Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/12] netfilter: flowtable: store ethertype in flowtable context
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:40:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810194015.932627-7-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810194015.932627-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
Add a new field to store the ethertype of the packet, skipping layer 2
encapsulation. Store the ether_type in the context after parsing the
layer 2 header for the first time and then use it later on.
Acked-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>
