[PATCH] docs: networking: Remove VLAN_TAG_PRESENT from openvswitch doc

From: Andreas Karis
Date: Wed Jan 29 2025 - 11:07:07 EST


Since commit 0c4b2d370514cb4f3454dd3b18f031d2651fab73
("net: remove VLAN_TAG_PRESENT"), the kernel no longer sets the DEI/CFI
bit in __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag to indicate the presence of a VLAN tag.
Update the openvswitch documentation which still contained an outdated
reference to this mechanism.

Unlike a TCP packet with source and destination ports 0, an
-all-zero-bits VLAN TCI is not that rare, so the CFI bit (aka
-VLAN_TAG_PRESENT inside the kernel) is ordinarily set in a vlan
-attribute expressly to allow this situation to be distinguished.
-Thus, the flow key in this second example unambiguously indicates a
-missing or malformed VLAN TCI.
