RE: [EXT] [PATCH net] net: mvpp2: Extract the correct ethtype from the skb for tx csum offload

[Yan Markman]

I'm not sure that kind of ntohs() using is good for the Performance. 
htons(ETH_P_IP) is CONSTANT swapped Big/LittleEndian by COMPILER whilst the 
ntohs(vlan_get_protocol(skb)) is run-time short/byte-swap for every packet.

Subject: [EXT] [PATCH net] net: mvpp2: Extract the correct ethtype from the skb for tx csum offload

External Email

----------------------------------------------------------------------
When offloading the L3 and L4 csum computation on TX, we need to extract the l3_proto from the ethtype, independently of the presence of a vlan tag.

The actual driver uses skb->protocol as-is, resulting in packets with the wrong L4 checksum being sent when there's a vlan tag in the packet header and checksum offloading is enabled.

This commit makes use of vlan_protocol_get() to get the correct ethtype regardless the presence of a vlan tag.

Fixes: 3f51850 ("ethernet: Add new driver for Marvell Armada 375 network unit")
