Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 2/2] ixgbe: ixgbe_atr() compute l4_proto only if non-paged data has network/transport headers
From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan at oracle.com>
For some Tx paths (e.g., tpacket_snd()), ixgbe_atr may be passed down an sk_buff that has the network and transport header in the paged data, so it needs to make sure these headers are available in the headlen bytes to calculate the l4_proto.
This patch expect that network and transport headers are already available in the non-paged header dat. The assumption is that the caller has set this up if l4_proto based Tx steering is desired.
