In flow steering, if asked to, the hardware matches on the first ethertype
which is not vlan. It's possible to set a rule as follows, which is meant
to match on untagged packet, but will match on a vlan packet:
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip flower ...
To avoid this for packets with single tag, we set vlan masks to tell
hardware to check the tags for every matched packet.
Fixes: 095b6cfd69 ('net/mlx5e: Add TC vlan match parsing')

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
