Previously it was not possible to distinguish between mpls ether types and other ether types. This leads to incorrect classification of offloaded filters that match on mpls ether type. For example the following two filters overlap: # tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: \ protocol 0x8847 flower \ action mirred egress redirect dev eth1 # tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: \ protocol 0x0800 flower \ action mirred egress redirect dev eth2 The driver now correctly includes the mac_mpls layer where HW stores mpls fields, when it detects an mpls ether type. It also sets the MPLS_Q bit to indicate that the filter should match mpls packets.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
