I don't understand why that happened as it is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet. I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual packet lengths with tcpdump. So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
