Hello,

To help increase throughput and bypass the backlog queue, I changed the
netif_rx() to netif_receive_skb() in vlan_skb_recv().  What's the
argument for using netif_rx() other than legacy maintenance?  At this
point, interrupt context should not be an issue.  Layer 2 performance
has been a big focus in my area of development.

I guess the only point is to reduce stack usage. Its probably not
a problem with only VLAN, but it might be with further tunnels,
IPsec, ...

I'm sure you have seen many attempts to implement a single VLAN aware
IVL FDB in the past and I was wondering which attempt do you feel was
the best?  Have you ever considered integrating your VLAN support
natively into the bridging code base or know of any attempts to do just
that?

Without having thought about this much, it seems to me that
it needs to be integrated in the bridge fdb to work properly.
