__netif_receive_skb_core: don't untag vlan from skb on DSA master
A DSA master interface has upper network devices, each representing an
Ethernet switch port attached to it. Demultiplexing the source ports and
setting skb->dev accordingly is done through the catch-all ETH_P_XDSA
packet_type handler. Catch-all because DSA vendors have various header
implementations, which can be placed anywhere in the frame: before the
DMAC, before the EtherType, before the FCS, etc. So, the ETH_P_XDSA
handler acts like an rx_handler more than anything.
It is unlikely for the DSA master interface to have any other upper than
the DSA switch interfaces themselves. Only maybe a bridge upper*, but it
is very likely that the DSA master will have no 8021q upper. So
__netif_receive_skb_core() will try to untag the VLAN, despite the fact
that the DSA switch interface might have an 8021q upper. So the skb will
never reach that.
So far, this hasn't been a problem because most of the possible
placements of the DSA switch header mentioned in the first paragraph
will displace the VLAN header when the DSA master receives the frame, so
__netif_receive_skb_core() will not actually execute any VLAN-specific
code for it. This only becomes a problem when the DSA switch header does
not displace the VLAN header (for example with a tail tag).
What the patch does is it bypasses the untagging of the skb when there
is a DSA switch attached to this net device. So, DSA is the only
packet_type handler which requires seeing the VLAN header. Once skb->dev
will be changed, __netif_receive_skb_core() will be invoked again and
untagging, or delivery to an 8021q upper, will happen in the RX of the
DSA switch interface itself.
*see commit 9eb8eff0cf
("net: bridge: allow enslaving some DSA master
network devices". This is actually the reason why I prefer keeping DSA
as a packet_type handler of ETH_P_XDSA rather than converting to an
rx_handler. Currently the rx_handler code doesn't support chaining, and
this is a problem because a DSA master might be bridged.
