[ Upstream commit 9fb030a70431a2a2a1b292dbf0b2f399cc072c16 ]
This patch sets skb->protocol before transmitting frames on the HDLC device, so that a user listening on the HDLC device with an AF_PACKET socket will see outgoing frames' sll_protocol field correctly set and consistent with that of incoming frames.
1. Control frames in hdlc_cisco and hdlc_ppp
When these drivers send control frames, skb->protocol is not set.
This value should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving control frames, their skb->protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).
When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, which then calls cisco_type_trans or ppp_type_trans. The skb->protocol of control frames is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC) so that the control frames can be received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls cisco_rx or ppp_rx to process the control frames.
2. hdlc_fr
When this driver sends control frames, skb->protocol is set to internal values used in this driver.
When this driver sends data frames (from upper stacked PVC devices), skb->protocol is the same as that of the user data packet being sent on the upper PVC device (for normal PVC devices), or is htons(ETH_P_802_3) (for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices).
However, skb->protocol for both control frames and data frames should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving, all frames received on the HDLC device will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).
When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, and because this driver doesn't provide a type_trans function in struct hdlc_proto, all frames will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). The frames are then received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls fr_rx to process the frames (control frames are consumed and data frames are re-received on upper PVC devices).
