From 849b920e17a2b1e9a3c912ca960dc667d27985e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:53:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] etherdev: Avoid unnecessary byte swap in check for Ethertype This change takes advantage of the fact that ETH_P_802_3_MIN is aligned to 512 so as a result we can actually ignore the lower 8b when comparing the Ethertype to ETH_P_802_3_MIN. This allows us to avoid a byte swap by simply masking the value and comparing it to the byte swapped value for ETH_P_802_3_MIN. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S.
