This looks wrong. The zero value of nla_get_be16(a[OVS_KEY_ATTR_VLAN])
together with empty a[OVS_KEY_ATTR_ENCAP] means truncated VLAN header
and this needs to be preserved.

In other words, you need to check also !nla_get_be16(a[OVS_KEY_ATTR_VLAN])
here.


Overall, this whole patch looks very suspicious from the very
beginning. The xors used are strong indication that something is not
right.

And indeed, you're breaking uAPI compatibility. Previously, the
VLAG_TAG_PRESENT bit set in OVS_KEY_ATTR_VLAN caused the flow to match
on packets with VLAN tag present. After this patch, it causes the flow
to match only on those packets that have a certain value of
VLAN_CFI_MASK in their VLAN tag (I haven't bother deciphering what
value is checked after all these xors, it's as well possible that it
will also match on packets _without_ any VLAN header).

You have to preserve the old meaning of VLAN_TAG_PRESENT in
OVS_KEY_ATTR_VLAN. When doing flow lookups, VLAN_TAG_PRESENT must match
on and only on packets that have VLAN tag present, irrespective of their
VLAN_CFI_MASK.

If you want to introduce support for lookups on VLAN_CFI_MASK, you'll
have to do that by introducing a new netlink attribute.
