If a generic XDP program changes the destination MAC address from/to
multicast/broadcast, the skb->pkt_type is updated to properly handle
the packet when passed up the stack. When changing the MAC from/to
the NICs MAC, PACKET_HOST/OTHERHOST is not updated, though, making
the behavior different from that of native XDP.
Remember the PACKET_HOST/OTHERHOST state before calling the program
in generic XDP, and update pkt_type accordingly if the destination
MAC address has changed. As eth_type_trans() assumes a default
pkt_type of PACKET_HOST, restore that before calling it.
The use case for this is when a XDP program wants to push received
packets up the stack by rewriting the MAC to the NICs MAC, for
example by cluster nodes sharing MAC addresses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
