Enabling sysfs attribute bridge_hostnotify triggers a series of udev events
for the MAC addresses of all currently connected peers. In case no VLAN is
set for a peer, the device reports the corresponding MAC addresses with
VLAN ID 4096. This currently results in attribute VLAN=4096 for all
non-VLAN interfaces in the initial series of events after host-notify is
enabled.
Instead, no VLAN attribute should be reported in the udev event for
non-VLAN interfaces.
Only the initial events face this issue. For dynamic changes that are
reported later, the device uses a validity flag.
This also changes the code so that it now sets the VLAN attribute for
MAC addresses with VID 0. On Linux, no qeth interface will ever be
registered with VID 0: Linux kernel registers VID 0 on all network
interfaces initially, but qeth will drop .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid for VID 0.
Peers with other OSs could register MACs with VID 0.

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.
