mainlining shenanigans
1958d5815c
It should be the driver's business to logically separate its VLAN offloading into a preparation and a commit phase, and some drivers don't need / can't do this. So remove the transactional shim from DSA and let drivers propagate errors directly from the .port_vlan_add callback. It would appear that the code has worse error handling now than it had before. DSA is the only in-kernel user of switchdev that offloads one switchdev object to more than one port: for every VLAN object offloaded to a user port, that VLAN is also offloaded to the CPU port. So the "prepare for user port -> check for errors -> prepare for CPU port -> check for errors -> commit for user port -> commit for CPU port" sequence appears to make more sense than the one we are using now: "offload to user port -> check for errors -> offload to CPU port -> check for errors", but it is really a compromise. In the new way, we can catch errors from the commit phase that we previously had to ignore. But we have our hands tied and cannot do any rollback now: if we add a VLAN on the CPU port and it fails, we can't do the rollback by simply deleting it from the user port, because the switchdev API is not so nice with us: it could have simply been there already, even with the same flags. So we don't even attempt to rollback anything on addition error, just leave whatever VLANs managed to get offloaded right where they are. This should not be a problem at all in practice.

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.
