Note the usage slightly below:
/**
* Bitmask of all supported packet Tx offload features flags,
* which can be set for packet.
*/
#define PKT_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK ( \
PKT_TX_OUTER_IPV6 | \
PKT_TX_OUTER_IPV4 | \
PKT_TX_OUTER_IP_CKSUM | \
PKT_TX_VLAN_PKT | \
So this implies that PKT_TX_VLAN_PKT (which is PKT_TX_VLAN's old name)
is an offload feature, not that the actual packet has an 802.1q header
(offloaded or otherwise).
The same seems to apply for PKT_TX_QINQ.
