The nftables offload parser sets FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_BASIC .n_proto to the
ethertype field in the ethertype frame. However:
- FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_BASIC .n_proto field always stores either IPv4 or IPv6
ethertypes.
- FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN .vlan_tpid stores either the 802.1q and 802.1ad
ethertypes. Same as for FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_CVLAN.
This function adjusts the flow dissector to handle two scenarios:
1) FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN .vlan_tpid is set to 802.1q or 802.1ad.
Then, transfer:
- the .n_proto field to FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN .tpid.
- the original FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN .tpid to the
FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_CVLAN .tpid
- the original FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_CVLAN .tpid to the .n_proto field.
2) .n_proto is set to 802.1q or 802.1ad. Then, transfer:
- the .n_proto field to FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN .tpid.
- the original FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN .tpid to the .n_proto field.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
