net: dsa: Don't set skb->protocol on outgoing tagged packets
Setting skb->protocol to a private protocol type may result in warning messages such as e1000e 0000:00:19.0 em1: checksum_partial proto=dada! This happens if the L3 protocol is IP or IPv6 and skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. Looking through the code, it appears that changing skb->protocol for transmitted packets is not necessary and may actually be harmful. For example, it prevents purposely unmodified (from a DSA perspective) network drivers from properly setting up their transmit checksum offload pointers since they inspect skb->protocol to set up the IPv4 header or IPv6 header pointers. So don't unnecessarily change the protocol field. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
