[ Upstream commit 02612bb05e51df8489db5e94d0cf8d1c81f87b0c ]

In pppoe_sendmsg(), reserving dev->hard_header_len bytes of headroom was probably fine before the introduction of ->needed_headroom in commit f5184d267c1a ("net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroom").

But now, virtual devices typically advertise the size of their overhead in dev->needed_headroom, so we must also take it into account in skb_reserve(). Allocation size of skb is also updated to take dev->needed_tailroom into account and replace the arbitrary 32 bytes with the real size of a PPPoE header.

This issue was discovered by syzbot, who connected a pppoe socket to a gre device which had dev->header_ops->create == ipgre_header and dev->hard_header_len == 0. Therefore, PPPoE didn't reserve any headroom, and dev_hard_header() crashed when ipgre_header() tried to prepend its header to skb->data.

Admittedly PPPoE shouldn't be allowed to run on non Ethernet-like interfaces, but reserving space for ->needed_headroom is a more fundamental issue that needs to be addressed first.

Same problem exists for __pppoe_xmit(), which also needs to take dev->needed_headroom into account in skb_cow_head().
