[PATCH 3.16 007/294] net/packet: Fix Tx queue selection for AF_PACKET

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Nov 06 2017 - 20:13:19 EST


3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: IvÃn Briano <ivan.briano@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ccd4eb49f3392ebf989d58bd013a7bf44cdca4d6 upstream.

When PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS is not used, Tx queue selection will be done
before the packet is enqueued, taking into account any mappings set by
a queuing discipline such as mqprio without hardware offloading. This
selection may be affected by a previously saved queue_mapping, either on
the Rx path, or done before the packet reaches the device, as it's
currently the case for AF_PACKET.

In order for queue selection to work as expected when using traffic
control, there can't be another selection done before that point is
reached, so move the call to packet_pick_tx_queue to
packet_direct_xmit, leaving the default xmit path as it was before
PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS was introduced.

A forward declaration of packet_pick_tx_queue() is introduced to avoid
the need to reorder the functions within the file.
