Subject: [PATCH v2] net: fix parsing of frames with arbitrary VLAN stacks
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 15:14:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115131456.554948-1-getelson@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260114113327.3618b433@phoenix.local>

The rte_net_get_ptype() supported only 2 types of VLAN headers frames
that are defined in the IEEE standards 802.1Q and 802.1ad:

frames with a single 0x8100 VLAN header:
  eth type VLAN / vlan / [IPv4 | IPv6 ]

frames with 0x88A8 QinQ header followed by 0x8100 VLAN:
 eth type QinQ / vlan type VLAN / vlan / [IPv4 | IPv6 ]

The function did not parse frames where VLAN headers were stacked in
different configurations.
Such frames should also be allowed to provide HW vendor flexibility.
As a result, ptype bitmask and header length returned from
rte_net_get_ptype() for a custom VLAN frame were wrong.

For example, the parser result for the frame
  eth type QinQ / vlan type QinQ / vlan type VLAN / vlan / ipv4
was:
pkt_type:=0x120007
   RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_QINQ         0x00000007 OK
   RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L2_ETHER_VLAN   0x00020000 wrong
   RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L3_IPV4         0x00100000 wrong

hdr_lens:={
  l2_len       = 22 wrong
  inner_l2_len =  4 wrong
  l3_len       =  0 wrong
  inner_l3_len = 20 wrong
}

The patch changes:
1. Allow frames with up to RTE_NET_VLAN_MAX_DEPTH:=8
   number of VLAN headers.

2. Set each parsed VLAN type in the returned ptype bitmask.
   Multiple VLAN headers are referenced by a single
   RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN bit.
   Multiple QinQ headers are references by a single
   RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_QINQ bit.

3. Preserve RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER bit if VLAN or QinQ type was detected.

Fixes: eb173c8def0a ("net: support VLAN in software packet type parser")
Fixes: 218a163efd67 ("net: support QinQ in software packet type parser")
