Introduce IFF_MACVLAN flag to recognize macvlan devices and two
helper functions, is_macvlan_dev() and macvlan_dev_real_dev().
These work like similar functions for 802.1q VLAN devices.

I just added this to netdevice.h here,

+static inline bool netif_is_macvlan(struct net_device *dev)
+{
+	return dev->priv_flags & IFF_MACVLAN;
+}
+

although I didn't wrap it in the IS_ENABLED if/else, but a
bitmask in slow path probably doesn't matter. As a precedent
none of the other netif_is_* bitmasks are wrapped like this.

The patch is

commit 2a47fa45d4dfbc54659d28de311a1f764b296a3c

     ixgbe: enable l2 forwarding acceleration for macvlans


I think you need to respin the patch with just the
macvlan_dev_real_dev() part.

Thanks,
John

My patch also conflicts with

  a6cc0cfa  net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devices

which introduced the IFF_MACVLAN flags (but sets it in
macvlan_common_newlink()). Both of yours are in net-next while mine are
against net (as 2/2 is a bugfix) which is why I didn't notice them.
I'm not sure what to do in such case.
