m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)
Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag
memory allocation have to be done.

work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

complex code duplication and improves its readability.
Alas, we shouldn't rename the macro to VLAN_TAG_LVALUE()
globally because that would cause pain for kernel module
port maintainers and vendors using FreeBSD as their codebase.

X-MFC-After: 6.0-RELEASE (MFC is good just to reduce the diff)
a packet has VLAN mbuf tag attached. This is faster to check than
m_tag_locate(), and allows us to use the tags in non-vlan(4) VLAN
producers.
The first argument to VLAN_OUTPUT_TAG() is now unused but retained
for backward compatibility.
While here, embellish a fix in rev. 1.174 of if_ethersubr.c -- it
now checks for packets with VLAN (mbuf) tags, and it should now
be possible to bridge(4) on vlan(4)'s whose parent interfaces
support VLAN decapsulation in hardware.

doing it here doesn't hurt and insures consistency.)
- In vlan_ioctl(), don't let the user set a VLAN ID value with anything

drivers "tag packets" with an m_tag and the input packet handling recognizes
such packets and does the right thing
o track the number of active vlans on an interface; this lets lots of places
only do vlan-specific processing when needed
o track changes to ether_ifdetach/ether_ifattach
o track bpf changes
o eliminate the use of M_PROTO1 for communicating to drivers about tagged
packets
o eliminate the use of IFF_LINK0 for drivers communicating to the vlan code
that they support h/w tagging; replaced by explicit interface capabilities
o add ifnet capabilities for h/w tagging and support of "large mtu's"
o use new interface capabilities to auto-configure use of large mtu's and h/w
tagging
o add support for proper handling of promiscuous mode
o document driver/vlan communication conventions

Also fixes one of if_ethersubr.c's legion style bugs, and removes
the hostcache code from standard kernels---the code that depends on it
is not going to happen any time soon, I'm afraid.
