Subject: veth: move loopback logic to common location
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=44540960;p=linux-beck.git

veth: move loopback logic to common location

The veth driver contains code to forward an skb
from the start_xmit function of one network
device into the receive path of another device.

Moving that code into a common location lets us
reuse the code for direct forwarding of data
between macvlan ports, and possibly in other
drivers.
