[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 12/13] net/enic: fix an endian bug in VLAN match

Sat Mar 2 11:42:50 CET 2019


The VLAN fields in the NIC filter use little endian. The VLAN item is
in big endian, so swap bytes.

Fixes: 6ced137607d0 ("net/enic: flow API for NICs with advanced filters enabled")

+The VIC performs packet matching after applying VLAN strip. If VLAN
+stripping is enabled, EtherType in the ETH item corresponds to the
+stripped VLAN header's EtherType. Stripping does not affect the VLAN
+item. TCI and EtherType in the VLAN item are matched against those in
+the (stripped) VLAN header whether stripping is enabled or disabled.
+
 More features may be added in future firmware and new versions of the VIC.
 Please refer to the release notes.
