The iavf doc sounds like very similar behavior from both functions, just 802.1Q vs 802.1ad. Sounds like both will just pop/strip the outer vlan tag. I have seen Ethertype 802.1Q being used (in practice) for double tagged packets, even-though 802.1ad should have been used to comply with the standard. > What about: > * bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_vlan_tag > * bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_vlan_qinq_tag > This sounds good to me. I do wonder if we really need two functions for this? Would one function be enough? Given the (iavf) description, the functions basically does the same. Looking at your ice driver implementation, they could be merged into one function, as it is the same location in the descriptor. >> >>>> >>>>> + * @ctx: XDP context pointer. >>>>> + * @vlan_tag: Return value pointer. >>>>> + * >>>> >>>> IMHO right here, there should be a description. >>>> >>>> E.g. for what a VLAN "tag" means.
