DSA-enabled master network devices with a switch tagging protocol should
strip the protocol specific format before handing the frame over to
higher layer.
When adding such a DSA master network device as a bridge member, we go
through the following code path when receiving a frame:
__netif_receive
The logic to configure a network interface for kernel IP
auto-configuration is very simplistic, and does not handle the case
where a device is stacked onto another such as with DSA. This causes the
kernel not to open and configure the master network device in a DSA
switch tree, and therefore slave
Hi David,
These two patches address some real world use cases of the DSA master and slave
network devices.
You have already seen patch 1 previously and you rejected it since my
explanations were not good enough to provide a justification as to why it is
useful, hopefully this time my explanation
