Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: add VLAN insert function with a TPID argument
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 15:22:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824192228.1197189-2-blandwwa@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824192228.1197189-1-blandwwa@gmail.com>
rte_vlan_insert() hardcodes EtherType 0x8100 (802.1Q). This is wrong
when reinserting a stripped tag whose original TPID was 0x88a8 (802.1ad
QinQ).
Add rte_vlan_insert_tpid() which takes an explicit tpid parameter, and
rewrite rte_vlan_insert() as a wrapper that passes RTE_ETHER_TYPE_VLAN.
