And could we separe the conditions for that into a static helper function
explaining each of these conditions? e.g. sth. like that:
static bool br_nf_need_fragment(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
/* Plain IP packet does not fit in MTU */
if (!(skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IP) && skb->len > skb->dev->mtu))
return true;
/* VLAN encapsulated IP packet does not fit in MTU */
if (IS_VLAN_IP(skb) && skb->len > skb->dev->mtu - VLAN_HLEN)
return true;
/* PPPoE encapsulated IP packet does not fit in MTU */
if (IS_PPPOE_IP(skb) && skb->len > skb->dev->mtu - PPPOE_SES_HLEN)
return true;
return false;
}
and then br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() becomes:
static int br_nf_dev_queue_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
if (br_nf_need_fragment(skb) && !skb_is_gso(skb))
return ip_fragment(skb, br_dev_queue_push_xmit);
else
return br_dev_queue_push_xmit(skb);
}
which is much more readable, more documented and doesn't contain a condition monster :-)
@Patrick: Could you check, wether the PPPoE case is correct?
What do you think? Should I submit a patch for that?
