The issue:
tcf_mirred_to_dev() may redirect a packet that has no link-layer header to
a device that expects one. TUN builds a valid L3 skb with mac_len == 0;
mirred then pushes zero bytes and the IP header is parsed as Ethernet by
eth_type_trans(). The same happens after a VLAN POP_ETH or MPLS POP chain
whose producer did not leave a full inner Ethernet header.
The Fix:
After the existing push/pull adjustment, when the target expects data at
the MAC header, pull dev->min_header_len bytes into the linear area and
drop the packet only when that pull fails. This ensures that a consumer
such as eth_type_trans() can pull the target device's minimum link-layer
header from the linear area. Do not gate the check on skb_network_offset():
tc_mpls_l2vpn.sh legitimately redirects a decapsulated packet whose MAC
header is not at the recorded network offset.
Conditions to recreate the bug:
- create a TUN device with IFF_TUN | IFF_VNET_HDR | IFF_NO_PI;
- attach a filter to the TUN device's ingress hook, with a mirred egress
redirect action targeting an Ethernet device such as lo;
- write a virtio_net_hdr with hdr_len=1 and an 8192-byte payload.
The unfixed kernel parses the IP header as Ethernet and can BUG in
eth_type_trans() via loopback_xmit.

v2 -> v3:
- drop the skb_network_offset() condition; keep only
pskb_may_pull(dev->min_header_len). The offset check rejected valid
MPLS L2VPN redirects (Eric Dumazet; tc_mpls_l2vpn.sh).
