I think this patch is wrong, because eth_type_trans() also does a
skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN).
To Jason, are you sure about this fix?
How did you test this?
I usually test with:
$ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
$ sudo ./test_xdp_vlan_mode_generic.sh
But currently I get a build error on net-next in:
net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/pid_iter.bpf.o
So, I could not run this test.
