This one is somewhat hard to explain - maybe there are some other factors. eth0 has ASF on, so it always strips tags. I would expect it to behave like the vlan configured case. > > eth0, vlan configured: see packets without vlan tag (see double tagged > packets with one vlan tag) Both ASF and vlan group configured cause tag stripping to be enabled.

Missing tag. > eth1, vlan configured: as without vlan With this patch vlan stripping is only enabled when ASF is on, so no stripping.

Missing tag. > eth1 with vlan: the same Stripping still always enabled. Missing tag. The bottom line is whenever vlan stripping is enabled we're missing the outer tag. It might be worth adding some debugging in the area before napi_gro_receive/vlan_gro_receive (depending on version). My guess is that (desc->type_flags & RXD_FLAG_VLAN) is false even for vlan packets on this NIC. You said that everything works on the 5752? Matt, is it possible that the 5714 either has a problem with vlan stripping or a different way of reporting it? Also, why does ASF require vlan stripping? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
