Recent linux-next has broken my Juniper VPN client. The tunnel gets created, routes get added, but trying to actually send packets across results in packets just disappearing. 'ifconfig' consistently reports exactly 1 packet sent (even

    tun: Use iovec iterators

    This patch removes the use of skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec in
    favour of the iovec iterator-based skb_copy_datagram_iter.

This commit is in the kernel, and does *not* fix the problem:

commit 8c847d254146d32c86574a1b16923ff91bb784dd
Author: Jason Wang <[email protected]>
Date:   Thu Nov 13 16:54:14 2014 +0800

    tun: fix issues of iovec iterators using in tun_put_user()

So there's apparently additional issues that Jason didn't address. I tried to revert Herbert's patch for testing, but there's at least 5 or 6 other patches that need reverting first, so I abandoned that unless it becomes necessary...

What's the best way to proceed?

See another fixes from Herbert, it probably fixes your issue:
