Scott,

In fact I have to define these ndo, otherwise I get the "Buggy VLAN
acceleration in driver!" warning from net/core/dev.c and the switch
ports won't register.

I'm actually defining a noop function for them in dsa_slave_netdev_ops.

Is it correct to set NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_FILTER in slave_dev->features?

Thanks it works! Now the switch VLAN database is consistent with the
bridge commands, I'm sending a complete RFC very soon.

Scott, David,

I use this mail to expose a potential problem between iproute2 and the
kernel, found with my previous code. When issuing "ip link set dev swp0
master br0", ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid is called, but not ndo_bridge_setlink,
which results in an inconsistency between my switch VLAN database (and
port settings) and "bridge vlan", which shows "swp0   1 PVID Egress
Untagged".

Seems like there is a call to ndo_bridge_setlink to add somewhere, but I
have no clue where.

In the meantime, I call "bridge vlan add vid 1 dev swp0 pvid untagged
[master self]" at boot, to be consistent with the bridge output.

Thanks,
-v
