Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== VLAN improvements for Ocelot switch The main reason why I started this work is that deleting the bridge mdb entries fails when the bridge is deleted, as described here: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201015173355.564934-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ In short, that happens because the bridge mdb entries are added with a vid of 1, but deletion is attempted with a vid of 0. So the deletion code fails to find the mdb entries. The solution is to make ocelot use a pvid of 0 when it is under a bridge with vlan_filtering 0. When vlan_filtering is 1, the pvid of the bridge is what is programmed into the hardware. The patch series also uncovers more bugs and does some more cleanup, but the above is the main idea behind it. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201031102916.667619-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
