[PATCH net-next 2/3] net: dsa: tag_brcm: Support extracting tags from HW

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Wed Jul 29 2015 - 18:35:53 EST


In case an adapter advertises NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_RX_TAG, proceed with
extracting the 4-bytes Broadcom tag directly from skb->cb[] and utilize
that instead of copying and memmoving() data around.

To establish a contract between the Ethernet MAC advertisign
NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_RX_TAG and the Broadcom tag DSA parsing code,
introduce a helper function to copy such a tag into skb->cb[] at a
pre-defined offset which is checked against other parts of the kernel we
compete with: NAPI GRO cb.
