The condition above will trigger also when a VLAN is added on a member
port, and there's no other port with that VLAN. In that case the VLAN
comes without the BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY flag. In mlxsw we have this
to get the bridge VLANs:

	if (netif_is_bridge_master(orig_dev)) {

This doesn't appear to be done in DSA unless I'm missing something.

Petr's right. This will trigger for VLANs added on 'not cpu ports' if the VLAN
is not already a member. 

This command has BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY set:
bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 100 pvid untagged self 
I had the same issue on my CPSW RFC and solved it
exactly the same was as Petr suggested.
Thanks,

Humm, there must be something obvious I am missing, but the following
don't exactly result in what I would expect after adding a check for
vlan->flags & BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY:

brctl addbr br0
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_filtering
brctl addif br0 lan1

#1 results in lan1 being programmed with VID 1, PVID, untagged, but not
the CPU port. I would have sort of expected that the bridge layer would
also push the configuration to br0/CPU port since this is the default VLAN:

bridge vlan show dev br0
port	vlan ids
br0	1 PVID Egress Untagged

But it does not.

bridge vlan add vid 2 dev lan1

#2 same thing, results in only lan1 being programmed with VID 2, tagged
but that is expected because we are creating the VLAN only for the
user-facing port.

bridge vlan add vid 3 dev br0 self

#3 results in the CPU port being programmed with VID 3, tagged, again,
this is expected because we are only programming the bridge master/CPU
port here.

Does #1 also happen for cpsw and mlxsw or do you actually get events
about the bridge's default VLAN configuration? Or does the switch driver
actually need to obtain that at the time the port is enslaved somehow?

Thanks!

As long as ports are attached you get the events (one event per attached port

if the event is checked against BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY, the only way to add a

I think default pvid is per port thing. I.e. each port can have it's
own pvid (i.e. it will tag with vlan id not tagged incoming packet to
that port),
I did not exactly understand use case. With adding vlan filtering to
cpu port you filter out packets from other vlan groups to cpu port.
This might be useful
only for multicast packes or missing fbd entry on some dsa port. Is
filtering multicast a main problem to solve here?
Linux is missing vlan ingress policy. I.e. filtering (echo 1 >
/sys/br0/vlan_filter) has to be case of 3 policies: secure (default
now), check and fallback. With current secure mode it
might work, but with check mode it will be needed to add all vlans to
cpu port. Btw, on some hardware vlan ingress policies are also per
port, not per bridge.

We are talking about the bridge master device's default_pvid which can

you enslave a port of a switch into a bridge, you need to properly
configure the CPU/management port as well otherwise things just wont' be
working. At the time we enslave the first port into the bridge, there is
no notification AFAICT that is generated to tell us about what the
bridge master device's default_pvid is.

The general use case is that the CPU port on switches that have such a
thing is just a normal port on which you should be able to configure
exactly the VLAN membership and attributes.

With DSA switches today, we cannot do that, because there is no network
interface exposed for the CPU port (and there should not be one), so
when you target the bridge master device, e.g: br0, we can generate
events towards the switch driver that map to the CPU port.

There are many reasons for trying to do that, if we don't support such a
thing, then we need to have the CPU port be part of all VLAN IDs that
get added to ports, as a tagged member (because if untagged, you can't
differentiate traffic anymore).

Regarding your suggestion, we could certainly change vlan_filtering to
take several values:

0: disabled
1: secure
2: check

Or something like that.
