      When the following commands are executed:
      
      brctl addbr br0
      ifconfig br0 hw ether <addr>
      rmmod bridge
      
      The calltrace will occur:

      --------------------------- cut here -------------------------------
      
      The reason is that when the bridge dev's address is changed, the
      br_fdb_change_mac_address() will add new address in fdb, but when
      the bridge was removed, the address entry in the fdb did not free,
      the bridge_fdb_cache still has objects when destroy the cache, Fix
      this by flushing the bridge address entry when removing the bridge.
      
      v2: according to the Toshiaki Makita and Vlad's suggestion, I only
          delete the vlan0 entry, it still have a leak here if the vlan id
          is other number, so I need to call fdb_delete_by_port(br, NULL, 1)
          to flush all entries whose dst is NULL for the bridge.

      net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces · d2615bf4
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      The following commit:
          b6c40d68
          net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP
      
      tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting.
      The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that
      was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count.
      This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently
      down.
      
      A later commit:
          deede2fa
          vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces
      
      fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up,
      thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN.
      
      The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack
      involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans,
      then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to
      the physical devices.  A simple examle of the scenario is the
      following:
      
        eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50
      
      If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to
      the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is
      currently required for operation as part of the bridge.  As a
      result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface.
      
      The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are
      VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect
      flag propagation.  As a result we can remove the generic solution
      introduced in b6c40d68 and leave
      it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block
      flag propagation or not.
