Offloading MACsec in PHYs requires inserting the SecTAG and the ICV in the ethernet frame. This operation will increase the frame size with up to 32 bytes. If the frames are sent at line rate, the PHY will not have enough room to insert the SecTAG and the ICV. Some PHYs use a hardware buffer to store a number of ethernet frames and, if it fills up, a pause frame is sent to the MAC to control the flow. This HW implementation does not need any modification in the stack. Other PHYs might offer to use a specific ethertype with some padding bytes present in the ethernet frame. This ethertype and its associated bytes will be replaced by the SecTAG and ICV. mdo_insert_tx_tag allows the PHY drivers to add any specific tag in the skb.

README
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.
