Subject: [PATCH v18 nf-next 4/4] netfilter: nft_chain_filter: Add bridge double vlan and pppoe

From: Eric Woudstra <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 20:58:43 +0100

In nft_do_chain_bridge() pktinfo is only fully populated for plain packets
and packets encapsulated in single 802.1q or 802.1ad.

When implementing the software bridge-fastpath and testing all possible
encapulations, there can be more encapsulations:

The packet could (also) be encapsulated in PPPoE, or the packet could be
encapsulated in an inner 802.1q, combined with an outer 802.1ad or 802.1q
encapsulation.

nft_flow_offload_eval() also examines the L4 header, with the L4 protocol
known from the conntrack-tuplehash. To access the header it uses
nft_thoff(), but for these packets it returns zero.

Introduce nft_set_bridge_pktinfo() to help populate pktinfo with the
offsets.
