Hi,
ip_output() ignores dev->hard_header_len if dev->hard_header
function == NULL. It's inconsistent with the rest of the kernel. With
some drivers it would mean instant panic, but we are usually saved by
existence of the "default" header space.
With some bad luck things like tun or IPsec may kill the box.
A similar problem may be present in psched_mtu().
Please apply.
I think it should then be applied to stable series as well.
