Hi,

I'm using the AF_PACKET socket with setsockopt(PACKET_AUXDATA) to get
the incoming VLAN tag. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I see
the first VLAN tag is always stripped - either in hardware or in
net/core/dev.c in __netif_receive_skb_core() - and stored in
skb->vlan_tci. Therefore, it won't be in the packet data anymore.

If I use the socket with ETH_P_ALL as protocol, everything works as
expected. But if I'm using an actual protocol number, instead of the
catch all, the tp_vlan_tci field inside the auxdata will be zero. I've
traced this to commit d4b812dea4a236f729526facf97df1a9d18e191c (vlan:
mask vlan prio bits):

+       if (unlikely(vlan_tx_tag_present(skb))) {
+               if (vlan_tx_tag_get_id(skb))
+                       skb->pkt_type = PACKET_OTHERHOST;
+               /* Note: we might in the future use prio bits
+                * and set skb->priority like in vlan_do_receive()
+                * For the time being, just ignore Priority Code Point
+                */
+               skb->vlan_tci = 0;
+       }

The ptype_all callbacks (which are working as expected) are before
this code and the ptype_specific callbacks (which are not working) are
after this piece of code. I don't know it this is a bug or not, I
guess it is one, at least from the AF_PACKET socket point of view. If
not, how I'm supposed to get the original VLAN tag with
socket(AF_PACKET, my_protocol)?

I also don't understand the commit (message) as the subject suggesets
only the prio bits should be masked, but with "skb->vlan_tci = 0"
everything is masked. Therefore, I've put the original (hopefully the
mail addresses are still valid) authors in CC.


ping? :)
