[PATCH nf-next 1/4] net: netfilter: Add ether_type to net_device_path_ctx

Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo at kernel.org
Tue May 5 07:49:23 PDT 2026


Add an ether_type field to struct net_device_path_ctx to allow IPv6
tunnel drivers to select the appropriate L3 protocol based on the
encapsulated traffic.
Update the airoha and mtk Ethernet drivers to use the new
dev_fill_forward_path() signature.
This is a preliminary patch to enable sw flowtable acceleration for
IPv4 over IPv6 tunnels.
