Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/15] virtchnl: add VIRTCHNL_VLAN_ETHERTYPE_88E7 support
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 14:35:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805213541.2281287-5-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805213541.2281287-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>

From: Aleksandr Loktionov <aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com>

IEEE 802.1ah (Provider Backbone Bridging) uses ethertype 0x88E7 as the
Backbone Service Tag (B-TAG). Some deployments stack 802.1ah on top of
existing QinQ or single-tagged VLAN infrastructure, creating scenarios
where a VF needs to negotiate support for the 0x88E7 ethertype with the
PF in order to install correct VLAN filters.

Add VIRTCHNL_VLAN_ETHERTYPE_88E7 = BIT(3) to the virtchnl_vlan_support
capability bitmask so that VF drivers can advertise and negotiate 0x88E7
VLAN ethertype support through the existing VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS
handshake.

The new bit follows the established BIT(N) pattern of the enum and does
not conflict with any existing flag.
