As http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg165015.html
pktgen generates shared packet through vlan interface will cause
oops because of duplicate entering tc queue.

Try to solve this problem by means of packet clone instead of sharing.

I really don't like adding this stuff to the fast path of pktgen.

Why would you use pktgen on a VLAN?

Its a good way to test qdiscs. When you run pktgen over the VLAN
you exercise the lower devices qdisc.

Although I never submitted a patch like this because I figured it
was a corner case and we would want to keep the hotpath clean.


Why don't you use the "vlan_id" feature available in pktgen, and send
in the lower real device?
