From 918150cbd6103199fe326e8b1462a7f0d81475e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahesh Bandewar Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 14:40:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ipvlan: add L2 check for packets arriving via virtual devices" This reverts commit 92ff42645028fa6f9b8aa767718457b9264316b4. Even though the check added is not that taxing, it's not really needed. First of all this will be per packet cost and second thing is that the eth_type_trans() already does this correctly. The excessive scrubbing in IPvlan was changing the pkt-type skb metadata of the packet which made it necessary to re-check the mac. The subsequent patch in this series removes the faulty packet-scrub. Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar Signed-off-by: David S.
