A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

Currently the sja1105 tagging protocol prefers using the source port
information from the VLAN header if that is available, falling back to
the INCL_SRCPT option if it isn't. The VLAN header is available for all
frames except for META frames initiated by the switch (containing RX
timestamps), and thus, the "if (is_link_local)" branch is practically
dead.
The tag_8021q source port identification has become more loose
("imprecise") and will report a plausible rather than exact bridge port,
when under a bridge (be it VLAN-aware or VLAN-unaware). But link-local
traffic always needs to know the precise source port. With incorrect
source port reporting, for example PTP traffic over 2 bridged ports will
all be seen on sockets opened on the first such port, which is incorrect.
Now that the tagging protocol has been changed to make link-local frames
always contain source port information, we can reverse the order of the
checks so that we always give precedence to that information (which is
always precise) in lieu of the tag_8021q VID which is only precise for a
standalone port.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
