vlan hdr (in case tag is in payload), or to fail moving next tag into hw-accel tag. Instead, verify that 'skb->mac_len' is sufficient.
