mainlining shenanigans
d7bf2ebebc
There are a couple of places in net/sched/ that check skb->protocol and act
on the value there. However, in the presence of VLAN tags, the value stored
in skb->protocol can be inconsistent based on whether VLAN acceleration is
enabled. The commit quoted in the Fixes tag below fixed the users of
skb->protocol to use a helper that will always see the VLAN ethertype.
However, most of the callers don't actually handle the VLAN ethertype, but
expect to find the IP header type in the protocol field. This means that
things like changing the ECN field, or parsing diffserv values, stops
working if there's a VLAN tag, or if there are multiple nested VLAN
tags (QinQ).
To fix this, change the helper to take an argument that indicates whether
the caller wants to skip the VLAN tags or not. When skipping VLAN tags, we
make sure to skip all of them, so behaviour is consistent even in QinQ
mode.
To make the helper usable from the ECN code, move it to if_vlan.h instead
of pkt_sched.h.
v3:
- Remove empty lines
- Move vlan variable definitions inside loop in skb_protocol()
- Also use skb_protocol() helper in IP{,6}_ECN_decapsulate() and
bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce()
v2:
- Use eth_type_vlan() helper in skb_protocol()
- Also fix code that reads skb->protocol directly
- Change a couple of 'if/else if' statements to switch constructs to avoid
calling the helper twice

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.
