Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: make sure skb->len != 0 when redirecting to a tunneling device
syzkaller managed to trigger another case where skb->len == 0
when we enter __dev_queue_xmit:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2470 at include/linux/skbuff.h:2576 skb_assert_len include/linux/skbuff.h:2576 [inline]

The reproducer doesn't really reproduce outside of syzkaller
environment, so I'm taking a guess here. It looks like we
do generate correct ETH_HLEN-sized packet, but we redirect
the packet to the tunneling device. Before we do so, we
__skb_pull l2 header and arrive again at skb->len == 0.
Doesn't seem like we can do anything better than having
an explicit check after __skb_pull?
