Hell knows... net/bridge/br_netfilter.c will give you just that. From the
look of other similar instances, I suspect that it's handling of case ...:
somewhere:
static inline unsigned int nf_bridge_encap_header_len(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
switch (skb->protocol) {
case __cpu_to_be16(ETH_P_8021Q):
return VLAN_HLEN;
case __cpu_to_be16(ETH_P_PPP_SES):
return PPPOE_SES_HLEN;
default:
return 0;
}
}
also warns the same way on both __cpu_to_be16()...
