From: Ryan Chen <redacted> VLAN passthrough packets can be offloaded when bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged is enabled. When a packet has a VLAN tag and the bridge does not have VLAN filtering enabled (passthrough mode), record the VLAN encap info so the hardware flow offload entry includes the correct VLAN tag. Without this change, VLAN-tagged bridged traffic cannot be offloaded by PPE because the VLAN encap information is missing from the flow entry. Enable with: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged Based on a MediaTek SDK patch by Chak-Kei Lam [off-list ref].
