[PATCH v2 net-next 0/9] Remove skb_mac_header() dependency in DSA xmit path

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Thu Apr 20 2023 - 18:56:22 EST


Eric started working on removing skb_mac_header() assumptions from the
networking xmit path, and I offered to help for DSA:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230321164519.1286357-1-edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx/

The majority of this patch set is a straightforward replacement of
skb_mac_header() with skb->data (hidden either behind skb_eth_hdr(), or
behind skb_vlan_eth_hdr()). The only patch which is more "interesting"
is 9/9.

Another potential caller of __skb_vlan_pop() on xmit (and therefore
also of skb_mac_header()) is tcf_vlan_act(), but I haven't had the time
to investigate that (enough to submit changes other than what's here).

v1->v2:
- 09/09: document the vlan_tci argument of vlan_remove_tag() in the kdoc

v1 at:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230322233823.1806736-1-vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx/

Vladimir Oltean (9):
net: vlan: don't adjust MAC header in __vlan_insert_inner_tag() unless
set
net: vlan: introduce skb_vlan_eth_hdr()
net: dpaa: avoid one skb_reset_mac_header() in dpaa_enable_tx_csum()
net: dsa: tag_ocelot: do not rely on skb_mac_header() for VLAN xmit
net: dsa: tag_ksz: do not rely on skb_mac_header() in TX paths
net: dsa: tag_sja1105: don't rely on skb_mac_header() in TX paths
net: dsa: tag_sja1105: replace skb_mac_header() with vlan_eth_hdr()
net: dsa: update TX path comments to not mention skb_mac_header()
net: dsa: tag_ocelot: call only the relevant portion of
__skb_vlan_pop() on TX
