[PATCH net-next 1/1] vlan: restore offload use on vlan transmit

From: Andrew Gallatin <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-06 20:55:07
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

This patch copies the vlan device's dev->features to its
dev->vlan_features, which allows packets to arrive at
vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit() with their offloads intact.

When a packet destined for a vlan interface is transmitted, it passes
through dev_hard_start_xmit() (and netif_skb_features()) twice.  First
on its way to vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit(), and then again on its way to
the backing device's xmit handler. If the vlan device does not setup
its dev->vlan_features, then netif_skb_features() will strip the
features on the first trip through it (on the way to
vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit()).
