There is a slight inconvenience in the switchdev replay helpers added recently, and this is when: ip link add br0 type bridge ip link add bond0 type bond ip link set bond0 master br0 bridge vlan add dev bond0 vid 100 ip link set swp0 master bond0 ip link set swp1 master bond0 Since the underlying driver (currently only DSA) asks for a replay of VLANs when swp0 and swp1 join the LAG because it is bridged, what will happen is that DSA will try to react twice on the VLAN event for swp0. This is not really a huge problem right now, because most drivers accept duplicates since the bridge itself does, but it will become a problem when we add support for replaying switchdev object deletions. Let's fix this by adding a blank void *ctx in the replay helpers, which will be passed on by the bridge in the switchdev notifications. If the context is NULL, everything is the same as before. But if the context is populated with a valid pointer, the underlying switchdev driver (currently DSA) can use the pointer to 'see through' the bridge port (which in the example above is bond0) and 'know' that the event is only for a particular physical port offloading that bridge port, and not for all of them.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
