Inspired by commit f09e224 (macvtap: restore vlan header on user read). This patch adds hardware vlan tx support for tuntap. This is done by copying vlan header directly into userspace in tun_put_user() instead of doing it through __vlan_put_tag() in dev_hard_start_xmit(). This eliminates one unnecessary memmove() in vlan_insert_tag() for 802.1ad and 802.1q traffic. pktgen test shows about 20% improvement for 802.1q traffic: Before: 662149pps 317Mb/sec (317831520bps) errors: 0 After: 801033pps 384Mb/sec (384495840bps) errors: 0 Cc: Basil Gor <[email protected]> Cc: Michael S.
