Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:
- NETIF_F_LLTX was forced for macvlan device in this case which lead extra lock
contention.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
watchdog
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
when tso is disabled for lower device.
Fix this by explicitly introducing a select queue method just for l2 forwarding
offload (ndo_dfwd_select_queue), and introducing dfwd_direct_xmit() to do the
queue selecting and transmitting for l2 forwarding.
With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit().
In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.
