Alternative short title: don't instruct the hardware to match on
EtherType with "protocol 802.1Q" flower filters. It doesn't work for the
reasons detailed below.
With a command such as the following:
tc filter add dev $swp1 ingress chain $(IS1 2) pref 3 \
protocol 802.1Q flower skip_sw vlan_id 200 src_mac $h1_mac \
action vlan modify id 300 \
action goto chain $(IS2 0 0)
the created filter is set by ocelot_flower_parse_key() to be of type
OCELOT_VCAP_KEY_ETYPE, and etype is set to {value=0x8100, mask=0xffff}.
This gets propagated all the way to is1_entry_set() which commits it to
hardware (the VCAP_IS1_HK_ETYPE field of the key). Compare this to the
case where src_mac isn't specified - the key type is OCELOT_VCAP_KEY_ANY,
and is1_entry_set() doesn't populate VCAP_IS1_HK_ETYPE.
The problem is that for VLAN-tagged frames, the hardware interprets the
ETYPE field as holding the encapsulated VLAN protocol. So the above
filter will only match those packets which have an encapsulated protocol
of 0x8100, rather than all packets with VLAN ID 200 and the given src_mac.
The reason why this is allowed to occur is because, although we have a
block of code in ocelot_flower_parse_key() which sets "match_protocol"
to false when VLAN keys are present, that code executes too late.
There is another block of code, which executes for Ethernet addresses,
and has a "goto finished_key_parsing" and skips the VLAN header parsing.
By skipping it, "match_protocol" remains with the value it was
initialized with, i.e. "true", and "proto" is set to f->common.protocol,
or 0x8100.
The concept of ignoring some keys rather than erroring out when they are
present but can't be offloaded is dubious in itself, but is present
since the initial commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
