[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] Dissect PTP L2 packet header

Hi Jakub, Dave,

This series adds support for dissecting PTP L2 packet
header (EtherType 0x88F7).

For packet header dissecting, skb->protocol is needed. Add protocol
parsing operation to vlan ops, to guarantee skb->protocol is set,
as EtherType 0x88F7 occasionally follows a vlan header.

Changelog:
v2:
- Add more people to CC list.

  net: vlan: Add parse protocol header ops
  net: flow_dissector: Parse PTP L2 packet header

Add parse protocol header ops for vlan device. Before this patch, vlan
tagged packet transmitted by af_packet had skb->protocol unset. Some
kernel methods (like __skb_flow_dissect()) rely on this missing information
for its packet processing.

Add support for parsing PTP L2 packet header. Such packet consists
of an L2 header (with ethertype of ETH_P_1588), PTP header, body
and an optional suffix.

Hi Eran

How about adding the PTP maintainer to the CC: list?
