I am pretty sure the bug is not in bpf, but in the wm driver. One shouldn't receive a packet with hardware vlan processing and then just call bpf_tap, because it doesn't represent the bits that came in. Easy improvements are decline to call bpf_tap if the metadata indicates vlan processing was done on this packet disable hw vlan processing (until this is fixed correctly) expose vlan offload as a capability to be enabled, like the rest.
