The new VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2 capability added support that allows the PF to set the location of the Tx and Rx VLAN tag for insertion and stripping offloads. In order to support this functionality a few changes are needed. 1. Add a new method to cache the VLAN tag location based on negotiated capabilities for the Tx and Rx ring flags. This needs to be called in the initialization and reset paths. 2. Refactor the transmit hotpath to account for the new Tx ring flags. When IAVF_TXR_FLAGS_VLAN_LOC_L2TAG2 is set, then the driver needs to insert the VLAN tag in the L2TAG2 field of the transmit descriptor. When the IAVF_TXRX_FLAGS_VLAN_LOC_L2TAG1 is set, then the driver needs to use the l2tag1 field of the data descriptor (same behavior as before). 3. Refactor the iavf_tx_prepare_vlan_flags() function to simplify transmit hardware VLAN offload functionality by only depending on the skb_vlan_tag_present() function. This can be done because the OS won't request transmit offload for a VLAN unless the driver told the OS it's supported and enabled. 4. Refactor the receive hotpath to account for the new Rx ring flags and VLAN ethertypes. This requires checking the Rx ring flags and descriptor status bits to determine the location of the VLAN tag. Also, since only a single ethertype can be supported at a time, check the enabled netdev features before specifying a VLAN ethertype in __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag().

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.
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.
