net/sched: flower: fix parsing of ethertype following VLAN header
A tc flower filter matching TCA_FLOWER_KEY_VLAN_ETH_TYPE is expected to match the L2 ethertype following the first VLAN header, as confirmed by linked discussion with the maintainer. However, such rule also matches packets that have additional second VLAN header, even though filter has both eth_type and vlan_ethtype set to "ipv4". Looking at the code this seems to be mostly an artifact of the way flower uses flow dissector. First, even though looking at the uAPI eth_type and vlan_ethtype appear like a distinct fields, in flower they are all mapped to the same key->basic.n_proto. Second, flow dissector skips following VLAN header as no keys for FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_CVLAN are set and eventually assigns the value of n_proto to last parsed header. With these, such filters ignore any headers present between first VLAN header and first "non magic" header (ipv4 in this case) that doesn't result FLOW_DISSECT_RET_PROTO_AGAIN. Fix the issue by extendi...
