This reverts commit e9bf9694. The topic of the reverted patch is the support for switches with global VLAN filtering, added by commit 061f6a50 ("net: dsa: Add ndo_vlan_rx_{add, kill}_vid implementation"). Be there a switch with 4 ports swp0 -> swp3, and the following setup: ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 ip link set swp0 master br0 ip link set swp1 master br0 What would happen with VLAN-tagged traffic received on standalone ports swp2 and swp3? Well, it would get dropped, were it not for the .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid and .ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid implementations (called from vlan_vid_add and vlan_vid_del respectively). Basically, for DSA switches where VLAN filtering is a global attribute, we enforce the standalone ports to have 'rx-vlan-filter: off [fixed]' in their ethtool features, which lets the user know that all VLAN-tagged packets that are not explicitly added in the RX filtering list are dropped. As for the sja1105 driver, at the time of the reverted patch, it was operating in a pretty handicapped mode when it had ports under a bridge with vlan_filtering=1. Specifically, it was unable to terminate traffic through the CPU port (for further explanation see "Traffic support" in Documentation/networking/dsa/sja1105.rst). However, since then, the sja1105 driver has made considerable progress, and that limitation is no longer as severe now. Specifically, since commit 2cafa72e ("net: dsa: sja1105: add a new best_effort_vlan_filtering devlink parameter"), the driver is able to perform CPU termination even when some ports are under bridges with vlan_filtering=1. Then, since commit 8841f6e6 ("net: dsa: sja1105: make devlink property best_effort_vlan_filtering true by default"), this even became the default operating mode. So we can now take advantage of the logic in the DSA core. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
