From ea47781c26510e5d97f80f9aceafe9065bd5e3aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willem de Bruijn Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 21:58:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ax25: add link layer header validation function As variable length protocol, AX25 fails link layer header validation tests based on a minimum length. header_ops.validate allows protocols to validate headers that are shorter than hard_header_len. Implement this callback for AX25. See also http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/401064 Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S.
