[PATCH 2/3] net: Make skb->skb_iif always track skb->dev

From: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Date: 2012-07-23 23:45:43
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Make it follow device decapsulation, from things such as VLAN and
bonding.

The stuff that actually cares about pre-demuxed device pointers, is
handled by the "orig_dev" variable in __netif_receive_skb().  And
the only consumer of that is the po->origdev feature of AF_PACKET
sockets.
