Dear NetDevs This series removes an abuse of VLAN CFI bit in Linux networking stack. Currently Linux always clears the bit on outgoing traffic and presents it cleared to userspace (even via AF_PACKET/tcpdump when hw-accelerated). This uses a new vlan_present bit in struct skbuff, and removes an assumption that vlan_proto != 0 when VLAN tag is present. As I can't test most of the driver changes, please look at them carefully. The series is supposed to be bisect-friendly and that requires temporary insertion of #define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT in BPF code to be able to split JIT changes per architecture. Best Regards, Michał Mirosław v2: rebase onto net-next
This patch series is really way too large. You're going to have to find a way to combine related changes, or submit this as a series of logical sets, one at a time. Thanks.
