From bdf4351bbc62f3b24151cf19ca6e531b68d8c340 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshiaki Makita Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:29:37 +0900 Subject: bridge: Remove unnecessary vlan_put_tag in br_handle_vlan br_handle_vlan() pushes HW accelerated vlan tag into skbuff when outgoing port is the bridge device. This is unnecessary because __netif_receive_skb_core() can handle skbs with HW accelerated vlan tag. In current implementation, __netif_receive_skb_core() needs to extract the vlan tag embedded in skb data. This could cause low network performance especially when receiving frames at a high frame rate on the bridge device. Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.
