Thank you for answering my question.
Actually this is what I want to achieve:

eth0----+               +----bond0.100----br0-100---{+virtual machines
           |             |
           +----bond0----+----br0---(LAN)
           |             |
eth1----+               +----bond0.200----br0-200---{+virtual machines

Hi Leonardo,

I'm not sure recent kernels allow for a given interface to be a port
for a bridge and the base interface for vlan interfaces at the same
time. This might be particularly true for 2.6.38 or 2.6.38+, because
of the new rx_handler usage.

This topology is not legit and should/will be prohibited.

Only consider that you have + br0.100 device on top of br0. Where should
the packet go?

I suggest to consider topology change.

It should be possible to have bridge for untagged (or 802.1p only)
packets independent of 802.1q tagged packets. I wonder if tag 0
devices should be expanded to have a flag that will enable handling
untagged packets by it.

Isn't the BROUTING chain of the broute table of ebtables designed exactly for that?

I think DROPing in this chain should allow delivery to VLAN:

In br_input.c :

                 rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook);
                 if (rhook) {
                         if ((*rhook)(skb)) {
                                 *pskb = skb;
                                 return RX_HANDLER_PASS;
                         }

RX_HANDLER_PASS causes the skb to be normally delivered in __netif_receive_skb.

Leonardo, would you please try to DROP vlan tagged packets in the BROUTING chain of the broute table 
of ebtables?

	Nicolas.
