From 0c4f691ff6791e55ac831666df0b49b1679c56e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Feldman Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2015 18:24:48 -0700 Subject: net: don't reforward packets already forwarded by offload device Just before queuing skb for xmit on port, check if skb has been marked by switchdev port driver as already fordwarded by device. If so, drop skb. A non-zero skb->offload_fwd_mark field is set by the switchdev port driver/device on ingress to indicate the skb has already been forwarded by the device to egress ports with matching dev->skb_mark. The switchdev port driver would assign a non-zero dev->offload_skb_mark for each device port netdev during registration, for example.
