    Hi,
    NETDEV_CHANGE event is already propagated when the vlan changes flags,


I'm not sure if NETDEV_CHANGE is actually propagated when the vlan changes flags. The two functions in the bridge module that handle NETDEV_CHANGE are br_vlan_port_event  and br_vlan_bridge_event. I've installed probes for both, and when I'm changing flags using "sudo ip link set vlan10 type vlan bridge_binding on", I don't see any of those functions getting called, although I do see vlan_dev_change_flags getting called. I think there may be a bug in core/dev.c:__dev_notify_flags.

are both vlan and bridge interfaces up?
what exactly are you probing for?

I first run the attached pre.sh script that sets up the environment
and creates a vlan interface with bridge binding off. I then start
recording with perf, and here's the list of probes:

$ sudo ./k/linux/tools/perf/perf probe -l
  probe:br_vlan_bridge_event (on br_vlan_bridge_event in bridge with event dev)
  probe:br_vlan_port_event (on br_vlan_port_event in bridge with event)
  probe:br_vlan_set_vlan_dev_state (on br_vlan_set_vlan_dev_state in
bridge with br vlan_dev)
  probe:register_vlan_dev (on register_vlan_dev in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_changelink (on vlan_changelink in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_change_flags (on vlan_dev_change_flags in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_fix_features (on vlan_dev_fix_features in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_init  (on vlan_dev_init in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_ioctl (on vlan_dev_ioctl in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_open  (on vlan_dev_open in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_stop  (on vlan_dev_stop in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_dev_uninit (on vlan_dev_uninit in 8021q with dev)
  probe:vlan_newlink   (on vlan_newlink in 8021q with dev)

I then run the following command to turn the bridge binding flag on:

$ sudo ip link set vlan10 type vlan bridge_binding on

Then I stop the recording and print out the events, and I see this. I
don't see br_vlan_port_event or br_vlan_bridge_event getting called.

              ip  5933 [003]  2204.722470:
probe:vlan_changelink: (ffffffffc1042b50) dev="vlan10"
              ip  5933 [003]  2204.722476:
probe:vlan_dev_change_flags: (ffffffffc1042600) dev="vlan10"

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

I can see the NETDEV_CHANGE event go through when changing the loose binding.
