Subject: offloading: Make scatter/gather more tolerant of vlans.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e1e78db628b33c657944865e3bca01ee59cc5b80;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

offloading: Make scatter/gather more tolerant of vlans.

When checking if it is necessary to linearize a packet, we currently
use vlan_features if the packet contains either an in-band or out-
of-band vlan tag.  However, in-band tags aren't special in any way
for scatter/gather since they are part of the packet buffer and are
simply more data to DMA.  Therefore, only use vlan_features for out-
of-band tags, which could potentially have some interaction with
scatter/gather.
