The unbalance of master's promiscuity or allmulti will happen after ifdown and ifup a slave interface which is in a bridge. When we ifdown a slave interface , both the 'dsa_slave_close' and 'dsa_slave_change_rx_flags' will clear the master's flags. The flags of master will be decrease twice. In the other hand, if we ifup the slave interface again, since the slave's flags were cleared the 'dsa_slave_open' won't set the master's flag, only 'dsa_slave_change_rx_flags' that triggered by 'br_add_if' will set the master's flags. The flags of master is increase once. Only propagating flag changes when a slave interface is up makes sure this does not happen. The 'vlan_dev_change_rx_flags' had the same problem and was fixed, and changes here follows that fix.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
