Hi Guenter,

Issue fixed, thanks! vlan_hwaccel_push_inside() adds additional memmove, but
this approach is simpler.

My work is based on v4.1-rc3. Unfortunately the VLAN support breaks on latest
net-next/master (e.g. NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD is removed; .ndo_bridge_setlink
used to set tag and PVID, is moved to switchdev.)

Are you willing to give it a try based on v4.1-rc3 in the meantime?
Otherwise, I'll send the RFC as soon as the support is functional on net-next.

Thanks,
