A KASAN:use-after-free bug was found related to ip6-erspan while running selftests/net/ip6_gre_headroom.sh It happens because of following sequence: - ipv6hdr pointer is obtained from skb - skb_cow_head() is called, skb->head memory is reallocated - old data is accessed using ipv6hdr pointer skb_cow_head() call was added ine41c7c68ea("ip6erspan: make sure enough headroom at xmit."), but looking at the history there was a chance of similar bug because gre_handle_offloads() and pskb_trim() can also reallocate skb->head memory. Fixes tag points to commit which introduced possibility of this bug. This patch moves ipv6hdr pointer assignment after skb_cow_head() call.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
