As we discussed offline, calling mac_prop_load() in dls_devnet_open_by_dev() is fine, but one thing to note is ddp->dd_vlanid could be DATALINK_INVALID_LINKID at this point, if this is a /dev node which is plumbed when dlmgmtd is not started yet. At that point, its linkid is not assigned. Further, as we discussed, adding mac_prop_load() in dls_devnet_open_xxx() code path will not be able to initialize the link properties for physical links if they are used by some MAC clients (for example, when bge1 is added into an aggregation). Alternatively, I am wondering whether it is possible to call mac_prop_load/unload() in dls_devnet_set/unset(), so that persistent link properties would be populated whenever the link exists. Thirdly, like I mentioned to you, can we make mac_proplist_t to be based on linkid instead of spa and move proplist to be part of the dls module instead of the mac module? Doing that, I think we could simplify the code a bit. Let me know if the above is doable. If not, please also let me know and I will continue the review.
