Subject: [PATCH 5/5] virtio_net: Add support for VLAN filtering in the hypervisor
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 09:36:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090120163636.10034.5080.stgit@debian.lart> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1232357520.5627.15.camel@blaa>

VLAN filtering allows the hypervisor to drop packets from VLANs
that we're not a part of, further reducing the number of extraneous
packets recieved.  This makes use of the VLAN virtqueue command class.
The ENABLE command is used both to activate the filter and verify the
existence of the functionality on the backend.

Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>

Updated with suggestions from Mark McLoughlin:
 - VLAN packet length fix split into separate patch
 - Indenting fix
 - Lower priority VLAN enabled printk
 - Renamed VLAN_KILL to VLAN_DEL
