I reproduced it in macvlan bridge mode on a 6.6-based kernel. For local
broadcast and multicast, five IPv4 UDP frames with 32-byte payloads
increased rx_bytes by 440 bytes instead of 370. The captured frames
matched what was sent. Local unicast and traffic received from the lower
device were counted correctly.
I'll prepare a net-next series fixing both drivers, without Cc: stable,
and send it when net-next reopens.
Thanks,
Xia
