This is independent of my series and a preexisting problem, right?
Which fields do you think need to be reset to maintain namespace
isolation for the outbound path in macvlan?

net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device
In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.
To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,
this resets the potentially critical fields.
