DSA and underlying 802.1Q encapsulation

[Vivien Didelot]

Hi,

I'm doing tests with VLAN support in DSA and I noticed that the EDSA 
frame is prepended with a 802.1q header once queued to the underlying 
network device, in net/dsa/tag_edsa.c:

    skb->dev = p->parent->dst->master_netdev;
    dev_queue_xmit(skb);

This issue can be observed with the following dump:

    curl -s http://ix.io/iIv | tcpdump -en -r -

I suspect that the DSA code must clear some VLAN flags in the skb
structure, in order to prevent the additional encapsulation by the lower
level. Does this make sense?

Thanks,
-v
