SubjectRE: [EXT] Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] net: dsa: Add protocol support for 802.1AD when adding or deleting vlan for dsa switch port

I will review the related code, and confirm it.

Thanks for long reply.

When create a bridge br0, it's default protocol is 802.1Q, then add a port swp1 to bridge, the bridge will call add_vlan add a default VLAN to swp1, its vid is pvid 1, the vlan's protocol is 802.1Q. the related command is:
# ip link add dev br0 type bridge
# ip link set dev swp1 master br0

After testing port's 802.1Q mode, If want to test 802.1AD mode, we can use the following command to set switch and its ports into QinQ mode,
# ip link set br0 type bridge vlan_protocol 802.1ad
it will call vlan_vid_add(dev, proto, vid) for every port, the parameter proto is 802.1AD and the vid is also 1, after that, it will set br->vlan_proto to 802.1AD, the related code is __br_vlan_set_proto in br_vlan.c

vlan_vid_add will call dsa_slave_vlan_rx_add_vid.
But in dsa_slave_vlan_rx_add_vid, because we had added vlan 1 before, so br_vlan_get_info will return 0, then the function return -EBUSY, it can't call dsa_port_vid_add, so I add the code to check protocol changing.

I will add code to print the message for protocol changing.

I will extract the code to helper function.

I will change it in next version.

I will change it in next version.
